A wickedly creative romp through a basic storybook tale of good versus evil that ends up being anything but basic, The tale of Jot and his merry band of mates is one that you will easily enjoy - remembered long after that final page has been turned.

From the seamless transition between 2D and 3D worlds to the heartfelt narrative, it offers players an experience that is both fresh and nostalgic. With its imaginative narrative, breathtaking visuals, and inventive gameplay mechanics, The Plucky Squire is easily one of the standout games of 2024, taking players on a magical journey through dimensions they’ve never before experienced.
One of the gaming highlights of the year (2024), and an absolute delight of a family experience. Sebastian would approve.
“Books aren’t video games,” and you’d normally be right, but in the case of this title, developed by All Possible Futures and published by Devolver Digital, all the naysayers are proven wrong.
