New Super Lucky's Tale Reviews
New Super Lucky's Tale is a delight to play, and I strongly encourage young and old alike to give it a try. Just make sure you are patient with loading screens...
With tight controls and a good amount of entertaining content for completionists, New Super Lucky's Tale justifies its $39.99 launch price for genre enthusiasts. But uneven level design holds this adventure back from true greatness. Check out the demo to get a feel for it.
New Super Lucky's Tale is the third installment of the Lucky's Tale series, with redesigned levels, creatures, and puzzles. This action-packed adventure is well suited to a younger audience and promises a 3D platforming adventure. Check out our review of this Playful Studios' newest game!
New Super Lucky's Tale is a game right at home on a Nintendo console. Featuring bright and colourful environments in a charming world full of life, it draws you in from the offset for an adventure I enjoyed more than some of Mario's. Though slightly frustrating for its loading times, it puts forward a great debut for the adventurous fox on the Switch, and I can only hope to see more down the line.
New Super Lucky's Tale is a great platform game for all ages. It has excellent gameplay and a great soundtrack. The biggest problem is its difficulty and maybe duration: besides being very easy (mainly for veterans of the 3D platform genre), the complete journey with 100% of the items does not take much time.

New Super Lucky’s Tale is a game that probably doesn’t need to exist, all things considered.
New Super Lucky’s Tale is one of my all-time favourite 3D platformers. It’s happy, colourful and engaging for players of all ages and the controls are as tight as can be. If you’re a fan of the genre, you simply have to pick this up and give it a go!
New Super Lucky's Tale is a charming and well done platformer. The number of moves you have may seem limited, since you learn nothing else in your journey, but the game does a good job of making sure you use all of the moves all of the time. The colorful look is aided by the general charm of the characters to create an experience where you're constantly grinning. It may be easy for genre veterans, and the load times can be annoying, but the short runtime ensures that the game doesn't overstay its welcome.
Easy enough for newcomers to just pick up and play, and providing just enough fun and familiar challenge for veterans of the genre.
Lucky himself might be unlucky to be such a boring character, but he is fun to play as, and gets to run around in charming worlds.
New Super Lucky’s Tale is a competent game but not one which will excite players.
New Super Lucky’s Tale is better than its predecessor in many ways, but in some areas it falls short, mainly because of the hardware it’s running on.
It takes the fun original release and turns it into something pretty special. The Switch could be a fantastic new start for Lucky. Who knows, maybe he could have a crossover with another Nintendo fox someday. While the Switch has no shortage of great 3D platformers, New Super Lucky's Tale shouldn't be too far from the top of your list.
3D platformers don't get much cuter than New Super Lucky's Tale.
A great example of how the 3D Mascot Platformer style is still alive and thriving
New Super Lucky’s Tale perfectly executes what it proposes: a classic, simple, fun and inviting platform game for all audiences. The little ones will have fun with the charismatic characters and they will be challenged in the right measure, without compromising the fun. Adults will have a great option for those hours that we just want to enjoy a relaxed game and get away from the action of other titles. The original stages, the soundtrack and the diverse challenges help to keep the game fresh.

So while New Super Lucky’s Tale doesn’t do anything “new” and could be viewed as playing it safe, what it does it does well. Solid platforming experiences in 2, 2.5 and 3D environments alongside an adorable saturday morning cartoon script and it was easy to sink hours into it regardless of the platform and if you are a trophy or achievement hunter as there’s plenty to unlock!
New Super Lucky's tale offers a fun and original platform game that will delight all fans of the genre. Visually it has an impeccable appearance, full of color and with very imaginative designs. The difficulty is quite fair with the player and its duration will leave us satisfied. A highly recommended purchase.
