An incredibly charming, Mario-like Jump 'n Run with clean graphics, tight controls, very catchy music (the music is REALLY catchy, alright) and a carefree attitude carried out by the overall happy-go-lucky theme of the game. New Super Lucky's Tale (NSLT) is an enhanced version of Super Lucky's Tale (SLT), including its DLCs, which I played on the Xbox One as part of the Gamepass. Contrary to my normal gaming schedule, I 100%-ed it back then, because I just had a ton of fun with it.

While I haven't played NSLT all too much yet, judging by what I've seen so far, Playful took care of the biggest weaknesses of SLT. The camera is free look now and can be tilted and rotated to the hearts desire, and the levels have undergone an overhaul in many regards. It's the same game at heart, but still feels fresh due to the many big and small changes - lot of details added and tweaked and mechanics adjusted to keep the game fresh.

It's a really nice platformer that doesn't try to do anything extraordinary. But the things it does are more than solid and varied enough to carry through without a hint of boredom arising. The difficulty is very manageable in the main game, though the optional DLC levels turn it up two notches without going completely overboard either - they are however meant for advanced players.

I'm absolutely looking forward to a Super Lucky's Tale 2 now. (N)SLT is a game that's able to bring a smile to the face, and I'd love to see the adventures of the adorable fox Lucky continue.

A remake of the original game that vastly improves everything about it. Surprised it was coming out for PC as they initially didn't announce a release. If you love platformers than you'll like this game.

Super Lucky's Tale is traditionally built. There are a number of different worlds, with each world eventually having a boss to defeat.
However, before you get to the final boss, you must collect four-leaf clovers in one of the many levels in each world.
Some of these levels consist of only one puzzle, other levels are small worlds in themselves with lots to discover and in other levels the game changes into a 2D platformer.
A lot of variation, but in each level it is ultimately about collecting those four-leaf clovers.

Here you can see a piece of gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4eqqs_VI3s
The game also works great on a steam deck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpPxFT1Vl-k

On the other hand, Super Lucky's Tale is not a particularly easy game, even though dying has little to no consequences.
It is a game that, as befits a good platformer, relies on skill.
The 2D levels in particular can get unexpectedly spicy when you jump onto rotating platforms at a rapid pace and dodge bee stings.
Moreover, in these 2D levels, the depth is sometimes played with, so that you suddenly end up in a layer 'behind' the level. The biggest challenge is then to keep an overview.

Cute game thats finally on PC, if you like Crash bandicoot this is a really good game. Not much of a challenge but enough to make the game really fun.

A splendid Update to Super Lucky's Tale [SLT]; New Super Lucky's Tale [NSLT] adds a Ton of Improvement and Fixes to the Original 2017 Release.

I was able to 100% Everything Including All Achievements. Thankfully, the grinding Achievements from Super Lucky's Tale did not return.

Visuals - 4/5
----------

While largely Unchanged from SLT, NSLT adds far more Cutscenes with each Including far more Expression and Liveliness to the Game. These really Help bring more Flavour to the Characters, Story and Presentation.
Lucky now Runs on Two Legs compared to All Fours In SLT. This really Helps Fit Him Into the Worlds around Him. His Attacks are Swift and much more Responsive. Several Levels have been adjusted to Include more Colourful Lighting and Warmer/Cooler Tones depending on the Setting. Almost All Cutscenes are done In-Engine but the Prologue and Epilogue change the Painted Style from SLT to a far more Expressive yet less Detailed Cartoon/Comic Style.


Controls - 5/5
-----------

A Massive Improvement from SLT, Lucky Is more Responsive than ever. His Attacks are Swift and have far better Hit Detection, Making Combat much more Enjoyable and less Chance of Lucky being Suckerpunched from a Random Projectile or Enemy. His Movement Is far less Floaty than In SLT too; Giving the Player much more Control.

Camera Controls are another much needed Improvement with a Full 3D Camera compared to SLT's 45 Degree Tilting Camera. This can really Help give Broader Perspective on each World that Lucky can Travel to.

Again, Lucky's Double Jump doesn't gain much Height but He Is able to Clamber onto Surfaces far more Easily; Reducing the Number of awkward Jumps and Chances of Falling to Death.

It Is also now Impossible to Die In Hub Worlds; Thereby Inhibiting the Loss of Player Lives while Exploring.

Sound - 5/5
---------

Sound Quality is largely Unchanged; However, The Soggy Boggy Boy's Song has Changed to a far more Lively Track compared to the Slower Song from SLT. Lady's Meowmalade's Boss Track Is still as Pumping as before and the Overall Sound Design and Soundtrack Is the Same as SLT.


Gameplay - 5/5
-------------

Lucky's Tailswipe has Increased to a 3-Hit Combo from the Simple Swipe from SLT. Combat Is far more Responsive and Pleasing to Perform; Especially with the better Hit Detection.

While most Levels are Unchanged, The Spookington Hub has been completely Redesigned to Hauntingham and the Level for the Soggy Boggy Boys In Veggie Village has been Expanded and takes place at Night, Giving It a larger Platforming Aspect.

Enemies Types are the Same; However, Some Bosses have seen Upgrades. Some almost Unnoticeable and Others far more Improved over Their SLT Counterparts.

The New 3D Camera also Helps the Player In Navigating the Large Levels and prevent any Accidental Deaths from Falling.

The DLC from SLT has been Flawlessly Implemented Into NSLT; Fitting the Narrative much more Smoothly.

Overall - 19/20
----------

As a Fan of the Original SLT, I was Quick to Grab NSLT at Its Initial Sale Price and was rather Impressed with the Amount of Tuning that Plaful Corp. had made to the Game. 3D Platforming Fans that are New to Lucky's Adventure will be sure to Enjoy the Colourful and Free-Spirited Journey that Lucky takes on His Quest to Recover the Pages for the Book of Ages. Fans Familiar with the Series may want to Consider Waiting for a Sale but will be Pleasantly Surprised with what Is In Store. The Ending will also be a Fun Surprise!

Hope We will get to Continue Our Adventures with Lucky In a Sequel!

To make it short, an absolutely charming and awesome platformer true to the best traditions. Honestly, can’t really think of anything you could make better here. Scenarios vary a lot, whatever you can think of, be it 2D, 3D, puzzle-sections, runner levels, arenas and whatnot. Great quality in animations, voice-overs and music, innovative ideas and characters all around. You can literally feel all the love that was put into this game, no kidding. Difficulty also is very forgiving and more on the casual side (but still engaging enough to keep your attention, probably even good for children with a little experience). That said, I admit the game isn’t really that long if you’re rushing through it (only 6 worlds with 4-5 main levels mostly), but if you’re going for completion the time stamp is just ideal in my opinion. So, enough said, big recommendation from me, definitely one of the must-plays for every 3D platformer lover with a knack for the old stuff, at least I enjoyed every minute of it.

It ain't every day that you get to see an overhaul of a game being sold as a new release (especially one that bundles the previous version of itself as mandatory), and it also ain't every day that that overhauled release ends up being worth it.

New Super Lucky's Tale (with the emphasis on "New") addresses pretty much every shortcoming its original version released with. The game is optimized now, and no longer hitches every odd minute. The worlds and antagonists have had a lot of work put into them to give them much-needed personality and liveliness. A lot of filler content is cut, and the remaining levels are refined to make full use of the newly-added free camera control. The cosmetics have had their prices rebalanced to be more reasonable and fun to acquire, and the overal story feels a lot more cohesive with DLC in it as an integral part, rather than an afterthought.

Overall, the whole experience is way more enjoyable now, even if you have already played through the older version of the game. The game went from passable to recommendable, albeit still very simplistic and uninventive. But sometimes you don't want to be dazzled by new ideas. Sometimes all you want is a lightweight, easy to jump-in, polished platformer, and NSLT fits that like a glove.

Whoever added No Hit achievements and no Restart Level button is going to hell

I'm glad more 3D platformers are making their way to PC.

I played this version of NSLT on the Switch and it was a ton of fun. It looks so smooth here on PC with an unlocked framerate.

If you're a fan of the recent Spyro, Crash and Spongebob releases, Lucky's Tale is definitely highly recommended.

So, best thing to look forward to with this game is the furry fan art of Lucky’s sister.

This is probably the closest we’ll ever get to a Tails spin-off game.

It’s a platformer game with a Fox, I was sold from the start.

I played Super Lucky’s Tale on PC and it was a charming as hell experience. I’m very happy that it got an updated version that helped improve the game flow. The new one is essentially SLT 2.0. At it's core, it's the same game but with a ton of changes to make it better.

Basically the same as the Ori and the Blind forest releases.

To me, a great game is one that has deep exploration of the gameplay mechanics. And every moment of this game is a good solid/fun challenge. The worst games are those that are just walk from point A to B and press a button. It's not the destination that's interesting, it's the journey itself, and that's why this game is so great.

On top of that, there is beautiful art, an engaging story, and hilarious characters full of personality to contextualize the gameplay and elevate this game to a level of greatness beyond other 3D platformers. This is the true successor to Banjo-Kazooie. This studio actually understands what made that game great and elevates those elements further, while cutting out the stuff that made BK not so good.

It's so frustrating to hear when people say 3D platformers are out-dated and point to Yooka-Laylee as an example. No they are outdated, Yooka-Laylee is just not a well designed game.

A lot of people slept on this one. Hopefully word of mouth spreads. I think nowadays games that are targeted to a younger audience have a harder time selling. They still have put out a very polished product but they are competing against legacy ip like the nintendo stuff, cheap mobile games targeted to children, and a lot of gamer's perception that these type of games are only for kids. It's a shame to see.

Good 3D platformers will never be outdated!

10/10
