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.
