A delightful, playground platformer for all ages that follows Lucky, the ever-optimistic, energetic, and lovable hero, on his quest to find his inner strength and help his sister rescue the Book of Ages from Jinx. Jinx is the scheming and mysterious villain trying to reshape the world, but for what reason?

NOTE: For a full retrospective, look at my New Super review-2019 or 2020, it does not really matter. Within this review, I disclaim to know Playful Studios, its members, nor its collaborators. This is from someone who enjoyed the series very much and with awareness that its quality should not be taken seriously unless certain aspects warrant it. Context: ㅤㅤIt just so happens that there was a Microsoft contract...

El platino es jodidamente cansador ya que te obliga a repetir niveles que te den muchas monedas para conseguir las 999 monedas que te pide el logro "I'm a Completionist" y creo que el "VAMOS!!" de Lucky me va a perseguir en mis sueños durante un largo tiempo. Si solamente quieres pasarte la historia es muy buen juego y lo recomiendo pero mejor no meterse en su platino D:
Okay, yes, this is EXACTLY what I needed to take the edge off of... you know, EVERYTHING these days. A cutesy, colorful, child-friendly, happy platformer, with a story straight out of those cutesy family adventure movies, and really solid platforming and fun exploration to boot. In Super Lucky's Tale, you play as this adorable little fox boy, the titular Lucky, trying to find his way back home after he got trapped...
