New Super Lucky's Tale

It's a delightful, jolly, collectathon platformer, and if it keeps your kids off Fortnite for a day or two then you can't say fairer than that.

New Super Lucky's Tale is a solid port of an underrated platformer with a greatly improved camera. It's a little on the short side and may not provide much of a challenge to more hardened gamers – and if you already own it on Xbox One there really isn't enough new here to warrant a second purchase – but what makes it worth a look is its uncanny ability to make you smile, and this is something that can't be overlooked, especially in modern times.

New Super Lucky’s Tale is an adventure game that can easily add some color to your summer vacation.

New Super Lucky's Tale on PlayStation 5 is a charming, polished and technically a remaster of the original game that benefits greatly from the console's capabilities. It may not offer surprises for those familiar with earlier versions but it delivers an uber‑fun gaming experience that is sorely needed

New Super Lucky’s Tale remains a charming and accessible 3D platformer full of colorful worlds and simple fun. However, the PS5 version feels like a missed opportunity due to its lack of meaningful DualSense features and limited technical improvements.

New Super Lucky's Tale is a good and pleasant return to the past, presenting itself as a solid and enjoyable platformer, but which remains trapped in its own nostalgia.

Though the game has clearly been made on a relatively shoestring budget, it still manages to ooze a happy go lucky charm all the same that feels increasingly rare in these fraught times. New Super Lucky's Tale might lack truly innovative gameplay elements or any new features beyond its PS4 counterpart, but the fact that there are still so few bonafide 3D platformers doing the rounds means that New Super Lucky's Tale still earns itself an easy recommendation for fans of the genre and proves itself as an ample and captivating post Astro Bot fix.

The PS5 version of New Super Lucky's Tale is its best console port yet.
