This game seemed very promising awhile back when I first heard about it. Seen the trailers and gameplay, it seemed like it would be Xbox's 3D Mario, which would be great!--as Nintendo seems to be totally against allowing Mario games on any other platforms besides their own.

Upon playing this, it was fun at first but was quite frustrating.
First of all, it just isn't fun to play. You move at a very slow speed with very weak jumps, and unfortunately there is no mouse support for directing the camera at all.

Second, some levels are just straight up unfinished or partly broken. If I recall correctly, some levels required for you to collect X amount of coins for a collectible--however, said level was 10 coins short for achieving this. I needed to find a workaround that had me die on purpose just to gain this.

And if you like to finish a game, regarding achievements. Then you're not gonna like that the game has one achievement that requires you to have 99,999 coins. Coins may be everywhere, but as I said, your character is so slow and it would take me about 700 coins for every 5-7 minutes just to get closer to this achievement's goal.

I don't even understand as to why this game is listed on Steam... I thought Super Lucky's Tale and New Super Lucky's Tale were two entirely different games... but sadly, New Super Lucky's Tale is basically this game but as a finished product.
Do not purchase this game.
