Weirdly enough, this the Jak that I ended up enjoying the most. It probably had a lot to do with the fact that the tasks were a lot less repetitive and annoying and Daxter stayed quiet for a significantly longer while, but other than that, I think the one thing that made me like this game was that it didn't feel like it was trying to pad the length of the title with the same things, opting instead to do one-offs or the occasional repeat of a specific minigame. As a result, I was able to enjoy the story a lot more and wasn't that bothered by the antics of me attempting to repeat a specific task for the 10th time in a row.

This breadth was also the thing that allowed me to appreciate what this trilogy has always had since the beginning, which is a very refined sense of movement. The act itself of moving around these maps always felt nice, especially when it's not burdened by the knowledge that you're stuck with a certain quest or mission, and it's a shame that it required three titles for me to finally see it.
