Played on my Series X.
A very solid platformer that I had a lot of fun working my way through. It's incredibly easy but sometimes it's nice to kick back and turn my brain off once in a while. It's a great introduction to the genre for kids, no doubt. Much like Spyro it's very satisfying to run through a level and collect all there is to collect in one go. But with that in mind, Lucky's Tale doesn't offer much in terms of its own identity; really it feels like an amalgamation of all the platformers I grew up playing. There's a little of everything here: Mario, Banjo-Kazooie, Donkey Kong, Crash, and the aforementioned Spyro. Lucky wears its inspirations on its sleeve, almost to a fault. It's not very original, but it's still a good time.
