New Super Lucky's Tale may not break new ground but it's an excellent example of a modern platformer, familiarity and all.

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 as it plays and looks like a dream.

A good and enjoyable adventure that missed the chance to be improved.

A fun game with some updates that make it feel incredibly smooth compared to the original version. Light on the challenge, but large on character, the game is still worth playing.

There’s more than enough content here to keep younger gamers busy and even older gamers nostalgic for the genre will enjoy what’s on offer. The caveat being that the game has no difficulty settings and more seasoned gamers might find it a touch easy. But I feel the game is enjoyable enough to not notice how easy the game is and just soak up all the platforming goodness being thrown your way. There’s outfits to buy, secret stages to find and a reasonable amount of collectibles that don’t feel overwhelming or are difficult to attain.It’s been on Switch since November last year, but just launched...

New Super Lucky’s Tale is a game that probably doesn’t need to exist, all things considered. But I’m very glad it does; the changes made to this version make it even better than it was the first time round. It remains one of the most wholesome and enjoyable 3D platform games of recent years, and I just hope we get more of Lucky’s adventures in the future.

New Super Lucky's Tale is a 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.

A swathe of meaningful updates alongside a healthy dose of content transforms a once-average platformer into something that can almost stand with the best in the business

Sep 21, 2020

We tell you, it’s a good game! It’s not average! It might have some problems here and there, but you have to admit it is a “Good” game.

New Super Lucky's Tale isn't the most unique 3D platformer in the world, but younger gamers will find enough variety to keep them smiling

Mar 23, 2026

Visually, New Super Lucky’s Tale feels like a colorful and whimsical children’s book brought to life. The side-characters are all wacky and cartoonish, while the fantasy-based environments have a squeaky-clean feeling to them. The music is catchy and fitting for each stage, and further adds to the game’s light sense of adventure.
