Super Lucky's Tale Review | GameSpot

It's easy to imagine how Super Lucky's Tale would be the highlight of a younger kid's weekend, but it has little to offer anyone looking for an enjoyably challenging 3D platformer.

6/10? I guess Lucky aint so, lucky.... >_>

generic-user-name2416d ago

Watch as this game doesn't become a joke like Knack did.

conanlifts2416d ago (Edited 2416d ago )

It a scoring in line with knack 2, knack sat at 54 on meta. As for being a joke, most of the bias on this site is more in favour of sony, though it is to be expected as more people own a ps4.

Godmars2902416d ago

More than likely since it was never hinted at showing the XBX's capabilities, was only ever a title to be a title, it'll be forgotten.

Prince-Ali2416d ago

yet was still hyped to hell and back by the xbox community.. sooo...?

Prince-Ali2416d ago

oh 10000% and that's what annoying but people will still deny the bias lol ¬_¬

Godmars2902416d ago

"yet was still hyped to hell and back by the xbox community.. sooo...?"

Sooo...What? You really think there's going to be followup stories about how many millions of copies this game has sold?

NotanotherReboot2416d ago

Do you take personal offence when people rip on Knack 2?

generic-user-name2416d ago

No, I've never played the game. I just find it interesting to see how 2 mediocre platformers get treated.

Yeah, this game looked very bland and uninspiring... I would have rather ms done a different platformer in their wheelhouse...

If quantum break, recore, and sunset overdrive sold poorly, I don't see this title being that successful

DarXyde2416d ago

GameSpot is kind of a stickler reviewer though. It could quite possibly do better with other review outlets (though I suppose it *is* possible that it can also do worse).

That being said, they are trying something different from what people often give them grief for (Halo, Forza, Gears). Even if the game ends up being treated as unanimously mediocre, at least it's a matter of branching out a little bit. I never took much interest in this game at all, but, again, it's something different.

bluefox7552416d ago

It's at 66 on metacritic, so GS was pretty close to others.

DarXyde2416d ago

True, but that's out of 18 critics.

It could either pull towards 60 or 70 at this point since there are plenty of outlets out there that have yet to have their reviews aggregated. A 70 would put it in the "good" range. I'm not expecting much change in the range, but yeah, it'll either end up being upper-tier mediocre or low-tier good.

At least it's better than bad.

yellowgerbil2416d ago

Man I'm so jealous of this game, oh well I guess I got to settle for Ghost of Tsushima, TLOU2, and Spiderman... Sucks to be a playstation gamer :(

Prince_TFK2415d ago

Except that Xbox owners also have other games to look forward to as well.

yellowgerbil2415d ago

you keep telling yourself that :D enjoy your broken promise "power of the cloud" empty sandbox game and your sea of thieves that has already been one uped twice before it even launches first with Ubisofts Skull and Bones, now with Playstation VRs Bow to Blood.
Sooooo what else you got? because playstation has
TLOU2, Spiderman, Detroit, Ghost of Tsushima, Days Gone, Dreams, Concrete Genie, Shadow of the Colossus, and that isn't even getting into all the niche exclusives and VR stuff

Super Lucky’s Tale Is Better On The Switch, But Also Worse

Following his debut in Oculus Rift launch game Lucky’s Tale, adorable fox hero Lucky gave traditional platforming action a try in Super Lucky’s Tale for the Xbox One and PC. New Super Lucky’s Tale for the Nintendo Switch is an enhanced version of Super Lucky’s Tale, with new and remixed levels, story cinematics, and a fully-rotatable 3D camera. It also adds frequent framerate drops and a ridiculous amount of loading.

NecrumOddBoy1681d ago

"Better On The Switch" 🤔 This is such an overused hyperbole.

Positivelypositive 1681d ago

I personally didn't enjoy how quickly levels were locked behind collecting the coins from the past levels. Sure this feature has become a thing but honestly its a turn off. Mario did it and imo its one of the changes they made that was a bad choice. They got it really right in the first new super mario bros and even galaxy. Don't gate keep. Reward!

Celebrated 3D Platformer Super Lucky's Tale Possibly Coming To Switch

After receiving favourable feedback on Steam last September when the game released on Steam, Playful might be bringing their celebrated 3D Platformer Super Lucky's Tale to Switch this year.

Celebrated? Lmao barely anybody paid attention when this game came out, but now that there’s a possibility this game is getting ported it’s suddenly a “celebrated” title

DaDrunkenJester1993d ago

While I agree it's not celebrated or even a top tier platformer. I did enjoy playing it with my daughter, it was simple enough for her to understand, but had slight difficulty spikes that allowed me to play and help her out. I'd like to see a sequel because it does have potential to be a great 3d platformer.

foster4261993d ago

Why would someone downvote this? This comment section is crazy.

Razzer1993d ago

"Why would someone downvote this? This comment section is crazy."

Anonymous upvotes/downvotes are not comments. I have no idea why people like you are more interested with how people vote over what people say. That's whats really crazy.

foster4261993d ago

"People like you".

Fuck you, you fucking bitch. good job generalizing and putting me in a god damn motherfucking bubble you fucking BITCH

Razzer1993d ago (Edited 1993d ago )

People whining about votes is a common occurrence on n4g and yes, you obviously fit that characterization. The guy had only two downvotes at the time, but you couldn't help bitching about it. So yeah....you pretty much put yourself in that bubble all by yourself.

And I'm not generalizing anything. I called out people, like you, who bitch about votes. That is rather specific, not general at all. You, on the other hand, called the comment section "crazy". That was a generalization. Suggest you learn the difference and try not to refer to others as "crazy" before dropping a bunch of unnecessary F-bombs. lol

Sono4211993d ago

Lmao I thought the same thing, even reviews across the board gave it terrible scores, did the developers pay the writer to say this or what?

Neonridr1993d ago

64 isn't terrible. In fact it's one more than the Order 1886 scored. Just to put that into perspective.

-Foxtrot1993d ago

What’s the Order got to do with this or is that just an obvious dig at Sony you had to do

Razzer1993d ago

"64 isn't terrible. In fact it's one more than the Order 1886 scored."

Why are you comparing two "terrible" games as if that proves anything? Oh......cuz Sony?

Neonridr1992d ago

@Foxtrot - because it was widely known here that the Order wasn't that bad and all that stuff. Regardless of what the score indicated. Metacritic doesn't mean everything.

maximumspidey1993d ago

i mean it did pretty well for itself

Vits1993d ago

While Minecraft exists and demonstrates that Microsoft is interested in having some of its games on more platforms, so far no other game published by them has received such treatment. So having Super Lucky's Tale being ported is rather surprising.

Sciurus_vulgaris1993d ago

The Lucky’s Tale IP is not owned by Microsoft

Vits1993d ago

Yes, but they are still the publisher. And normally exclusivity is part of the deal with this sort of release and even more after all the promotion that Microsoft invested in this game.

Sm00thNinja1993d ago

Microsoft also published Rise of the Tomb Raider on their platform?

FullmetalRoyale1993d ago

Minecraft was on every platform before MS bought them. I’m not sure that it’s the best way to prove your point. I do agree that Microsoft wants to make money(as every company does. They seem to have the least pride about it, which can be a double edged sword.

EddieNX 1993d ago

Cool. It's not a Microsoft IP tho so calm down.

IamTylerDurden11993d ago

The game was panned by critics and didn't sell a lick on XB1. In fact, the VR, console, and PC version all received poor reviews. I never understood why this subpar platformer continued to be pushed. It was never Celebrated. This PC release with favourable feedback is a 59 Metacritic, yes, a 59.
