Obviously, New Super Lucky’s Tale isn’t about to displace Mario when it comes to being the best 3D platformer the Switch has to offer — but with no word of exaggeration, I wouldn’t put this one too far behind it, either.
New Super Lucky's Tale is a charming and well done platformer. The number of moves you have may seem limited, since you learn nothing else in your journey, but the game does a good job of making sure you use all of the moves all of the time. The colorful look is aided by the general charm of the characters to create an experience where you're constantly grinning. It may be easy for genre veterans, and the load times can be annoying, but the short runtime ensures that the game doesn't overstay its welcome.

Great game. He is so cute! I've never been good at platformers so it's just right for me.

Bought this to my 5 years old kid, she loves it!! The graphic is good, music is soothing, the only shortcoming is loading might be slightly long.

New Super Lucky's Tale is a delight to play, and I strongly encourage young and old alike to give it a try. Just make sure you are patient with loading screens...
New Super Lucky’s Tale is an extremely polished director’s cut of a solid 3D platformer. I loved seeing its final incarnation finally see the light of day. I am glad more people can experience it now, but I do wish Playful would update the other versions, and perhaps even bring it to PS4 to complete the circle. Still, Switch owners looking for a solid, albeit simple platformer have yet another title worth checking out.
New Super Lucky’s Tale is a great platform video game inspired by the most classic titles of the genre, with an artistic section full of color, a fun gameplay and a story interesting enough to encourage us to continue enjoying this adventure.
With tight controls and a good amount of entertaining content for completionists, New Super Lucky’s Tale justifies its $39.99 launch price for genre enthusiasts. But uneven level design holds this adventure back from true greatness. Check out the demo to get a feel for it.
Though it packs plenty of charm and heart, New Super Lucky’s Tale isn't quite ready to be in the leagues of the platforming greats just yet.
This game is a charming, gorgeous, and overall fun platformer with a surprising amount of variety. It is both relaxing and engaging to play. A feat which very few games are able to achieve.
I am not in the camp of those who complain about this game's difficulty level as I don't mind having a few games in my catalogue which are light-hearted and don't demand too much from me.
New Super Lucky's Tale is seamless fit for the Nintendo Switch. My only complaint would be if Playful Studios never makes a sequel...

It's an enjoyable game but it's kinda short and some of the levels are irritating. But I had a lot of fun with it, good time waster

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.

Solid platformer if you're itching for that scratch, but it isn't one that anyone will be able to look fondly back in the future.

I loved this game for the first 3 hours I played. The characters are charming, the worlds are beautiful, but then it came time I wanted to play a different game for a little bit. I didn’t see a way to save so I assumed it autosaved, it being a game that’s over 6 hours to play I thought it was a safe assumption. But no when I loaded the game back up I was back at world one with just the clovers I got form beating the tutorial. I didn’t know if this was a glitch or I just closed the game at a game time so I replayed the game and even got the second to last world. Then I spent a bit trying to make sure it would save. I exited though the main menu option and loaded it up again and all seemed well. Then I closed the software to open another game. When I went back to finish the game I was back at the beginning again!!!! I can beat the game in one sitting but at this point, I don’t want too!!!! The last 2 worlds aren’t worth going though the majority of the game for a 3rd time. I wanted to complete this game, but what’s the point if all my data will just be deleted again? It really ruined the game for me.
