Super Lucky's Tale is a neat underappreciated platforming game that I actually love. The plot is Lucky, a fox, is sucked into the Book of Ages his older sister, Lyra, recovers when the evil cat Jinx and his children, the Kitty Litter, Lucky has to save the worlds inside the book from falling under the feline felons' control.

So, basically, this is your typical platforming game in the vein of classics like Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie, as Lucky has to collect clovers to progress. There are also coins and gems that add to Lucky's total money, which at first, served no purpose until the Guardian Trials DLC added a store where you can buy outfits for Lucky to wear (which sadly, does not add anything other than changing Lucky's looks).

For gameplay, Lucky has the basic running and jumping, is capable of attacking with his tail, and has the special ability to burrow underground. These moves will come in handy, as some stuff requires burrowing or tail whipping. The levels have four clovers each, each gotten by performing different tasks (completing a level, spelling L-U-C-K-Y, collecting coins, and a hidden page found by completing a puzzle or a timed challenge).

As for the hub world, don't expect a lot. The base game has only four worlds (with two more added as DLC), but thankfully, Playful made sure to add a lot of variety to the levels contained in them to keep them fresh. Some levels are left-to-right sidecrolling, while others have Lucky moving automatically. Also, the levels have some hidden puzzles that reward clovers, like the statue puzzle, where you have to guide fox statues to a good mark, using cat statues to block, and Tess' Marble Maze, where the aim is to guide Lucky, who is shrunken down and put in a marble, through a maze, collecting all the coins to open the exit. And each world has a boss that can be accessed after collecting a certain amount of clovers, and these won't be pushovers, as each one is harder than the last, and require different ways to damage them. It is a neat game that I hope gets a sequel.

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement. The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.

The adventure genre features exciting journeys, quests, or expeditions undertaken by characters who often face challenges, obstacles, and risks in pursuit of a goal. Adventures can take place in a wide range of settings, from exotic and fantastical locations to historical or even everyday environments.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.

Family-oriented content is designed to be enjoyed by both children and adults, often providing entertainment that is wholesome, relatable, and appropriate for all members of a family to watch or experience together.

Super Lucky's Tale follows Lucky, a curious and brave fox on a quest to find his inner strength and help his sister protect the Book of Ages, inside of which exist entire worlds and characters. The game's antagonist is a cat named Jinx, a mysterious villain who is trying to steal the Book of Ages for his own nefarious purposes. Along the way, Lucky encounters a supporting cast of friends and adversaries. Lucky must confront the Kitty Litter, Jinx's mischievous kids. Lucky also meets friends and allies along the way, including misplaced Yetis, Kookie Spookies, a village of farming worms, and other colorful characters, all of whom live inside the Book of Ages and who, without Lucky's help, will fall prey to Jinx and the Kitty Litter's evil machinations.
