Mechanics

Super Lucky’s Tale for PC and XONE is a 3D platform game. Playful Corporation combined all useful elements from other games of the genere and implemented them here. Thus, gameplay focuses on exploration of various locations like bug village or crocodile swamp. Lucky is an agile fox that can jump, move objects from one place to another, climb, and dig in the ground. We use his abilities to move around the game’s locations, bypass obstacles, solve simple riddles, and collect gold coins.

Action is presented from third-person perspective, but the game offers a special side-scrolling level with challenges where our adventures are presented like in old-school platform games.

Technical Aspects

Super Lucky’s Tale for PC and XONE has colourful, eye-pleasing visuals and is one of the Xbox One X Enhanced games. It means that the owners of Mircosoft’s more powerful consoles will have slightly nicer visuals in 4k.
