A CHILDHOOD DREAM COME TRUE!!

Usually I don't write reviews (actually, this is the first one for the Oculus...) But it will be a"crime" no to do it on this occasion... If you are an "OLD dinosaur gamer" like myself, you will fall in 💜 with this amazing game. It's a combination of Crash bandicoot, Bubsy, Super Mario Rayman, and Spyro wrapped in a VR atmosphere... The only"bad" thing I can write about is the difficulty ( could be a little bit harder from my point of view) and that the game is a little bit too short... Besides that , everything is PERFECT!! I had the time of my life playing it... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!💪🤙🎮

A matter of taste and expectations

I generally prefer giving 5 stars and writing nice reviews in general, and have thought about whether to be nice about “Lucky” and his developers, who will have put some hard work and care into the game. Alas, what appeared as a fun and well produced platformer at first (the Quest 2 doesn’t have a lot of those, unfortunately) turned into a repetitive, uninventive and frustrating game for me after a while. “Lucky” isn’t the absolutely incomparable, polished, creative, wondrous “Astro Bot”, nor likely could be in terms of investment and budget. However, small loving details would’ve helped; instead, the levels are all very samey without surprised or novelties. They feel lacklustre very quick. Worst of all - other reviewers have also mentioned this - is the (to me) kinda unlikely “naughty” boy character of Lucky the fox. He talks and vocalises constantly, in a way reminiscent of the sort of boy that’s Dennis the Menace or Kevin from Home Alone. It’s so repetitive and annoying and at some point you just don’t want to hear these constant reactions anymore with every jump, look, hesitation etc. I will assume the developers meant well, but divisive character portrayals that are voice acted a bit too cheeky or cocky can get on your nerves if thats a character trait you dislike. Nothing else is worth mentioning either; some challenges and jumps are needlessly difficult, others are far too easy. There is no real profession in the game in many levels. This feels like a very polished INDIE platformer by comparison. Perhaps one should expect more. Kids with low expectations will probably love the game and it’s environments for lack of better option. It’s been a fail for me and a waste of money, but if you’re not particularly fussed and just want to jump around and onto enemies in a colourful environment, then give it a try.

Charming VR Platformer

I’m a man in his 40s,I grew up in a time where platformers were easily the most popular games in existence. This genre will forever have a special place in my heart as they played a huge role in my childhood. Mario,Sonic,Earthworm Jim,Ratchet & Clank,Donkey Kong Country,Crash Bandicoot,etc were like magic as a kid. Lucky’s Tale is no different,it offers nostalgia in a more modern format. My first headset was PSVR1 and Astro Bot:Rescue Mission was one of the best games on PSVR1. Astro Bot is what shown me platformers can still be great in VR. The devs done a fantastic job bringing this to VR. if you are a fan of classic platformers,stop reading the reviews and go ahead and buy this gem

Wonderful Game

One of the best games I've played on my Quest 3. Very immersive, and fun. Great graphics and so cute! It's so refreshing to not have to kill zombies or watch blood splatters. Fun for the whole family and Dad as well. Highly recommend. Can't wait till Max Mustard is released. Will be looking for other games from this author.

Get into the TV

Well, this game made me feel like i was playing Super NES back in the days, and suddenly, a good fairy made me enter the screen. Out of the blue, i'm no more watching, but a part of the scenary. Great characters, good gameplay. Takes a little time to adapt to the dizziness of camera's moves, but then, it's all pleasure !
