New Super lucky’s Tale is an amazing platformer. The game looks great, it feels very responsive and the level design is awesome. I did enjoy this game so much and quickly played through the whole game. The first world is good but doesn’t shine yet, but from the second world, the game puts you in very creative level designs with funny tasks. Even a level where a very small part is a stealth section.

New Super Lucky’s Tale is has quite a lot of levels and each of them felt special and different enough. I had so much fun playing through the game. It reminded me back to the time we saw so many amazing 2d and 3d platformers from big companies, but this is one of the best ones!

None of the achievements are missable as you can go back to earlier levels. I would recommend getting as many coins in each level so you can buy the customs you need for an achievement easily without going back, but I got them like an hour before completing all the other achievements, so if there is a grind, it isn’t too bad.

In each level you can get 4 collectibles, I would recommend trying to get all 4 on your first try or if you missing some, to go back directly and get it. You don’t get any new moves or upgrades, so it will be the same difficulty later on and in that case, it is so much easier to get them all while you still remember the level from your first try.

There are some level specific achievements, but a lot of those you’ll unlock while playing through the game. I wouldn’t bother with a guide till later on when you’re still missing a few and can’t figure it out. A few of those are things like beating a specific boss or level section without getting hit. Those are the most challenging achievements in this game but are very doable with a few tries.
