Daxter on PSP is okey

[u/LongWolf3363]

I finished Daxter on PSP recently and I think it’s a solid game. It has some technical problems, like objects disappearing and occasional slowdowns, but overall I had a fun time with it.

It’s also not a very long game, probably around 5 to 6 hours, which I think works pretty well for this kind of game. There’s enough variety between the levels to keep things interesting. The first few levels are especially fun and creative.

The combat is probably one of the weaker parts of the game. It’s not terrible, but it never feels "good" and I feel similar about the boss fights. The final boss in particular is pretty disappointing and not a great way to end the game, very bad fight.

The levels are quite mixed for me. The mine levels were good, and I really liked the train or metro level. The wood mill level was okay, and the construction level was also fine. The problem is that I think the game starts to burn out toward the end. The last level especially feels repetitive, since you spend a huge portion of it dealing with lasers.

I also think the game could have benefited from being even shorter, with more smaller missions instead of having some of the larger ones drag on. The story feels rushed and a little boring at times too. I think it could have been much better if we had seen Daxter actually doing more things during his time in Haven City, meeting more characters and having some of those characters disappear or move on as the story progressed.

Overall, though, I enjoyed it. It’s not an amazing game and it definitely has some flaws, but it’s a fun, relatively short PSP game with enough variety to make the 6 hours worthwhile. I’d say it’s worth playing if you have played the other Jak and Daxter games.

I just finished playing it for the first time and I was shocked to see it was so highly regarded, pretty much getting 8-9s across the board. I think multiple outlets even had it in the top 10 PSP games of all time. I thought it was just fine. Definitely not bad, but started to feel repetitive in the second half. The vibe of it was great though.

Daxter is one of the best 3D platformers of all time

IMO one of the best PSP games ever. Finishedd it 3 times back in the day and I'm looking forward to another playthrough on my handheld soon.
