I'm not gonna rag on this being a very simple game. It's a game catered to kids, so I shouldn't get too mad at the simple stories and plot beats.

What's frustrating about the game is that it has a really good premise, but it just does NOTHING with it that's interesting. All the puzzles about swapping words and flipping the book pages had a ton of potential, but it did nothing interesting with those ideas beyond just introducing them. The 3D stages were also a bit disappointing, with only one stage being unique. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I left this game feeling kinda disappointed, and feeling like it could've done so much more.

Cool final boss tho, prob the best part of the game.

5/10

The Plucky Squire is a colorful, eternally slow movie that likes to mistake itself as a game, since sometimes you have to whack some enemies and jump on a few platforms.
"Gameplay" is absurdly repetitive and limited but you don't exactly mind since there's a painfully long dialogue or cutscene every five f*cking seconds.
This thing is so slow I dropped it twice mid run, decided to finish it and fast forwarded all the story cause I couldn't care for it anymore, I wanted to play a game but I was literally stopped from doing anything every ten steps cause there was a three minutes dialogue or an awfully long cutscene.
Also, there's no skipping dialogues and cutscenes, you just have to bear with the animations and the fast forward button is not really fast anyway.
I finally managed to finish this f*cking thing and I immediately uninstalled it cause I don't want to see it in my library ever again.
It's a shame cause the concept is nice, the thing is colorful and the art is cute and humorous but the experience is too painful to let me recommend it to anyone.

I hate giving Plucky Squire a negative review because it's clearly been built with an incredible amount of care and artistry, but this is a game built for young children. It's very linear and simple, with a boiler plate story. None of its elements are bad, but unless you're buying it for your little ones I don't think it's going to hold your attention. I got 2 hours in over multiple play sessions and I was really stretching the limits of my hospitality for this one.
