Daxter Was A Great PSP Platformer
And Brought All The Best Elements Of The Jak & Daxter Series To Sony’s Portable Console
When Ready At Dawn’s portable spinoff of Naughty Dog’sJak And Daxterseries launched in 2006, it wasextremely highly praised by critics and fans alike, being called one of the best platformers on the PSP, and it currently boasts aMetacriticscore of 85 and a similar user score of 8.4.Daxterwas marketed as a “pure platformer” by its developers prior to its release, and features satisfying traversal mechanics to ensure players get from point A to point B using Daxter’s agility, environmental items such as trampolines, vehicles, and more to move around the game world’s map.
Daxtertakes place in the final months of the two-year gap between thePS2’sJak and Daxter: The Precursor LegacyandJak 2, and handily recaps the moment in which Jak is taken prisoner by the Krimzon Guard before jumping forward almost two years to show Daxter, a former human turned ottsel - which stands for half-otter, half-weasel - at a point where he has given up hope regarding the rescue of his friend. After working as an exterminator, Daxter finally gets a lead on Jak’s whereabouts and from there, players embark on a thrilling adventure to infiltrate Haven City and break Jak out of prison.
