As a kid I always wanted to play Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, but I never had a PS2 to play it on. Now as an adult, with my own control over what I spend my money on, I got myself a console and the game to play! Years later, it's funny to feel a nostalgia for a game that I never grew up on. But thats what I felt. The writing feels very 90's/2000's with smart ass remarks from Daxter and attitude from the Sages. The Precursor Legacy plays like many other 3D platformers of the time, but with its own individuality that today feels distinctly Naughty Dog. The controls were a bit janky at times, specifically the camera, and I wasn't always the clearest on hit boxes. But the game was fantastic and I'm glad I finally got the chance to hang with Jak and Daxter after all these years. Absolutely one of the classics and a must play.
