LIFTED succeeds not because it reinvents the genre, but because it executes its ideas with confidence and charm. The endearing cast and entertaining dialogue combine with surprisingly challenging-yet-engaging level design to create a truly memorable experience. While it may not be the most ambitious or groundbreaking platformer on the market, it doesn’t need to be. LIFTED knows exactly what it wants to be, and it accomplishes that goal with style, humor, and a lot of heart.

There are a few annoyances here and there – most of them centred around the use of a hook you’ll be called on to cross some larger gaps – but nothing that comes anywhere close to being a dealbreaker. It’s just that the rest of Lifted is so well done that I can’t help but wish it was a complete package. Still, it comes close enough to achieving that level that it’s hard to complain too much. If you’re a fan of 2.5D platformers, you’d do well to check it out.

Lifted is a special little game that manages to effortlessly charm despite its imperfections. It’s a throwback to classic platforming I didn’t know I was needing, all the while being the Back to the Future sequel I know I have dreamed about for decades. I hope it’s not the last we see of Ari Buktu, and I’ll happily board his time-travelling elevator again—anytime.

Despite technical flaws that can be slightly annoying, LIFTED still stands as an enjoyable adventure if you have a little patience to overlook its collision issues. The fast pace and easy navigation make up for the execution errors. In the end, the game delivers a great, fun entry point into the world of video games, making it a solid recommendation, especially for a younger audience.

Lifted is a bombastic platformer full of action scenes and witty one liners, but if you're used to the genre you'll likely find it rather basic.

LIFTED captures the charm of classic family platformers with enjoyable traversal, clever puzzles, and exciting chase sequences, but its predictable story and relentlessly quippy dialogue keep it from reaching the same heights as its gameplay.

Lifted is a game that is full of heart and charm, and it looks and sounds like it. Unfortunately, that heart and charm are buried in a generic action-adventure story spread across overly simplistic gameplay that doesn’t really do enough for long enough to become anything other than just okay. It’s a perfectly okay six-hour experience that is easily accessible and family-friendly, and I guarantee that for that reason, it’s going to have an audience that grapples their way into this experience and never let go, but there’s simply not enough here to recommend this game.

With *LIFTED*, Adventure Works has crafted a love letter to the family-friendly adventure movies of the 80s—an influence openly embraced through references to *Indiana Jones* and *Back to the Future*. The studio prioritizes storytelling above all else, even over gameplay mechanics, which remain intentionally safe and at times overly familiar. Yet, it would be unfair to judge *LIFTED* solely on this point: its direction, pacing, and central duo carry just as much weight as its shortcomings. Players seeking a technical, demanding platformer may find themselves wanting more. Others, however, will experience *LIFTED* much like a trip to the movies to see a great film, walking away with a smile on their faces. ****/article/test-lifted-une-aventure-familiale-qui-prefere-raconter-une-histoire-que-repousser-les-limites-du-jeu-video
