While Daxter is smaller than Jak, Ready at Dawn smartly makes Daxter a worthy platforming protagonist, who is not only smaller but a bit more agile than his best friend.Īnd while both characters are stark contrasts in terms of height, the gameplay and level design perfectly accommodate Daxter's strengths and weaknesses. True to the Jak and Daxter formula before it, Daxter is a platformer that recaptures the charm and cleverness of the first game. A spinoff of Naughty Dog's Jak and Daxter series, Daxter focuses on the titular ottsel and his ventures shortly before the events of Jak II.
