VGChartz’s Lee Mehr: “It speaks well to The Plucky Squire overall that in spite of several rookie team mistakes the potency of its core conceit remains so engaging. There’s something genuinely exciting about altering the state of one’s world through words or a different perspective. Each new tweak on the reality-shifting formula builds up to a rather surprising and endearing final act. But upon reaching that point of greater player expression, it’s hard not to question the flawed mentality to get there. Was the occasional diversion to a lackluster mini-game worth it? Could there have been greater flexibility in its earlier puzzle-solving or combat? Why not give combat more of a bite? While interrogating occasional missteps makes me see the unused potential of these systems, Jot’s journey still remains a charming page-turner that’s tough to put down.”
