Another handheld followup to the Jak and Daxter series that - unlike Daxter - attempts to be a full sequel and evolve the formula with middling results.

The game is not open-world and missions are in a specific sequence. The setting is far removed from the areas in the previous games and very few characters recur. Gameplay does feature platforming and gunplay similar to what came before, but Jak’s moveset has been substantially changed. There’s more of an emphasis on combat then before but the aim-assist that enabled fast-paced run-and-gun gameplay in the previous games is missing.
