The PlayStation 2 and GameCube era of gaming was heavily dominated by 3D platformers like Sly Cooper, Jak and Daxter, Super Mario Sunshine, and more. One 3D action-adventure platformer series that often gets forgotten compared to the rest is the Tak series.

These games were set in a fantasy world filled with magical shamans, whimsical creatures, and “Juju” who were essentially gods. The player controlled Tak as they traversed a fantastical, cartoony, and often-silly land, battled creepy monsters, and solved tricky puzzles.

There were ultimately four games total in the series. They included Tak and the Power of Juju, which follows Tak as he learns Juju powers to defeat the evil shaman known as Tlaloc who sought to transform the people of Tak’s village into sheep, Tak 2: The Staff of Dreams, which finds Tak trapped in the Dream World following the events of the first game and must go on an adventure through this mysterious realm to find a way to escape, Tak: The Great Juju Challenge, which paired Tak with his pal Lok to compete in a series of challenges against other teams with the fate of the world on the line, and Tak and the Guardians of Gross, which had Tak accidentally destroy a gem and free beasts that were housed within, sending him on a quest to stop them.

This video game series was popular enough that it was adapted into an animated series on Nickelodeon. While the TV show wasn’t very well received, the games were a lot of fun. They had intriguing stories for each adventure, memorable characters, and entertaining gameplay. The platforming felt fluid, the puzzles well thought-out, and the combat was suspenseful. It’s also worth noting that the voice acting was tremendous, with the likes of Jason Marsden and Patrick Warburton bringing their talent to the characters.

It all makes one wonder whatever happened to the series. The TV series didn’t receive the viewership numbers Nickelodeon wanted, but is that enough to affect production of the video games? Perhaps the last game or two didn’t sell as well, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that a new installment or a remastered collection would sell poorly if it was made well.

They did have a good run, though. It was a truly fun series of games and had a handful of installments. What’s really sad about it, though, is that no one talks about them. They’ve become forgotten as time has passed. Even Bubsy is making a comeback, but there’s no conversation around the Tak games.

Hopefully people realize that they’re worth remembering and revisiting from time to time. They still hold up pretty well and can lead to a really fun time.
