The series has also received praise for its diverse gameplay styles. Matt Helgeson of ''[[Game Informer]]'' noted that the "series was driven by a restless sense of innovation," praising "Naughty Dog's work in this franchise [for creating] great characters, finely tuned gameplay, and a unceasing inventiveness".<ref name="Jak and Daxter Review">{{cite web|url=https://www.gameinformer.com/games/jak_and_daxter_collection/b/ps3/archive/2012/02/07/jak-and-daxter-collection-updates-a-classic-ps2-trilogy.aspx|title=Jak and Daxter Review|publisher=GameInformer|access-date=January 5, 2012|archive-date=February 10, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120210071110/http://www.gameinformer.com/games/jak_and_daxter_collection/b/ps3/archive/2012/02/07/jak-and-daxter-collection-updates-a-classic-ps2-trilogy.aspx|url-status=live}}</ref> Helgeson also declared that the ''Jak'' games "stand up as epic adventures".<ref name="Jak and Daxter Review"/> Matulef further stated that "the ''Jak and Daxter'' series remains a fascinating document of the evolution of the action adventure; its heroes are unstuck in time, without a genre to call home. No series has been so willing to switch gameplay styles with such reckless abandon, and ''The Jak and Daxter Trilogy'' represents a shining example of what happens when a capable developer takes a huge risk."<ref name="Jak and Daxter Trilogy Review"/> ''[[GameSpot]]'' stated that the franchise's "tight execution and heavy action elements ensure that things never become dull," adding that the franchise "manages to provide a rewarding gameplay experience that shouldn't be missed".<ref>{{cite web |last=Satterfield |first=Shane |url=http://uk.gamespot.com/jak-and-daxter-the-precursor-legacy/reviews/jak-and-daxter-the-precursor-legacy-review-2829768/?page=2 |title=Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy Review, Page 2 - GameSpot.com |publisher=Uk.gamespot.com |date=December 7, 2001 |access-date=March 4, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120426165647/http://uk.gamespot.com/jak-and-daxter-the-precursor-legacy/reviews/jak-and-daxter-the-precursor-legacy-review-2829768/?page=2 |archive-date=April 26, 2012 |df=mdy-all }}</ref>
