Yooka-Laylee

SO, here's the scoop. Do you like original donkey kong? do you like banjo kazooie? Then buy this game, i bought this hoping to show my daughter that video games are fun and now she's hooked and loves them. this game is fun not just for the runts but I've been playing it with her and it's a good time, once you start playing it you instantly feel the old DK/Banjo days creep up in your memories and it's just a stroll down memory lane while playing something new and fresh, plus $40 for a new game ain't bad.

I backed this game on kickstarter 2 years ago, expecting for banjo threeie, and Yooka-Laylee delivered. If you were a fan of the old banjo games or even others platformers in the late 90's I guarantee you'll enjoy this.

This is a great game and worthy of being successor to Banjo-Kazooie. Don't listen to the negative reviews. Those people don't seem to realize BK was a one of a kind game and they will not see another that perfect again. I DO have a couple of issues with YL however. 1. I wish they would have made more levels instead of doing the level expansion thing. 2. Tone down the difficulty on some of these enemies and challenges. Some tasks and fights are unreasonably difficult. Had me screaming at the tv. I'm pretty sure my neighbors think I murdered my roommate. This is a kid's game, not Dark Souls. Tone it down. Oh and part of that difficulty is due to the controls feeling slippery during certain maneuvers or in certain transformations. That needs tweaking. Overall great game though. 4/5.

First off i'll say that there are spots in the game where the camera fights with you ,but it doesn't break the game. That's the only negative in my opinion. I've been having so much fun with this! The dialogue has been very funny and the challenges have actually made my brain think which is rare in todays games. Music is catchy and sticks with you all day. Need more games like this!

I have waited for a platformer game like this for so long. The graphics are amazing , the puzzles are fun, and the overall game has that charm only felt in older Rare games. Besides some back tracking if you want to collect everything, I truly love this game & can't recommend it enough for fans of previous Rare games like Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong.
