Yooka-Laylee is an all-new open-world platformer from genre veterans Playtonic!
Explore huge, beautiful worlds, meet (and beat) an unforgettable cast of characters and horde a vault-load of shiny collectibles as buddy-duo Yooka (the green one) and Laylee (the wisecracking bat with the big nose) embark on an epic adventure to thwart corporate creep Capital B and his devious scheme to absorb all the world’s books… and convert them into pure profit!
Using their arsenal of special moves, our heroes will tackle a huge variety of puzzles and platforming challenges in their search for Pagies, the golden bounty used to unlock — and expand — stunning new worlds, each jammed to the gills with oddball characters, hulking bosses, minecart challenges, arcade games, quiz shows, multiplayer games… and much more!

Genuinely hate the level of tedium this game presents. Collectathon, sure. But Yikes... I keep trying to enjoy this game, I really do, but the open design coupled with the deep necessity of buying upgrades is SO exhausting. I don't mind doubling-back in platformers once I have an upgrade, but the open design leaves me feeling frustrated when I encounter something that "needs an upgrade" I don't have.1 found this helpful
Kinda feel like us early adapters that bought this on launch and were very disappointed shoulda got replayee for free but what ever. Just mean i can still ♥♥♥♥ on the game cause I'm not paying to be disappointed again.
[b]Pros[/b] [list] [*] +Nice art style and presentation [/list] [b]Cons[/b] [list] [*] -Worlds feel too large and empty [*] -Doesn’t really feel engaging [/list] [b]Comments[/b] Yooka-Laylee is an open world platformer that has a decent start. The first part of the opening world was alright, but once I unlocked the second half, it felt like it was easy to get lost, especially without a map. Once I moved onto the second world, it felt large and there seemed to be a lot of empty areas. At this point, I lost interest since the game didn’t feel engaging or fun. Overall, I don’t recommend this game. There’s a remake of this game called Yooka-Replaylee, which seems to have better reviews compared to this version. While I haven’t played the remake, that game might be worth taking a look at over this one.
It's an enjoyable 3d platformer collectathon. The movement is a little clunky in places, but overall design is competent. I've recently played the remake of this and think this is probably the more fun version, especially if you're into sequence breaking and/or speedrunning. All the hours are from me and my friend speedrunning and playing bingo using a randomizer.
this is the BEST game of all time 10/10 would recomend anyone to play fr fr ong ong
Yooka-Laylee appeals to nostalgia by mimicking Banjo-Kazooie, but ultimately this just invites unflattering comparisons. If you're feeling nostalgic for Banjo-Kazooie, go replay Banjo-Kazooie. (It holds up amazingly well.) Yooka-Laylee's bland and tedious level designs are not really worth the time.
