Yooka-Laylee Review

7.3 Total Score
Good

Yooka-Laylee is an all-new open-world platformer from key creative talent behind the Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country games. It’s a faithful recreation of the formula that made games of the late 90s and early 2000s both so special and so frustrating. Playtonic has managed to mix everything good of this genre and turn it into something fresh and wonderful. Gameplay bears resemblance to Banjo-Kazooie and its sequel, Banjo-Tooie, featuring items and characters that play similar roles to those found in these games. One player controls two characters working together simultaneously, a male chameleon named Yooka, who is being described as "sensible", and likewise controls a female bat named Laylee, who is being described as "a little bit crazy". Yooka-Laylee is a pleasant surprise, an enjoyable experience. A game for fans who miss the N64 days of running around a huge, open map, collecting a bunch of stuff and having a bit of a laugh.
