Yooka-Laylee - A Spiritual Successor
I've rented this game a few months back and was able to beat this game. I went into this game with an open mind. Yes, I've seen a few reviews of this game, but I wanted to share my own thoughts and experiences with this game. **PROS** ~ Yooka-Laylee is filled with quirky and memorable characters. Such as Capital B (main antagonist), Dr. Quack, Trowzers, and featturing a special guest - Shovel Knight from Yacht Club Games. ~ Collect Pagies (equivalent to Jiggies): You collect them to open up more new worlds or expand the world that adds more stuff to do in it. ~ Collect Quills: Collect Quills to unlock new moves for Yooka-Laylee to help progress to places you couldn't traverse before. ~ There's a Hub World to explore from Yooka-Laylee's home to Hivory Towers. It's all connected. ~ The soundtrack to Yooka-Laylee was fun, memorable, and enjoyable to listen to. The ones that stood out to be was Tribalstack Tropics, Hivory Towers theme, Capital Casino Boss theme, Galleon Galaxy Minecart ride theme, etc. ~ Transformations - Like in Banjo-Kazooie, Yooka-Laylee can transform into different things. With the help of Dr. Puzz's transformation ray. With these transformations, they can gain access to areas that they couldn't before. **CONS** ~ Rextro's Arcade Games: they were not as fun as I would have hoped. There were like one or two that I actually did enjoy playing, but the rest were not that great. ~ Kartos' Minecart Sections: It was cool to see some side-scrolling minecart levels that are inspired by DKC minecart sections. But... I didn't have as much fun as I would have liked. There's a slight delay on the jump. I wish you could kill enemies if you jumped on top of them. There were a couple of minecart levels that I did enjoy. One from the MoodyMaze Marsh and one from the Galleon Galaxy. I remember there were issues that people had with the game when it first came out, but those issues have been patched out. Luckily, the Switch version had the updated patches already in the game. I wasn't too crazy about the $50 price tag since the PS4 and Xbox One versions costs less. Luckily, I had a $10 gift card to use to reduce the price. Inside the case comes a small instruction manual, [man, I miss those days when games had physical manuals]. and a Limited Run pamphlet advertisement. There's also a reversible cover that shows the whole cast of characters from the game. If you don't like the front cover, you could just switch it over to the reverse side. Overall, despite its flaws, Yooka-Laylee is a decent game to play. I hope that Playtonic will take the feedback and improve the formula in the next Yooka-Laylee game. I am looking forward to playing Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair. I've heard good things about that game.

5 stars for the nostalgia, 2 for the gameplay
Game itself (storyline, characters, worlds) is great. However, I just finished playing Super Mario Odyssey which had incredible controls, camera toggling, etc. In comparison, this game is really tough to keep up with camera angles and controlling the characters movements as much. I love the Banjo Kazooie game from N64 so wanted this game despite the warnings about gameplay issues; am still happy I got it.

Good limited run switch game
This is a very good platformer game for the switch. It's a limited run game too. Which means it will become super rare. This game has some camera glitches, but tolerablem. Some platforms/ puzzles are tedious/thoughtful. Good graphics and decent music. I would give this game a solid 8.
