Customers have good things to say about the gameplay, charming characters, and humor in Yooka-Laylee, describing it as a fun and nostalgic experience reminiscent of classic platformers. However, some customers point to occasional camera issues, somewhat slippery controls, and aspects of the level design as areas needing improvement. The game's difficulty was also cited as a potential drawback for younger players. While generally well-received for its charming qualities, some technical and design elements received criticism.

I’m not good at hardly any video games. This one is fun but it a little too sensitive for my liking. For example when trying to jump onto a moving platform I always end up falling off. It is probably more so my issue than the games though. Definitely fun for fans of the old Donkey Kong games

This game has a lot of flaws. I played it after the update that was supposed to fix the camera, but I still felt like the camera was not good. The world is big, but always feels empty. They seem to have spread out the activities on the levels in an attempt to make the game feel bigger than it really is. Also, it has some of the worst mini-games I have ever played. The mine cart game is particularly bad. Horrible, horrible controls and camera on the minigames. This game had so much potential, but everything just feels poorly constructed. It just feels like a low budget game. It gives you some adequate platforming gameplay, but is is just not that fun,.

Than you will love this. Many of the former developers from Rare worked on this so it plays like Banjo and Kazooie. The controls are a little floaty and take a bit to get use to. The bosses can be painfully difficult and sometimes (even on the first level) there are multiple areas you can't get to because you haven't learned a move yet. There is no hand holding in this game and you can often just get lost trying to find your way to the next level. That said this game is a great collect-a-thon and perfect if you enjoyed old 3d platformers. If you aren't great at platformers than skip it, you will NOT have fun with this.
