    This is a very tight 3D platfirner that is undoubtedly as good as anything in the genre. The only better experience of similar type would be Mario Odyssey.

    The same guys that made banjo kazooie made this game, pouring their heart and soul to this spiritual successor. They did an awesome job doing it!

    I originally played Yooka-Laylee on my PC and i love it, but i could not pass up a physical version of this game on the switch where you can play on the go anywhere. The only major change i can tell from my second play through is the game does run at 30fps compared to PC where you can run it at 60 fps. Besides the fps change this game is almost perfect.

    Limited run game so I grabbed it when I could. It's very cute with the design and the gameplay is entertaining. Just wish it would've gone on sale, even a little.

    This game reminds me so much of The classic Banjo-Kazooie for the Nintendo 64. If your a fan of that you will love this game without a doubt.

    Just a joy to play. Influence from Banjo and Kazooie is evident, but his game definitely has its own charm. What are you waiting for? Get it!

    Really exciting to be able to get a LRG game from Best Buy! Yooka-Laylee is from some of the creators of Banjo-Kazooie and plays just like it.

    For once the Switch doesn't lose out, and Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair might actually be best played on Nintendo's hybrid console.
