Customers are saying

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.

    Fun But Flawed Old School 3d Platformer

    This is a fun little throwback to the days of old 3d platformers like banjo kazooie. If you enjoyed those games as a kid you will probably enjoy this one as well. Be prepared for a few camera issues along the way. They can get quite frustrating in spots.

    This game could have used more polishing, but I understand it's from a small group of developers. There are some frustrating moments in the game, but overall I think it's a good game. It's genuinely fun to explore the different worlds. To me, it captures some of the essence of the old N64 games like Mario 64.

    I've been excited to pick up Yooka-Laylee since I first heard about it. After seeing the gameplay I was instantly reminded of games I used to play when I was younger. Awesome!

    The game is fun but short.. The controls are stiff, and really remind of N64. The thing is though we have had better control and game play since then and seems like this is a relic. Recommended if you like nostalgia but not for everyone.

    This game is almost identical to Banjo Kazooie, but just with different characters and worlds. It plays the same, giving you that retro 3D world view like most of the Xbox, N64 and PS2 games in the past. Overall, I like this style and would recommend if you can grab it on sale.

    If you like 3D plataforms this is a game for you. Very fun game for all ages. The only con is the camera but once you get used to it the game is more enjoyable

    When the video game market is so tainted by AAA developers filling games with microtransactions, Its nice to see indie developers create games that fill us will nostalgia. Does it have problems? yes but they are probably patched out by now.

    I was disappointed by this game. It feels like you are constantly fighting the camera and controls. Most of the game feels like a chore rather than being enjoyable
