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.

This is a fun, bright, colorful game and a huge throw back to the Banjo series by Rare back in the N64 era. It plays similar in many ways and has many references for those who have played Banjo Kazooie/Tooie. Check it out for sure.

This is a nod to older games like banjo kazooie and banjo tooie. It was made by the same people who made them and the music was done by the same person who did both banjo games. This was first a kickstarter and was funded. Its a cute game but I lost interest a few hours in.

This game is great if you loved the old N64 games, but there are also some issues. Some frustrating level design and poor camera angles detract from what could be a great game.

A successor to Banjo Kazooie, this 3D platforms is cute and fun to play. Your main goal is to collect pagies to open up new worlds. Keep in mind that you have to collect 100 out of the 145 pagies to get to the final boss.

The game is very good. Very simple with many different side adventures to go on. My only negative comment is the weird talking they do , after awhile it can get a little annoying to hear there voice.

A good game by modern standards, and also great if you love platformers from the N64 era, since we never seem to get that gameplay style anymore. the camera could use some improvement at times but it's still good.

This is a colorful Banjo and Kazooie style 3D platformer from the days of the N64 but with greatly enhanced graphics. Excellent family friendly game that is super colorful. Great for kids and not too easy.

If you were a fan of the N64 platform games by Rare then you will not be disappointed. This throwback title lets new gamers experience the classic Rare adventures similar to Banjo-Kazooie in Yooka-Laylee.

Fantastic recreation of what we loved about the late 90's platforming heydays. It's got some camera issues, but what 90's platformers didn't? Great game for those that want a new Mario 64 or Banjo-Kazooie!

Yooka-Layle is a spiritual successor to a classic franchise during the 32-bits era, Banjo-Kazooie, developed by former Rare developers. This platformer feels like playing from those classic 3D games.

Fun platformer that is haunted with some of the limitations from years past but don't let that detour from playing it if you enjoyed banjo and kazooie and any other rare games you cant go wrong.

Definitely fun and nostalgic. Unfortunately the game suffers from irritating camera alignment and floaty controls. For a platformer, those issues are seriously detrimental to the user experience.

Overall a positive experience. It's fun to solve the puzzles and explore the variety of platforming while collecting the variety of item. Much like banjo kazooie but perhaps less charm.

This is not a bad game as others say. It is actually very fun! It is an old school feel and with that comes cons in simple game design. Lot to do in the game and still is very fun.

Beautiful visuals, and nostalgic platforming/collectem gameplay. This game brings me back to my childhood where I would play Banjo Kazooie until my thumbs bled.
