I had higher hopes for this game, but it's not bad. If you liked games like Banjo Kazooie you'll enjoy this. The gameplay is a little outdated. The music is GREAT!

I bought this game for my son, and found out it is challenging and somehow confusing, but fun. Need to pay attention to details in order to fully enjoy it.

It's a fun game with plenty to offer. It thrives on nostalgia and that's it's major shortcoming. If you don't like old school platformers it's not for you.

This game is really fun to play. I am a nintendo gal; therefore, I look for games on my other systems that remind me of Mario. This hit the spot for me.

I had medium to low expectations going in. But after playing it through the first world I can say I really like this game now. This will become a future classic for sure. If you enjoyed Banjo & Super Mario 64 games I recommend you check this game out and give it a chance.

Good game that brings back nostalgia of games similar to banjo-kazooie. Controls are a bit clunky at times though. Good game, not perfection.

If you enjoyed banjo kazoie or tooie then you will like this game. Camera controls are a little funky but that's part of the nostalgia.

Bought this game on a whim with Super Lucky's Tale. Haven't really got the hang of it yet. It is the kind of platform game i like playing. I gave up only after a few tries with it. Will go back to it soon and tryh try try again.

If you like the old school type platforming games then you will like this one. It's not perfect, but it is a really decent game.

A Decent but Flawed Game

If you enjoyed the old Rareware games of the 90's, then I suggest you play Rare Replay. While fun in short bursts, Yooka Laylee is deeply flawed. Seemingly unsure of which game it wants to copy, the result is a hodge podge of different ideas that tend to fall flat on their faces. If you enjoyed Banjo Tooie and that style of game, then you will find some enjoyment here. Just go in with lower expectations.
