Rated 5 out of 5 stars
A Massive Surprise
While I enjoyed Yooka-Laylee, the sequel, The Impossible Lair, is a much better & more refined experience. While it's more of a side-scrolling platformer a la Donkey Kong Country or Super Mario Bros., it also offers a 3D hub world that is as much of a game as the side-scrolling portions. While the hub world has an overhead view, it's very much akin to the original Yooka-Laylee, as it's very open with puzzles, NPC's to talk to, secrets to find, all played in a 3D perspective. The Impossible Lair is essentially two great games in one. I'd recommend it if you like polished platformers like Donkey Kong & Mario.

Better than the first one!
First hour and I’m hooked, lots of interesting characters and to be honest I’m loving the 2D spin!

Excellent modernized spin on the 2D platformer.
Yooka-Laylee finally succeeds in bringing the platformer to the next level. With an original structure, made of puzzles and reverse narration, this new episode brings a fresh OST and some great ideas, while being sometimes too difficult or unprecise. A really good game for nostalgics and newcomers.
