Yooka-Laylee

« Yooka-Laylee is the triumphant return of the true platform games. Playtonic has managed to mix everything good of this genre and turn it into something fresh and wonderful. »

« Yooka-Laylee is a 3D platformer like those we had in the past and a great successor to Banjo-Kazooie. The gameplay is almost the same, just putting a chameleon and a bat in the place of the bear and the bird. The true Rare is now called Playtonic Games. »

« Yooka-Laylee at times feels more like a remake of Banjo-Kazooie than a completely new game, that's how much they are alike. But in this case it is only meant in a positive way. The world needs more games likes this, you know. »

« Like turning on your Nintendo 64 or your first PlayStation, time freezes and you're stuck in front of your screen for several hours of gameplay mechanics and charisma that are pure joy and in color. Yooka-Laylee is great in almost every respect, in a trip of typical worlds, backtracking with lots of jumps, trials and minigames. It's lengthy, and takes good advantage of Unity engine. Playtonic has been successful: this game evokes the best of Rare. »

« It might not be as good as your vague memories of the hallowed games of Rare, but Yooka-Laylee has a little bit of that old lovable magic in it. It may be made for children, but there is a little something that can make the old and miserable smile again. That alone is worth it. »

« Minor annoyances aside, Yooka-Laylee is a solid 3D buddy platformer that's full of variety, humour, and a fantastic cast of characters all wrapped in a laid back adventure. Who knew a chameleon and a bat could have so much fun together? »

« Yooka-Laylee is a breath of fresh air. Playtonic Games knows platforming, and knows it well. The incredibly precise reactions needed by players, coupled with the lack of some of the genre’s more modern conveniences may turn some newer/younger gamers off. But for those looking for a deceptively deep collect-a-thon that has an entertaining story and wonderfully-crafted world, look no further. With an asking price of $39.99, this is an easy recommendation for platforming fans. »

« Yooka-Laylee is a celebration of classic games like Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong. If you have ever played those games you will be the happiest person in the world playing Yooka-Laylee. If not, you might be bothered too much by its flaws. »

« Though its tries, it never reaches the highs of the Banjo-Kazooie series that inspired this. Needs more refining, gameplay ends up being more frustrating than nostalgic. »

« Yooka Laylee tries to be Banjo Kazooie. It’s not. I think the most notable thing about my experience with it was the fact that you can’t access certain basic movement options until you read a sign or interact with an npc. That alone burned my enjoyment of the game. That, and it’s clunky. Some of the collision is sketchy. Yooka Laylee isn’t a bad game, and is something you can definitely tell was made with heart, but ultimately falls short of something enjoyable. »

« Best 3D Platform error I've played post-2010 besides Mario. Definitely scratched that n64 nostalgia itch »

« Horrible camera movement, controllers and puzzles. A waste of time and money. »

« Finalizado, tras un parón de varios años por medio. Lo dejé en su momento porque la cámara y los saltos poco precisos me resultaban incómodos. Tras rejugar Banjo-Kazooie me di cuenta que precisamente esas 2 características no han cambiado mucho en Yooka-Laylee. Con ese cambio de enfoque mi experiencia cambió notablemente. Muchos buscaremos en este título un tributo a Banjo Kazooie y sin duda lo es, sus personaje, su humor, sus "voces" y sobretodo su música con tanto Xilófono desprende un aroma a la saga de Rare en Nintendo 64 que a juicio le hace justicia. Las pegas, que las tiene, vienen, a mi juicio,en los escasos niveles, quizas más mundos y menos pagies por mundo encajaría mejor que las ampliaciones. Los jefes finales, con menos carisma del esperado. Y las transformaciones no están a la altura de Banjo. En resumen, es un buen juego, que rinde buen tributo y sienta unas bases solidas para crear una saga 3D, que aunque poco original, ocupa un lugar y tipo de juego que parece olvidado entre los desarrolladores y que la dueña de los derechos de Banjo no le parece interesante explotar. Quién eche de menos plataformas 3D noventeros agradecerán volver a un género olvidado que rozó la perfección hace casi 30 años. »

« I agree with the game not being as polished as the previous Banjo Kazooie games, and I feel a large part of this is the way the maps are made. Often worlds are just too vast and wide to explore that it makes it very hard to find every spot or item in a given world. A map system would have gone a long way for this game, but overall it's a decent start to the franchise itself, warts and all. »

« The overall score is based on how much fun I personally had with every component of the game and the overall experience. »

« This is an excellent game, only let down by late game bs attempting to elongate play time artificially. The first 8 hours of this game are great fun. Not every world is great but overall this is much better than its baffling scores. »
