T he 3D platformer genre really came into play during the 32-bit/64-bit era of consoles, with a large number of them falling under the collectathon umbrella. Rare was one of the most well known developers of these at the time with games like Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64.

Yooka-Laylee is exactly what we and the Kickstarter fans wanted. A spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie and that's what we got. It more than delivers on this promise and I honestly don't see what anyone else was expecting, so I don't get why other critics have been so harsh on it…It baffles...

When I read the first ever article this game was being made,I pledged a few quid to its fundraiser,I raved about its style and how we need more like it as since n64 days games are often too similar and repetitive these days.i was so excited to finally play it ,but within minutes was stuck and bored...

Yooka-Laylee is built out of the heart, soul, guts, and bones of Banjo-Kazooie. It's exactly what fans of Rare's classic 3D wanted. Unfortunately, technical issues stick to it like bat guano. 3 /5
