Game Review: Yooka-Laylee

Yooka-Laylee is a platforming title that goes back to the roots of the 3D platformer in the best way possible. The staff behind Yooka-Laylee are ex-Rare staff and were present during Rare's golden age back on the Nintendo 64 .

Yooka and Laylee are a great duo; Excellent worlds and environments; Challenging and no hand holding; Collectables galore; Lots to explore and lots of replay-ability; It's the most nostalgic modern-game you'll ever play; Excellent soundtrack

The dialogue and writing could have been slightly modernised; Very minor frame rate dips; not often enough to be concerned

not a patch on banjo kazooie,not easily played for long periods

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 Review – Silly, Endearing and Utterly Charming

Yooka-Laylee is built on a foundation of nostalgia and nostalgia is a very powerful emotion. It can often make us long for past experiences or previously owned items, even if those things weren't that great to begin with.

Fun gameplay mechanics; Silly and witty writing; Large and varied worlds; Meaningful progression; Lots to do

Framerate inconsistencies; A couple annoying physics-based puzzles; Occasional camera issues

Definitely for fans of N64-era Rare.

Amazing, super nostalgic, definitely feels like a N64 era Rare game. Was so hooked, I 100%'d the game in a couple days

"Currently my daughter's favourite"

Cartoonesque fun with challenging puzzles.
