Yooka-Laylee

Yooka-Laylee is a very solid contender that's worth the price of admission.

Yooka-Laylee is a game that is a pleasant surprise, an enjoyable experience, and one we highly recommend for gamers of all types.

2941d ago

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.

2941d ago

Fantastic fun for all ages, and tons of content to boot.

Yooka-Laylee made me feel like a kid again and proves there’s still a place for the classic 3D collectathon.

2941d ago

The game isn’t interested in coasting on nostalgia, but in establishing brand-new memories for the next generation.

2941d ago

Yooka-Laylee is basically the Banjo-Kazooie game players have been waiting well over a decade for.

2941d ago

This is a game that was built for those who look back with fondness on the classics that spawned it, and in that regard, it delivers completely.

I found it a ton of fun and terribly addicting to the point where I just consumed it in about 2 days.

2941d ago

With an asking price of $39.99, this is an easy recommendation for platforming fans.

2941d ago

Yooka-Laylee is a lot of goofy fun wrapped in a light and colorful retro package.

2941d ago

Absolutely sublime platform action from the team behind Banjo-Kazooie, et al.

2681d ago

By not holding up Banjo-Kazooie as the last bastion of platformers, Playtonic was able to turn Yooka-Laylee into an overall improvement on the formula it so closely mimics.

2941d ago

Yooka-Laylee is the game that fans have been waiting for all these years.

2941d ago

At its best, Yooka-Laylee reminds me why I fell in love with colourful platformers.

2941d ago

Colourful characters, and enough adult humour to keep you wondering how this is a G rated game.

2941d ago

To put it simply, the Switch version of Yooka-Laylee is brilliant.

2681d ago

What the game loses by not having had a Rare/Nintendo-sized QA department to smooth its rough edges it compensates for with a princely pile of ideas, and a lovely control scheme that only improves with elaboration.

2941d ago

Playtonic's first foray is rough around the edges, but the center is so full of heart that it'll melt away the more you play it.

2941d ago

It's a loving throwback to a bygone era and style of gaming.

2941d ago

Do yourself a favour and give this one a go; it may not have been too well received to begin with, but Playtonic has polished it up quite nicely; it is a worthy addition to the Switch library.

2681d ago

A new renaissance, if you will, of the 3D platformer.

2941d ago

It’s a faithful recreation of the formula that made games of the late 90s and early 2000s both so special and so frustrating.

2941d ago

Yooka-Laylee is a fun, familiar, and nostalgic trip to a genre from the past that still holds up incredibly well in the present.

2941d ago

Yooka-Laylee is a fun throwback to a simpler time, but in the process some things got lost in translation.

2681d ago

Yooka-Laylee is a terrific throwback to an era long dead.

2681d ago

Yooka-Laylee is a good reminder that this genre, once thought to be dead, still has some life left in it.

2941d ago

Yooka-Laylee’s reliance on nostalgia may struggle to find new fans.

2941d ago

At its very core, Yooka-Laylee succeeds in reviving a format long forgotten and does so with such vigor and passion.

2941d ago

While Yooka-Laylee’s less-than-clear communication gameplay-wise does toss up a baffled look on more than one instance, its efforts are still enjoyable.

2941d ago

Yooka-Laylee is a good reminder that this genre, once thought to be dead, still has some life left in it.

2941d ago

Except maybe for that music, my goodness is it good.

2941d ago

The extra time taken to bring Yooka Laylee to the Nintendo Switch has been worth it.

2681d ago

A decent revival of the N64-era 3D platformer, but with all the flaws that carries, as well as some new ones of its own.

2941d ago

Yooka-Laylee shows there’s room for nostalgia-flavored 3D platforming in today’s market.

2941d ago

It's crushing that Yooka-Laylee does not reach the heights of brilliance of the game it clearly draws its inspiration from.

2941d ago

Yooka-Laylee then, is somewhat of a letdown.

2941d ago

Yooka-Laylee is a nostalgic trip to the past that ignores all the innovations that came after it.

2941d ago

I can only really recommend pushing through Yooka-Laylee’s pedestrian campaign to the most enthusiastic of old Rare’s fans.

2681d ago

Ultimately, Yooka-Laylee’s best and worst aspects come directly from its predecessor.

2941d ago

Yooka-Laylee gave me the kind of thrills that I’d long been looking to rediscover, but that initial warm blast of nostalgia quickly fades.

2941d ago

Unfortunately, technical issues stick to it like bat guano.

2941d ago

Yooka-Laylee is a game with noble aspirations, grounded by clumsily flawed execution.

2941d ago

At its best, Yooka-Laylee is a fun retread of '90s-era 3D platforming.

2941d ago

It's colourful, there are collectibles, and it's got a rotten camera: Yooka-Laylee is a 90s platformer to a tee.

2941d ago

Yooka-Laylee is not a bad game, but by God does it have its problems.

2941d ago

Yooka-Laylee looks the part of an updated platformer, but some of its mechanics should have stayed back in the era it came from.

2941d ago

Yooka-Laylee could have been the start of a new generation of 3D platformers, but its design leaves it firmly stuck in the past.

2941d ago

Yooka-Laylee is a nostalgic old-school adventure, but it’s too retro for its own good.

2941d ago

It just feels very out of place in 2017.

2941d ago

It’s everything wrong about the formative years of 3D platforming and it somehow retained none of what made the genre’s highlights endure.
