3.5/5 ★ – THEGIDGE13's review of Yooka-Laylee.

I do feel that the hate on this game was a little forced. People really wanted it to be the spiritual successor to Banjo and Kazooie and it was just never going to be that. The design of Yooka and Laylee is cute, and I think fits well with the overall vibe and look of the game. The platforming is really good, I would argue just as good as Banjo and Kazooie's. I also really liked how each level had a different level "thing" you could change into. Like the helicopter in the casino level for example. The main villain is cool in concept, but by the end he becomes annoying. The minecart minigame is sometime unresponsive, and makes for multiple frustrating do overs, just to get ONE collectible. Also, dealing with the cannon fodder enemies becomes pretty annoying by the end and I couldn't tell you why.
