1.5/5 ★ – liamhello's review of Yooka-Laylee.

Yikes. As a platforming fan and a collectathon fan this game misses by a long shot. While it tries to capture the magic of banjo Kazooie it wildly fails with terrible unfunny dialog and annoying voices that never stop get grating. Additionally, the collectable aren't fun to collect, the character models are ugly, the music is too repetitive and the world's aren't interesting and fun. The casino world is the clearest example of an the games faults, attempting to break up the collectable collecting by putting those collectable behind a series of repetitive slot machines and mini games which DOESN'T CHANGE THE GAME AT ALL. IT'S THE SAME GAME WITH EXTRA STEPS. Fuck I.N.E.P.T., it's the worst boss since cheep cheep from Parappa. ALSO WHY WOULD YOU GIVE YOUR PLAYER THE ABILITY OF FLIGHT AND INVINCIBILITY BEFORE THE FINAL LEVELS. THEY BREAK THE PLATFORMING AND PUZZLES OF THE GAME. The best I can give it is that it is short enough to be a distraction between games if that's what you're looking for.
