Eh, I liked Yooka-Laylee. It wasn’t superior innovative or anything, but it was a lot of fun. It reminded me of classic 3D platformers, which is a good thing.
I give it a 7/10, a touch higher if you’re looking for that classic 3D platformer experience.
There were some good times in it for sure. If I was a kid and experienced it like SM64 and Banjo Kazooie I’m sure I’d rate it higher than 6/10 and have less complaints. Overall it just feels tedious in comparison to those classics despite having a really cool moveset. Like I mentioned, I’d rather they made a new game than remake this, I’ll still play new games they put out.
There was another game that came out the same year (2017) called A Hat in Time. I recommend checking that out if you’re even lukewarm on 3D platformers.
Yeah, I played about halfway through that, and it was fun, but performance was a bit odd. Yooka-Laylee felt a lot better to play, though A Hat in Time had more charm.

Oh absolutely prefer a new Yooka-Laylee game and won’t buy this remake because the original is still very playable.
My point was that I found it a bit above average. Then again, I’m not that into the genre, so maybe it doesn’t compare as favorably to others.
