Why Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts Works / HOTCYDER
172In this essay, I take a look at a much maligned title that managed to improve over it's originator; By putting problem solving directly in the players hands without losing it's spirit.
Why it works is a short-form video series that gives an analytical breakdown of video games, and points out features, techniques or quirks that should be better examined and extrapolated.
HOTCYDER is a video series on videogames. Be sure to subscribe for future updates!
