Yooka-Laylee - Collecting For You
1Ah the pitfalls of nostalgia and despite all of the rage, I was just a rat of the cage. I guess in a way, Nostalgia can be a drug and also the one thing that stings you like a bee. I am an adventure game enjoyer for the sense of being able to explore and on n64, Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Mario 64, and other games perfected the craft in the sense as "collectathons" were amazing. Though this spirtual successor, which was made by former Rareware developers named Playtonic games, It makes clumsy, heavy handed and weak handed efforts to emulate that magic while also holding the charm.
Yooka-Layle was given a Ps4/Xbox one release on April 17th 2017. The storyline involves Hivory Towers, A company lead by the infamous "Capital B" and his assistant Dr Quack who are trying to take all books from the world, in search of the one special book. Enter our heroes: Yooka, a charmeleon, and Layle, a fruit bat who see Layle's book stolen, it turns out that the special book has "Paggies", These jiggie like items are needed to open each world and explore to get them back.
Played from a third person view, we guide Yooka and Layle across massive worlds that look just like the Banjo worlds but, much bigger and more defined. Firstly, Controls are very clumsy: Yooka and Layle feel wobbly and somewhat like on ice requiring careful movement and often their jumps can end up making you fall during platform segments. The swimming controls are even worse. Theres a variety of moves which are quite useful and some, break the game like the flight ability.
The Camera is not too bad, its decent, since this game was emulating the n64 style, visuals are very bright and nice. Enemies reflect their banjo inspiration and Grant Kirkhope's music? Oh yeah, Its pure Banjo kazooie energy. Difficulty isn't even that bad, its the controls that severely hurt Yooka-Layle. There's a Remaster named Yooka-Replaylee coming some point, So I had to revist this game I had actually pre-ordered.
