BuenĂsimo!
Fascinante!Yo estoy encantado con este juego y espero trabajen ya en la secuela y si es posible que saquen uno de carrerasEs tan retro con sus glitches y personajes de la época del 64 que me fascinaA quien le importa Banjo? Fue inspiración y nada más, no es una secuela ni nada parecidoAdemás la última actualización que tuvo mejoró muchas cosas del juego originalRecomendadisimo sobretodo para los de 25-35 años que vivimos la época del 64Muchos de los nuevos jugadores no entenderán ese sentimiento

Unofficially Banjo-Threeie
A spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie, anyone who loved it or Banjo-Tooie will love Yooka-Laylee. Imagine taking the original files for Banjo-Kazooie, swapping out the characters, and just barely changing the songs enough to avoid copyright conflicts, then updating the graphics to today’s standards. That’s what Yooka-Laylee is, and it is fun. There are 5 worlds to visit in the game, each with hundreds of collectibles, secrets, challenges, and pagies to collect. Hivory Towers is an interesting hub world that feels a bit empty and long sometimes, but is still a nice place. The beginning area where you start the game? Beautiful.Yooka-Laylee is for people who miss Banjo-Kazooie and its style of gameplay. Collecting things, beautiful and colorful environments, funny gags, and a fun adventure for the duo. The game is around 15-20 hours for the main story according to HowLongToBeat, and my own play record. The only issue this game has in its design is that there aren’t many different enemies. There are these standard, Kuriboh-like (from Yu-Gi-Oh!) things that run around Hivory Towers, and have variants in the five book worlds you go into. They can be differently colored, have a hat, or have an outfit, but it’s still the same general enemy. It is what you will see the most of, as there are only a handful of unique enemies in the game. Off the top of my head, I would **guess** that there are only around a dozen enemies in the game total, not counting bosses, which also each share a similar design (some, at least).My guess is that Playtonic Games realized they had a limited budget because this game was funded through Kickstarter, and not some big company like Microsoft or Activision, and had to cut corners somewhere. The least noticeable/cared about would be enemy variety, and I think they chose well. Besides this, you generally get the feel that the game was made like any others, although a few reviewers have stated they could see areas in the game that showed budget limitations due to being a Kickstarted funded game. I enjoyed it just as much as the original Banjo-Kazooie.One issue to note is that the Xbox One version has problems with the framerate, especially the casino world. It is very noticeable, although it never affects gameplay, and only lasts two or three seconds. However, it is repeating and gets annoying. The game feels unrefined on the Xbox One because of this, and on top of it, it happens in the game’s “bad level.” Every game has a bad level, and the casino world is the bad level in Yooka-Laylee. My friend and I generally found it to be a pain in the butt.If you’re looking for what is essentially Banjo-Threeie, this is most likely the closest fans of the genre will ever get. Unless Microsoft gives Rare funding for it, I’m considering this the third game in the Banjo-Kazooie series, and am now looking towards “Banjo-Fourie.” It’s that similar, and if you didn’t like B-K, don’t play this. But if you did? Relive the fun times and cute jokes with Yooka-Laylee.For those wondering, a version for the Nintendo Switch is coming, but its release date is TBA.

It has been scratched that itch for platformers like Mario 64
If you are looking for a true platformer since the era of Nintendo 64, this is it. It has been scratched that itch for platformers like Mario 64, Mario Galaxy, Banjo Kazooie, and Donkey Kong 64, great game for children as well as adults. The only downside to this game is they have yet to make any additional DLC or discussed if there will be a Yooka Laylee 2 which I would love to play. Hopefully they start another kickstarter soon.Recommended for any who enjoys the Nintendo 64 era of gaming.

I enjoyed Yooka Laylee, but it can't compare to Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie.
I enjoyed Yooka Laylee, but it can't compare to Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie.Good:-The worlds were fun, creative, and had plenty to explore.-There were many unique moves to learn throughout the game.-The characters were witty and the dialog was very enjoyable.Bad:-Unnecessarily frustrating and repetitive boss fights.-Still a few glitches.

Could be better
Being a huge banjo kazooie/banjo tooie fan I was very excited when I found out Chris Sutherland and his team were making a spiritual successor to banjo kazooie. The gameplay is very similar to banjo. It has a similar story as well. The camera is a pain in the A**. Gives me a headache. Also having to expand each world instead of having 8 or 9 of them seems kind of lazy. Overall I'd say the game is worth it if you are a rare fan and have love for banjo kazooie
