It's exactly the game they promised. If you're a fan of the Banjo Kazooie games I see no reason why you wouldn't enjoy this one. It's also fairly priced and if you were to go for 100% you're looking at a little over 20hrs of gameplay. I don't think it's fair to say it's bad, the reviews were mixed sure, but I get the impression a majority of people who backed it were happy with it because they got what they were hoping for. It does come with issues such as flying and swimming being a bit awkward (Will a platformer ever get that right?) and the occasional framerate drops/glitchy camera bits. But none of those things are gamebreaking and it still manages to be fun. Sure, if you're not into this sort of game you're not going to enjoy it but there's a difference between that and a game being flat out bad.

I'm a huge fan of Banjo & Kazooie and the likes, got pretty excited when Yooka-Laylee was announced and backed it on day one, waited eagerly for it to be released, and ended up pretty disappointed... Don't get me wrong, I played about 10 hours on it, because I really wanted to give it a chance. Alas, I tend to agree with the average reviews. It's obvious Playtonic did put a lot of efforts into the game, but the magic is just not there :disappointed: It's not just about the gameplay being erratic, but the whole thing feels like an empty shell: character design is generic, levels are huge and untidy to the point were you constantly get lost and don't know where to go next, running after the collectibles should be enjoyable but it's more a pain than anything else, etc. The only true achievement in the game is the soundtrack, which is awesome.

I would not say it's a bad game, because many gamers actually enjoy it. Maybe this kind of game is just not for me anymore.

It's a bad game... in your opinion. I'm playing through it atm and it's one of the better games I've played recently.

Couldn't agree more. Been waiting 15 years for them to bring out another game like this. The right mix of fun and challenging that takes me back. I love it

So tempted to get Yooka Laylee but it's dropped £8 already surely it's worth waiting a little longer! Heat tho op!

I've read many mixed reviews, which is why I don't want to pay full price and I'm happy to wait, but I loved the old Banjo Kazooie's so I will be checking it out either way :-)

Is the Dishonoured 2 version the one with the remastered Dishonoured 1?

I can't access the site at work :disappointed:

No drama - cheers Buzz

Got 30 hours of fun out of yooka laylee and really enjoyed it. Controls and camera didn't even bother me after the first 30 mins. It's a shame it's getting so much hate really.

There is a patch coming out soon on Yooka-Laylee to sort out the bad camera and annoying which is the bad posts of the game apparently. Heat for current price but I'll wait a bit longer for in all honesty.

It's clearly not a bad game. Might not be your cup of tea (I'm not sure if it would be mine either, tempted though) but that doesn't make it a bad game.
