    Was addicted to Banjo Kazooie on N64 in my youth.

    Is Yooka-Laylee similar in game play or only by name?

      About as close as you can get to Banjo Kazooie just short of getting sued for IP infringement.

    • Me too. Pretty sure I'd be disappointed now. But $15 is tempting.

    • Yooka-Laylee was free on PC in one of the regular Epic free game giveaways.

      The graphics are gorgeous and colourful, like a Mario game, really well done.

      But the gameplay was a bit lacking. My 5 year old (the perfect age for this game, if going by the visuals and style) couldn't really get into it. They didn't think things through that well; e.g.: the difficult curve is uneven, and there's a lot of reading for a game so obviously appealing to pre-schoolers.

      It didn't hold the interest of the older kids either.

      Free is free, but I don't think I'd buy it for $15. Still, it really is gorgeous and kids 4-8 who can read well and don't mind a bit difficulty might.

      And for Switch $15 is very cheap, even for a game that's no longer brand new. (On PC it's not, these days. Even some AAA titles regularly hit $15 in sales some time within the first year or two of release, or even $10. Nintendo is way more stingy with their discounts).

    Yoku's is fantastic.

  • Who doesn't love Yoshi island!

  • +1

    Yokus island is amazing game!!! I highly recommend it.

  • A metrovania platform with pinball element.
    My biggest surprise game last year! One of the few games where i was hooked till the end and platinum the hell out of it. This is a steal, do not pass this up!!

  • Yoku's Island Express doesn't get much love as it should. A game that is way better than expected!
