  Reboot. I never played the original.

    Ahh, I see. How is it (in general, as a mascot platformer)?

      Decent, but I think it’s a little odd:

      • collectibles require backtracking in levels, yet they also record time, so I’m not sure if they’re recommending speed or exploration
      • you can buy lives/extra hearts in the store (why?)
      • some things can be fiddly

      I think Yooka-Laylee is way better, but it’s still fun.

        Hmm, considering it already reminded me of the second game (not bad but I did prefer the original, even if it was “worse”) I’ll probably skip this one. Thanks!
