I give it a 7/10, a touch higher if you’re looking for that classic 3D platformer experience.

There were some good times in it for sure. If I was a kid and experienced it like SM64 and Banjo Kazooie I’m sure I’d rate it higher than 6/10 and have less complaints. Overall it just feels tedious in comparison to those classics despite having a really cool moveset. Like I mentioned, I’d rather they made a new game than remake this, I’ll still play new games they put out.

Oh absolutely prefer a new Yooka-Laylee game and won’t buy this remake because the original is still very playable.
My point was that I found it a bit above average. Then again, I’m not that into the genre, so maybe it doesn’t compare as favorably to others.

There was another game that came out the same year (2017) called A Hat in Time. I recommend checking that out if you’re even lukewarm on 3D platformers.

Yeah, I played about halfway through that, and it was fun, but performance was a bit odd. Yooka-Laylee felt a lot better to play, though A Hat in Time had more charm.
