If you thought Mr. Peterson was the villain then I blame TinyBuildGames for not build their games off of the book lore a bit more often. Seriously, Mayor Tavish and his family play a bigger role!

They just announced a remake of Yooka-Layle.

Now I would say it's unnecessary to remake something that's only 7 years old, but I'm fine since I did enjoy this game and it's the closest we've gotten to a remake or proper sequel to Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie.

I need Playtonic to get access to Banjo-Kazooie rights and make Banjo and Kazooie cross paths with Yookua and Laylee and they try to thwart the plans of a teamed up Gruntilda’s head Capital B in Banj-Yooka-Zooie-Laylee. (We ignore Nuts n Bolts.)

Picked Up Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair because it was 90% (50% off because of a sale, plus an additional 40% because I bought Yooka Laylee) because I liked Yooka Laylee, even if it was super uneven. I heard the sequel, which is a 2.5d platformer rather than 3d, was a bit more polished, and im definitely seeing it.

I love the oddball sense of humor and style, all the weird side characters, so I'm happy to see them back. You're helping a new character, Queen Phoebee, reclaim her kingdom from Capital B, the capitalist Bee man from the first game. I like Capital B, I think he'd fit right In with Grunty and K Rool. He's the worst.

Yooka-Laylee (2017)

Yooka-Laylee is a platformer game released on PC, the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and the Amazon Luna over the course of a few years. Considered a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie, with that game's team even having been responsible for it, the game features its titular characters, a chameleon named Yooka and a bat named Laylee. The two must work together to reclaim the magical One Book after it is stolen by the greedy CEO Capital B and Dr. Quack.

Using their unique powers, they traverse through a series of different worlds to collect the One Book's "Pagies" and put a stop to the nefarious duo. Over the course of the adventure, they learn new powers, face peculiar challenges, and meet 'unforgettable' characters. The game has a local co-op mode and contains several secrets to search for, such as minigames and collectibles.

It was developed by Playtonic Games and published by Team17. Some critics believed the game was unoriginal and relied too heavily on nostalgia to truly be successful, and reviews on Steam lean positive, though some complain of slow movement in oversized maps, awkward controls, and various technical bugs. However, there is also a considerable amount of praise for the graphics and lovable characters.

In 2019, a spin-off, Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, was released. Unlike the original, this game is a 2.5D platformer, in which the duo aims to stop Capital B from enslaving a kingdom of bees. Like the original, this game holds a plethora of secrets, puzzles, and collectibles, as well as extra challenges for an added layer of playability.

This game plays as more of an homage to games like Donkey Kong Country than Banjo-Kazooie. This game also boasts mostly positive reviews on Steam, with praise on its graphics, overworld, and level design, though, once again, some seem to feel the movement is too slow and a few agree that the final level is quite a challenge. Most critics seem to be in agreement, calling it much more modern and polished, but perhaps a bit too difficult.

Currently, Playtonic is working on a remaster of the original Yooka-Laylee, intended to boast "all new challenges, secrets, mechanics, and accessibility options", as well as a new map and customization options. It also claims there will be a better camera and controls. A release date, as of writing this, has not been announced (that I can find).

My honest opinion when it comes to the A Hat in Time vs Yooka Laylee debate (years after the release of both games and having completed both games multiple times).

I know it’s not a popular stance to have, but personally, while I really like both games, I feel like A Hat in Time is just not as good as Yooka Laylee.

For one thing, A Hat in Time is way too short (particularly if your copy of the game doesn’t have the DLC) and too easy (even with the challenge mode DLC). Yooka Laylee had plenty of content and a lot of challenge to finding every collectible and completing the various tasks. 

The fact that Yooka Laylee had some challenge seems to be the thing that the game’s detractors appear to dislike the most apparently, but I’ll address that later.

Yooka Laylee also accomplished the impressive task of simultaneously recapturing the magic of games like Banjo Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64 while also maintaining an identity of its own with its own unique mechanics. A Hat in Time was kind of schizophrenic in it’s game design. Did the game wanted to be the next Mario Sunshine? Psychonauts? Spyro? Sly Cooper? The gameplay was all over the place. This combined with the game’s short length resulted in A Hat in Time not really having a consistent gameplay identity of its own.

There are other, relatively minor, things that factor into why I personally think Yooka Laylee is superior to A Hat in Time, but those are the primary reasons.

I also want to point out that while I understand why some may prefer A Hat in Time over Yooka Laylee, I do not see the logic behind saying A Hat in Time is “What Yooka Laylee should be” or stating that Yooka Laylee is a bad game. That’s mostly because the majority of critiques towards Yooka Laylee don’t really hold up to much scrutiny. 

A lot of the criticism thrown Yooka Laylee’s way seem to stem from issues that were largely fixed with the pre-release patch, borderline misinformation like how Yooka Laylee has almost three times the amount of collectibles/content compared to A Hat in Time and yet is somehow considered the “empty one” of the two, or just simply not understanding what a collect-a-thon platformer should be.

The fact that people complain that it’s too hard to find some of the collectables in Yooka Laylee does not show me that the game is flawed. It shows me that the game successfully challenged the player. The main crux of platformers like Banjo, DK64, and Yooka is having the player figure out how to navigate every level and complete various tasks in order to get each collectible.

Saying that games like Yooka Laylee and Donkey Kong 64 need features like a map screen/mini map showing where the player needs to go is like saying that beat-em-up action games should have a feature where an A.I. takes control of the player character and does the fighting for you or that a puzzle solving game that just gives you the answer to each puzzle with the press of a button. Way to miss the point by a country mile everyone.

Look, it’s one thing to simply find a game like Yooka Laylee to be not your personal cup of tea. But to say the game is outdated and that the “medium of gaming has evolved beyond the late 1990′s”, your head must be so far up your own ass, you’re getting a second helping of your last meal, alongside your own words.

I want to reiterate that I like both A Hat in Time and Yooka Laylee. Both games are objectively great, no matter how much some of you may quote Jim Sterling or Videogamedunkey’s terrible, half-baked, reviews of Yooka Laylee. If you prefer A Hat in Time, that’s fine. You’re more than free to have your opinion just like I am more than free to have my own. And in my opinion, while certain aspects of A Hat in Time prevent me from calling the game an outright masterpiece, Yooka Laylee is perhaps the best new 3D platformer to come out in over 10 years.

Ah yes, nothing like enjoying a good smoke with your best employee while taking a break from searching for The One Book. Capitalism is great and you are also great, unlike that stinky lizard and that dumb bat. Commission for MercuryJin on DA of their fancharacter Beatrix Goldenwood with Capital B! I really enjoyed working on this a lot, especially with the color palette!
