  • As a big fan of Donkey Kong and Banjo Kazooie, I'm excited to give to you my Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair review!

    Watch my first Yooka Laylee review here: • Yooka Laylee | The Com...
    It's wonderful to see a modern platformer game that truly has the spirit of the classics I grew up with. Now I know Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze came out as well, but with a relatively new IP Playtonic games has done exceptional work. In a way, I do feel like this game was created just for me. Everything from the first Yooka Laylee game was polished and improved, creating a new game that has 20 levels with "B-sides" modes that change up the gameplay. With all the features, secrets, and charm Yooka Laylee 2 has, I can see this becoming a "forever game" of mine.

      LIVE SHOW HYPE!!!
      Excuse that outburst, at first i was really confused why the next Yooka-Laylee game was a 2d platformer, and it wasn't until seeing this that i realized it's a DKC game. I was gonna sleep on this game until there was a half-off sale, and i might *still* not get it just yet, as I am still going through some secondary playthroughs of FE3H... But as soon as I finish that, I think I'll dive right in!

    Playtonic actually rolled out an update that makes getting the Golden Try less tedious. You now just flip a switch outside the Lair and you can access it bee-less at any point in the game. And they confirmed that you can get the Golden Try at any point this way, without starting a new save and going through the tutorial again.

      That’s bs! I get the idea of a perfect run, without the protection, on the hardest level, but you won’t beat that level without practice! There should just be an option to leave the beetalion behind so you can retry the level more frequently. That makes me mad just thinking about it! Like the most tedious process between sr for a shiny Pokémon.

      Like, it was so bad, I literally had someone come into one of my streams of the game, telling me I should request a refund because I was sold something that was taken back. As if I backed the game exclusively for an incredibly insignificant easter egg, a cameo from someone I don't particularly care about.
      How was the actual game? I enjoyed it. It was a fun 28 hours. It's not Banjo Threeie, but it's not *bad*. The worst thing I can say about it is that I wish there was more.

      You're not wrong; he does sit around playing games all the time. That's his job. That doesn't mean it's not _work_, and THAT's what we were discussing here. I'd say sitting for 62 hours on the same thing over and over again is pretty mentally taxing. And that's just playing the game. Apart from that, he does a lot of other things when it comes to running the business and producing the videos. Most of that has him sitting down, but the same can be said for more or less any office job.
      In any case, we might not see eye-to-eye on this and that's fine. I just think there's a bit more to it than what you're saying, but eh. I suppose it doesn't matter.

    I feel like the cumbersome nature of the "Impossible Lair" level could have been fixed by introducing a choice system upon entering the level after the initial attempt.
    "Would you like to storm the Impossible Lair with the Beetallion?
    -YES! Let's go! (x out of 48 assembled)
    -I'll do it myself!
    -Not yet."
    Selecting "I'll do it myself!" would bring up some sort of prompt like;
    "Are you sure? It'd be much easier to get through it with the Beetallion at your back.
    -Yes! I can do it!
    -I'm not sure..."
    From there, it would restart normally if you die on the level.

  • @justanotherreviewer

    Not throwing shade; I’m a huge fan of the Completionist, but I think it’s important to mention that most of the music for this game was not composed by Grant Kirkhope and David Wise. Not a huge deal, but I just wanna give credit where credit is due because the main composers hadn’t ever worked on a DKC game and yet came out with a great soundtrack nonetheless.

    I have an impossible game for Jirard. Star Ocean: Till The End of Time. There is an in-game achievement for beating the final boss with a team of level 1's. Which is impossible.

      You just need to use synthesis a LOT. Final boss is easy compared to how many of the games bonus bosses. Like lenneth. (Gets PSTD at the thought of Nibelung Valesti)

    This game is so packed with bee puns that they start to emanate into other languages by accident.
