I’ve liked a game so much I bought it on all three consoles it was available on ($25 indie game with the third copy being $15 cuz I caught it on sale by pure luck, so I didn’t spend like $180 on one game), solely to support the creators 😅
Bobby Shewan Blasphemous. Incredible Metroidvania with a really dark twist on religious art from the developer’s home country, Spain. Everything about it is amazing; atmosphere, gameplay mechanics (primarily the combat, being a game that forces you to learn to how to parry/riposte), the artwork and animation, everything. If you like Castlevania even in the slightest, you would love this game.
You play as the titular arcade character Lanky Kong and his accomplice, Kiddy Kong as they travel through several l o n g worlds to defeat the nefarious King K. Stool and rescue your precious apple horde
Don’t worry, Daddy Caddy, the bee-vine was adorable. Just like the bees. Glad I’m not the only one who likes the little buzzers beecause their buzziness is really important to the planet.
"I demand pictures" *shows a picture of the man who does that for a living* I legit feel bad for Jirard, he HATED doing the Impossible Lair without bees lol
"Those are some tight hitboxes! Yooka Laylee is better than Dark Souls II!" I laughed at this so loud I had to take a deep breath to calm down. Caddy's not wrong tho, anything is better than DS2's hitboxes.
Isn't dark souls known for its immersive, responsive and reaction based yet challenging and punishing combat? Poor hit detection in such a game is a recipe for disaster.
"The US Netflix line up is so much better than the UK" -European "The UK Netflix line up is so much better than the US" -American "Wait you have Netflix?" -Everyone else

Here’s the thing Caddy. From everything you’ve said, it sounds like Impossible Lair controls closer to the original trilogy in terms of weight and feel than Retro’s games. Not to say they aren’t great games too, but they did alter a lot in terms of overall game feel. I’d say give the SNES games a shot with the way you’re talking
I never even considered trying this game, but this review has given more thought towards it. Heck, I even went and bought the soundtrack on Bandcamp, and it's pretty good!
A Stereotypical Picture Of A French Man I loved his reaction to seeing the bee proposing to the mouse. X3 I didn’t know of the video he showed of him fanboying over the bees. Now I need to find it.
"I Think It Would Have BEEn Much HUNNIer To Use That One, And Because You Didn't Use That, I Think There's SomeSTING Wrong With Your BUZZiness!!" I laughed so hard lol! 😂😂😂
As someone who also really liked the first Yooka-Laylee, I love the Impossible Lair as well. Every point you made in this video is spot on, especially the soundtrack. The Soundtrack is extraordinary, but I honestly didn't expect anything less. My absolute favorite little thing in this game is this 80's Rock track when Pagie Power is activated along with the record scratch when it's over. Oh, and of course the bee puns, who doesn't enjoy them?
It seems everytime you say "Donkey Kong Country" you mean "Donkey Kong Country Returns", since many aspects you mentioned that you dislike are absent in the original trilogy
I would say yes and no. I played classic DKC recently and he is right you have momentum and weight. However he isn't crippled without a companion like the new games.
Had to finally buy this game.. I wasn’t disappointed. Hours of fun, but can be frustratingly addictive. Controls are so tight and enjoyable to play. So satisfying when you find those twit coins as well as completing the level to free a bee. Such an underrated game, same as the first
Jordanthehumanhedgehog It does, I instantly thought of that too! He was so happy~ I need to go and find that video he showed now. He loves bees so much~
That abrupt car crash of an ending to the "internet breaking in" skit was definitely unexpected, but refreshing. xD Sometimes you don't need to properly end a skit. Sometimes you just gotta throw it on the ground and say "looks done".
Playing this one way late but enjoying it immensely. Honestly agree that in least compared to DKC Tropical Freeze and Returns I personally enjoy this one quite more so far. DKC2 does have a really special place in my heart though.
i had NEVER EVEN HEARD of this game before. And, somehow, you convinced me to watch 30 minutes of platforming and bee puns... Dude, I love this channel, keep up the amazing work!!!
Just read the SCP where there was a journal where the author thought and considered everything as bees. Couldnt help but think of this seeing your old vine.
Indeed, there are also more people from the original snes trilogy involved in YL than the newer dkc games. You can also see it in the darker tone visual style in most of the levels just like the original DKC. I would go as far as saying that: "YL is more DKC than the new DKC games"
Super old comment, but I noticed that, too. Things he said about control being slippery and losing abilities when you lose your different Kong buddies don’t really apply to the SNES era games. I enjoyed Yooka Laylee myself, quite a bit, but I have never felt more control over a 2D platforming character than I did with Diddy Kong on the SNES.
Grant only did 5 songs on the soundtrack (The overworld music). The majority of the soundtrack is composed by Playtonic's in-house composers Matt Griffin and Dan Murdoch, with a few tracks done by David Wise.
@@Forstride Not to mention that all 5 of Grant's tracks are different versions of the same composition, so he technically only composed 1 piece of music for this game.
I'm glad you covered how the controls differ from the DKC games. The other reviews I saw didn't really dig into that and that was my biggest concern with the game since DK feels like I'm trying to control a gorilla wearing a tie. Which is appropriate, but still.
The 2 newcomers did an excellent job with the soundtrack by capturing the sound experience we had with David Wise and Grant Kirkhope in DKC and B&K while sound like their own! I loved this game! Great vid!
8:00 So the roll works like classic DKC? Seriously though, he is right when he says it feels better. Retro really never needed to change that to begin with. I guess they did it so DK’s momentum felt heavier, but part of the classic trilogy’s fun was that the roll could be used to plow through sections if you knew how to use it. And not just a matter of hoping you can keep your partner
MauLer liked Yooka-Laylee. He did a very long multi-part series critiquing it. It puts every reviewer that disliked it for not being Banjo-Kazooie to shame.
“Yooka Laylee & the Impossible Lair is better than the new Donkey Kong Country games” - Caddy, 2019 WoooWIE that’s a big claim! I might give it a shot for that alone! 😧
The no bees challenge reminds me of the final level of 140. My brother did that level, after weeks of attempts. We cheered so loud and my brother legit cried like he'd become a father.
I am more of an OG-Yooka Laylee, Spyro-esque kind of 3D platformer lover, but I DO like Crash games, too, so I wonder if I'd like this. lol. Will probs try the first game first (after watching your vid on it, ofc), and then see! This was great! Love it! Thanks so much for this!
Fun fact: David Wise, one of the great composers of this game, worked on Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2's music! That also explains why the music in this game is really good!
I dunno man, the fact that I'm Irish and that Caddy is English, I get SO many more of the references he makes, when compared to American youtubers. GOD that's fantastic.
Ya know, if you want to compare this to a DKC game "because they're both made by (ex-)Rare", maybe you want to actually USE an actual Rare-made DKC for that, and not Returns and Tropical Freeze, which were not?
The thing about the reverse controller having low payout is that you can just switch the controls in the menu, so it’s not hard, it’s about being smart.

Bees are cool (except when they sting you, which never happened to me)
It’s the wasps that are assholes
I got stung by a bee ONCE. I was barefoot and stepped on it by accident. I was heading to a pool anyway, so that took some of the pain away.

I wish someone would just clip that joke
Me: Sees reference to Jirard the Completionist in the video.
Also me: sees the next video loaded up as The Completionist's run through this game

Your so right. Legit sounds identical to the original trilogy.

You disappoint me Caddy.

I would say yes and no. I played classic DKC recently and he is right you have momentum and weight. However he isn't crippled without a companion like the new games.
Donky Kong Country Returns is better than Tropical Freeze
I honestly thought the snake was called Trouser because he's a snake and can't wear trousers.
*cries* I'm so innocent
Mysterious Kitten Or because can only wear the one trouser leg because snake. You're not alone.
I thought that too! I thought it was a comical joke 😊
Consider me old fashioned but I love how there are new waves of games that keep the side scrolling platform sub-genres alive and kicking
marsella527 Of course this genre is still doing great
3:30 Daley Kong's Bee! Apparently some of the bees, or all of em, idk which, are based on members of Playtonic!
I personally think that he's the funniest when he breaks the 4th wall "Nice Job Word" for example 😂
David Wise is on the soundtrack team. No wonder that guitar track is slaying.
Goodness, Granr Kirkhope in the first game, David Wise in the second. My two favorite composers.
I can now die happy.
Oh that's my favorite track in this game lol
3:47 Caddy sounding like the Chamberlain from The Dark Crystal show.
Or the movie.

True dat.
Glad I wasn’t the only one thinking 'Caddylain?'
Plus the recording was from the time before the show was even announced.
I bought the first one for my love of Banjo Kazooie, and I'll by this one for my love of Yooka-Laylee.
So if the first game was Banjo, and this is DKC, what’s next? Yooka-Laylee and the Golden Eye? Yooka-Laylee and the Dark Perfection?
Yooka-Laylee’s Bad Fur Day
Just not Yooka-Laylee: Screws and Nails or Yooka-Laylee w/ Kinect or something like that.

GRANT DID THIS SOUNDTRACK. OF COURSE ITS GOOD
People aren't giving Matt Griffin enough credit. This is his debut game and he composed a lot of the best tracks of the whole thing.
Also David Wise is here, the DK Country composer!

Caddy I JUST had a nightmare about bee's.
How is this game related to October? Well, *_the possibility of Playtonic not making another Yooka-Laylee game is absolutely TERRIFYING._*
They could've easily called it "Tooka-Laylee" tbh and thinking about it now that's a little disappointing
That's too on-the-nose.
@KeybladeMasterAndy And Banjo-Tooie wasn't?
Yes, and that would have led perfectly into "Yooka-Laythree."
This game is just begging to Bee a Speedrun
Fun fact: David Wise, one of the great composers of this game, worked on Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2's music! That also explains why the music in this game is really good!
It's great to see Playtonic getting some love. They have suuuch potential and I hope to god they keep making games until I'm dead
This video just made me interested in these games. I got it for my niece a couple of years ago and had never played it.
