While I do think this game is a bit overhated by Rare fans, I personally wasn't too fond of it. It doesn't fit Banjo-Kazooie at all and even though I did get some enjoyment out of building vehicles in this game, I wouldn't exactly call it my cup of tea either. It doesn't help that the worlds are even more bloated than Tooie and also quite lifeless. Even with those issues in mind, there were at least some neat throwbacks and fun moments sprinkled in and exploring Showdown Town was cool and one of the best parts of the game. Showdown Town is the best hubworld in the series and world in the game except for Banjoland. The final boss is a total joke and a disappointment compared to the first game and Tooie. In conclusion, its an interesting concept but the whole vehicle aspect of the game is something that I didn't care for and it doesn't fit Banjo-Kazooie at all. Nuts & Bolts should have been a Lego title or a brand new ip. If Rare & Microsoft ever decide to revive this series, I suggest they do remasters of the first two in the same approach Activision took with the Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy or hand the series over to a competent studio that can make a new game that is similar to the originals and has the potential to live up to the legacy they left behind.
