And here Playtonic shows that they are able to create really good games, after the first Yooka-Laylee being a "for the fans of N64 collect-a-thons".

By adhering to 2.5D mechanic (such as DKC series), they have found their great strength - good controls, good levels, and INSANELY AMAZING MUSIC! My god, they did a wonderful job with the music on this - kudos again to David Wise/Grant Kirkhope/Matt Griffin and Dan Murdoch.

However, the game is not perfect. Some levels are kind of tiring to go through, and some difficulty spikes are unfair sometimes - the Impossible Lair is almost impossible (well, at least the name for this is OK). I shelved the game with only the last level to complete, but I've managed to complete all the other ones.

Please do give this game a try if you have an opportunity (Xbox Game Pass is a good way to play)
