Oh boy... where to start with this.

Maybe it was a mistake to play this before have ever touched a Banjo-Kazooie game, but maybe it was just fine that way. I will do this later. So I have nothing to compare it with and just take it for what it is.

I somehow don't really know why I didn't enjoy this. maybe the annoying voices and mean jokes of Laylee, maybe the horrible control of camera, that partly just gets stuck. Maybe the fact, that you sometimes don't see where you're jumping, maybe the retrojokes and minigames at arcade machines, collectibels, character design, bad jokes ... I could go on...

I appreciate the game for what it tries to do. It takes some old ideas and tries to put them into a new game. You have 5 levels that are all different from each other so it should never get boring, but it somehow still does. The game urges you to research pretty much every level very closley and it let's you revisit old levels because of new abilities. All this could be very well done but for all the reasons mentioned above, it just is not. What a shame...
