I know that the year isn’t done yet, and it might be a little early to start naming games the best of the year, but for me, I’m hooked beyond belief to Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair. I adore this game, and can’t shake the feeling that it was made for people just like me: those who grew up with platformers, and want to revisit that joyous nostalgia of running and jumping on perfect level designs. I love this game completely and cannot see anything topping it.
This game makes up for the first game's shortcomings, it rare to have a platforming game this good outside of Nintendo's own first party offerings.The Impossible Lair is very balanced between inspiring from the best, introducing its own ideas and building its own identity. it is one of the most unique games of its genre in the last years.

Bought this game on a whim one day, did not expect to play one of the best 2D platformers since Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze. Every level is a joy to play through with amazing design, plus the 2 side of every stage gimmick is pulled off really well, with almost all of them feeling completely different. Needless to say, go buy this game, it's good lol.

After inheriting the Banjo-Kazooei's 3D environmental platforming DNA, now Yooka y Laylee goes behind the 2D skin of Donkey and Diddy Kong. The chamaleonic Playtonic proves their mastery going back to its Rare legacy, offering a very sweet and enjoyable platform game that tastes like classic honey.
A much more inventive and thoughtful affair than the duo's previous outing, Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is the closest you'll get to Donkey Kong Country on PS4 and you should embrace it with the accordant warmth.
A polished, challenging and colourful 2D platform game that recalls the best of Donkey Kong Country on the SNES, even if it doesn’t really move beyond it.
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is a work of great courage and respect for the platform genre. It is not revolutionary but manages to be a simple, but refined pastime made with all the trappings of the genre.
These bugs and the small amount of content make Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair feel a bit rushed. The levels mostly all look the same, the alternate stages feel like padding, and the Impossible Lair gimmick is definitely going to be divisive for platforming fans. Its biggest issue, though, is that the platforming isn't nearly as precise as the games that inspired it. It has enough unique ideas that some platforming fans may still want to check it out after a price drop, but don't expect to be blown away.
I was really surprised by how good this game is. If you like Donkey Kong, you'll love this game. For me personally Yooka-Laylee is even better, since it has a funny and charming story, as well as a great overworld in the style of topdown zeldas, were you can solve a lot interesting puzzles. The tonics can be a nice change in the gameplay that can make the game harder or easyer, just as the player prefers and bring in a lot of Eastereggs to early days of gaming.
Don't believe the bad reviews, there is no dlc, the framerate is smooth and i didn't experience any bugs.
I can only recommend the game.

Extremely entertaining world, but too difficult. That is, difficult up to the point that it becomes annoying (to little incapable me then that is). I guess that this is the skill level the creators wanted to set with this game, but the game is not really advertised as such, so I did not expect this. But, final verdict, super enjoyable non the less! Definitely worth a run through!

It was worth the buy but is not a very memorable game. I would give it a chance if it is on sale.

Bought it for my 5 years old kid... he and I are both struggling it.
First, the game is very text based, obviously, young children can't read... to make things worse the game even quiz you about these texts and you have to pass them to proceed.
Also the classic camera that should help young player doesn't work well.
Some of the mechanisms are clear enough.
No aim or platform edge assists exists and this makes the game very frustrating.
I wouldn't recommend buying this game unless in serious sell.
