the early reviews for Yooka Laylee are coming in, and it isn't what most had hoped. The game seems to be hovering arounf 6-7 out of 10, which is okay but certainly not what people are expecting
From what I've heard, it scratches the itch people have for those late 90s platformers, but it doesn't really expand upon the genre. Kind of like a half baked Shovel Knight. The throwback feel is there, but modern amenities are missing.
I'm pretty sure it's just received a patch:
Yooka-Laylee patch targets camera issues and performance
I checked out a gamexplain video with the patch, seems the game still needs another or maybe a 3rd one.
makes me glad I have Gamefly
I wonder if those problems will be fixed already for the Switch version or if they'll keep them and just make a patch. That would be a weird decision though.
Seems that the tech is part of the problem - dodgy camera in places etc ruining peoples experience. Shame, because I was really looking forward to it.
