Funny collectathon with much variation
Note: remake "Yooka Replaylee" is announced. 73206 backers crowdfunded Capital B(ee)'s book corp "Hivory Towers" who pulls off the biggest book heist of history. Yooka & Laylee range the worlds to catch the dispersed pagies of their magic book. I sincerely recommend this 3D platformer. It plays natively on 11th Gen i5 on (Garuda) Linux, fluently with half-VSync ingame option. I miss only 4 pagies to 100%. Sadly, only XBOX controller support. Hence I use `xboxdrv -c --evdev ` with GameCube controller. Config includes mimic-xpad, silent and Z mapped to left thumbstick click. Tip: hold Y for fast dialogs. good things: - high gameplay variation (from shooting, transformations, underwater movement and flying to invisibility, even invincibility) - old school 3D platformer exploration, working controls - worlds are big, not huge - many funny references, dialogs, events - quizzes, classic minigames (8 in total), e.g. racing-, shooting-, runner- or flappy-bird-like, some with 1 to 4 players - nice animations, 3D graphics and music - manageable difficulty, no limited lives in between: - "voice effects", no verbal voicing - high number of collectibles - unlockable extended world content after first play - self-ironic about its artificial logic - gameplay-focused story with cutscenes - no co-op bad things: - repeat long boss fights after dying, no tips - many times minimal or no clues what to do, where to collect things or do challenges. At the end, finding needles in a haystack. - some pagies and pirate treasures are hard to find - backtracking previous worlds, moveset is unlocked progressively - invisible lethal world boundaries - oh my sanity, all backers in the credits missing: - 2D world maps with detected collectibles (only statistics available) - better tips for unfound collectibles (only unlockable extra with catcalling-like SFX indication) - fast travel system (you can only go back to the hub world) - pirate treasure statistics
