Not Quite Banjo 3 But...
It's still pretty good. It even does some things better than Banjo. Like for example, transformations are more consistently fun and useful, well, except for the first one. First transformation is pretty weak, but the rest are at least decent/good, and are used to get more than just one or two Pagies in a world. The last two world's transformations are definitely my favorites. The game got understandably a bit dumbed down from Banjo in some ways, like for example, you no longer need to collect items such as eggs, or red or gold feathers to use certain moves, as that can get a bit tiresome. Instead, you have a recharging energy meter, which can also be increased from certain hidden collectables, same as with your health. The game even has a Tonic system to provide different effects, they are unlocked by completeing certain tasks. The 1 additional health tonic, and collectable detector tonic are quite useful, although only 1 tonic can be equipped at a time. The detector tonic is incredibly useful for completionists, especially towards the end of the game and you're only missing small scraps of things. The worlds start out fairly big, and can be expanded by spending some pagies by standing on the pedastal at the entrance of the world. This will make the world bigger and thus have more pagies and other stuff to do and collect. The worlds can be a bit too massive at times, and it can be easy to lose track of things, again, detector tonic comes in handy at times if you need it. Not quite the "Banjo-Threeie" of our dreams, but not bad at all, minus some small nitpicks and some weak minigames, etc.
Is this helpful to you?
