PC Port: There is no keybinding that I can see, and the options menu is incredibly lacking. I believe Playtonic rushed out the game to release and be compatible on a large variety of platforms at once. I HIGHLY recommend playing this game with a controller as using the keyboard is frustrating and involves a lot of trial and error to learn what every button is mapped to. Graphics: It's colorful and vibrant. The character designs are all very clever, and I personally found a lot of charm and heart in it. There were some animation bugs that I noticed, in particular with NPCs, and some rough, stretched textures and low-poly models. It definitely feels like a previous-gen game in some regards. Sound: It is about what you'd expect from a Banjo-Kazooie successor. The way I tend to judge the quality of video game music is whether or not I would enjoy listening to it on its own. I can say about 75% of the Yooka-Laylee OST passes this "test" with me. Some of the tracks, however, are a bit too "noisy" for my tastes. Some people might find the way the characters "talk" to be annoying, but I find it a nice throwback to the old Banjo games. Writing/Story: Lots of puns and breaking the fourth wall. I think it's funny, others might not. Cutscenes aren't skippable (correct me if I'm wrong), which is frustrating, but they got me to chuckle. Gameplay: I am enjoying it. I feel that some level designs and puzzles are a little weak in comparison to the original Banjo games and I don't feel as "immersed" in these worlds than I did in Banjo-Tooie. Camera can be a little wonky. I don't like the quiz sections. I enjoy collecting things, however, and learning new abilities and visiting old worlds. Over-all: It's charming and enjoyable. I think it needed another year to polish it up though. The Banjo franchise is a hard thing to live up to. Keep your expectations tempered and you'll probably enjoy Yooka for what it is. -1 star for bad PC port, -1 star for other minor annoyances.
