I think they should add an open world and a focus on builing cars and racing. You could call it Yooka Laylee: nuts n bolts

I can't wait to see Arlo's OC in Sonic Forces.

I can't wait for Twoka Laylee to come out so they can try again! And then for Yooka Laythree to never come out.

*Starts watching the video* "Hello my marvelous friends" *I'm marvelous! I have a friend!* *Instant like!*

Im really enjoying your videos arlo! Your channel got everything I enjoy about life, a puppet that remind me of my childhood, entertaining and informativ content, gameplay and a good sense of humor! Thanks allot for that :)

I've posted this elsewhere but it got buried. Just something that really bothers me about the game that I haven't seen anyone mention. I'd love to hear your opinion: Some people have mentioned the worlds feel "empty". I think this is an effect of something else entirely. To me, there is something off about the world scale. It's like the space between everything is slightly larger than it should be, or the size of every object and character is slightly smaller than the world implies. Even the tightest corridors are much much wider than in games like Banjo and Mario 64. The result is that it always seems like you have to travel a lot of distance to get anywhere, even if the time it takes to get there is minimal because Yooka moves very fast. That distance between everything makes it seem like there's empty space everywhere. The ultra wide and far away camera also doesn't help, because it makes Yooka and Layle look really small compared to the world. I think this could have been solved by reducing the world scale by a lot, but keeping objects and characters the same size, thus making the world feel a lot tighter and cohesive. Consequentially, I would reduce Yooka's travel speed to match the world size. The wide camera is good for platforming, but I would pull it closer to Yooka and Laylee to make it feel more like you're there. *PD:* I haven't played the game, this is just what I've felt watching gameplay videos. I do want to play it and plan on buying it once it comes out for the Switch.

Your channel just makes me smile. You're so charming and unique, excited to see more of these reviews and such.

Haha, that last line made me actually laugh out loud😂 This is why I keep watching you, Arlo. Keep it up!

Arlo, after seeing you're tweet about how this doesn't have as much views I am very sad. I love the series and think it's really good. I really hope you continue this series, even if its a 2-3 minute segment of reviews. Honestly, if you like the idea of it, then continue it. I know that this probably won't be seen by you, but I'm clinging to that hope that you will.- A really big fan.

You have been on a role with getting great content out quick. Hats off to ya!

Watching 6 years later. I still can't believe Arlo used to edit so that he had a second hand.

My biggest problem is the energy system. Why is it even needed? Just let us roll forever and fly forever, would that be so OP? (The first boss glitched out for me and the graphics were all over the place, he looked like a pile of sticks or something. Also, he had a big surface starting from him and covering the sky. Am i the only one with this problem?)

I actually found Yooka-Laylee pretty much amazing the way it is. It's funny, games like Crash Bandicoot Nsane Trilogy, people praise it to heaven despite obvious flaws (bordering at unplayable sometimes), but with Yooka-Laylee everyone is extra harsh with every inconvenience.

Youka have a great daylee too, Arlo.

Each issue you mentioned would constructively improve the game! My own ideals for improvement: - more worlds - slightly smaller & more focused worlds - a story that's a *little* more in-depth or makes us care a *bit* more about the quest than "hey go get this book whatever" - more *world-specific* characters more personal preferences: - Banjo-Tooie-style connections between worlds - secret worlds - hidden/bizarre/mysterious/intriguing locales (without an immediately obvious purpose for existing) within existing worlds

"Yoo-kan have a great day-lee."

Hi marvelous Arlo :-) props on the Enya reference lol

I noted that you said "Arlos" in a video or two. Are you AN Arlo, or is just your name Arlo?

That closing comment made me smile like an idiot trying not to laugh! Thanks Arlo!

You really should make this into a series! As for the improvements, I agree with everything you said! If a future sequel ever gets made (it's apperently in development right now), I would like if they made the game feel more modern instead of a new Nintendo 64 game. I think Super Mario Odyssey nails that part perfectly, so Playtonic Games should take a lot of inspiration from that game.

It was a good idea to put this in its own separate video because of the 8 minute length of it...plus ad money. I want to give you it and support your channel.

Cool video idea! Keep them coming.

i love this series and would love to see more of this

I couldn't agree more with your comments on the camera, Arlo! I feel like it fights with me far too much and it needs to just chill and let me control it more. :P

this is why i like arlo. truly constructive criticism. a whole frickin video on constructive feedback.

i made an amino for Arlo because he's my favourite KZfaqr keep up the good work

One of the options in the options menu is to turn off that camera auto follow that you're talking about. You can control the camera solely with the right analog stick. I know it would be nice to have an option in between the twitchy auto follow camera and no follow at all, but at least it's an option. I don't know if this option is from a new patch, but it's in the game now, and it's useful.

I watched the review and I waited for the "How Would I Make it Better?" segment, thank you!

I agree with you Arlo. In addition, I think there should be a task list, like in Jak and Daxter, to help you keep track of which Pagies youve found.

I know everybody says that they have been with a KZfaqr for an "x" amount of time. but I'm proud to have been with Arlo since 3k and I'm so glad to see him blow up

I haven't even played many of the games Arlo talks about, but I enjoy his videos so much that it just overrides that. Strange right?

You always make me smile :)

see, this is why i respect Arlo's Opinion so much. He had his issues with the game, but not only does he accept that there is still fun to be had in the game and its not just a bad game, he also makes a whole video taking about how it could be improved legitimately, with a lot of thought and care. I love that even if i can disagree with his opinion, he still wants to just help make a better gaming experience and talks about how to do that. I commend you Arlo! keep making videos so good! :)

I definitely agree with you about the sliding course. It was frustrating, and it took several attempts for me to complete it. Not only that, but they used some of the same buttons for some of the moves and controls! For instance, they should've used Left Button and Right Button for the Xbox controller.

I love that ENYA is where you went with that.

Wow! Those are some good ideas, hopefully they actually implement the boss and enemy ideas if they make a sequel.

Please DON'T get rid of the "How would I make it better" I love this segment!

Also, the mine cart boss drove me BANANAS! Please tell me I'm not the only one who needed a swear jar near me while trying to beat it.

Your point about the camera is pretty important, as in "I can actually visually see it through a video without playing the game myself" important. It seems like a pretty big oversight on the part of the developers, since it's a basic game design rule that a change in orientation changes the orientation of movement control. Fixed-perspective games utilize tank controls to avoid that very problem, and a non-tank-controlled game like Devil May Cry will lock your directional movement when the camera shifts and not unlock it until you change it on purpose. Other games have suffered issues of a similar nature; when you step onto a balance beam in Sonic Unleashed, for instance, players will often stop abruptly in place because the camera tends to swing violently around to straighten itself out with the beam, which has the unfortunate effect of making it really easy to accidentally fall to your doom at that moment if you don't stop moving in time. It was also a major problem for me when I was recording our channel's Gex: Enter the Gecko playthrough. Weird that they didn't account for that in programming the camera. Hm. - Lewis

I love you talking blue puppet!

I'm telling all my friends what you said, Arlo.

The game looks and feels pretty good. I think it's a solid 'spiritual successor' to Banjo-Kazooie!

I was worried you forgot about this segment! I do miss the theme song though 😂

When I start developing games, I'll have Arlo be the quality control guy!

Lol "Yooka have a good daily!" Channeling your inner Fozzie today I see

great video! as usual =D

Splatoon is a great example of a great extended final boss fight.

Left your channel and you uploaded xD

this was really hard to hear. but i respect your opinion and your straightforward fair perspective so much that i removed the game off my steam wishlist immediately after i watched this. ive seen so many other reviews but still wanted to try it, so sad.

between Arlo and Rope Break, half of my notifications are blue puppets.

Hey arlo, do you know about the Legend of Heroes: Trails series. I think you would love it. It is a jrpg that is pretty linear yes, but the reason you would love it is that it focuses on its world a ton. There are tons of little things to discover from giving a cat milk to reading about the lore in the library, and pieces of character dialogue sprinkled about that makes the game's world feel alive. Check it out if you can.

Arlo if it does fix most of the problems you had Would the patch be enough to raise that 4/7 to a solid 5?

The issue with the flight in my opinion is that Laylee always moves forward, even if you don't touch anything. She doesn't stay in one place, which makes it hard to make sharp turns.

Nice Job! I am a huge fan! Just a suggestion that you should do i video like this for Breath of the Wild.

turn this into a regular series on the channel!

100% agree with all the points mentionned in this video, solid insight and constructive criticism!

Another thing i would fix is the flight power. I think there should be flight pads like in banjo kazooie, or else it’s super easy to give up and then take advantage of the flight power to reach an area instead of having the persistence to explore.

I'd like to think this is the gibberish at the end of the original review "decoded."

love you arlo

Well, when I play the game, yes there are a few camera angle issues and not very tight controls, but I did manage to beat the game with all collectibles in hand. Yes, the boss battles were a bit redundant, but do understand it's a game that revive a old game genre that many assume dead in the mid 2000s. And having the guys that made Banjo-Kazooie from Rare back in the days, they have a lot of catching up to do. Maybe when they do their sequel, I suggest a more open-world possibility that connects all worlds to the hub world like it did with Banjo-Tooie, and actually give the bosses more character development, and a backstory to why they would either help Capital B, or work in their own. And a final thought, to have the Quiz Show AFTER you have completed the other worlds. It was a bit quirky to have the quiz shows during their gameplay, which didn't felt "Banjo-Kazooie-ish." Maybe put it between the final pagie and the final fight against Capital B. This is just my thoughts to all this, but still fun nonetheless.

At 2:52 I would've never expected an Enya reference on this channel! lol

Wait a minute, 3:38 Iceymetric Palace? isometric. Wow that is really creative.

"Yooka have a great Daylee! Too Arlo!"

I appreciate that Arlo gives actual constructive criticism

Hey Arlo, I know your channel is Nintendo-orientated but considering its coming out on the Nintendo Switch and a lot of people are excited about it I wanted to hear your thoughts on Sonic Mania - take a look at the trailers and gameplay footage, it looks like it could be one of the most promising Sonic games of the franchise and perhaps even of this year! It's scheduled release has been delayed from initially being this Spring to now being this Summer but I personally think its good that SEGA are making sure their game is polished before releasing it, I remember a certain Zelda title being delayed only to be absolutely amazing! Anyway, I'm not sure if you are interested in the Sonic series but I think it's an exciting opportunity for fans of Nintendo to see what it is that made Sonic once a worthy rival of Mario and I feel this game will exercise this rivalry as best as any game could, thanks for reading this if you have Arlo.

He actually did it! Yay! This video is nice.

hey Arlo have you ever thought about doing a video on "A Hat in Time"? I think it is something you would like.

First time i saw arlo i legit thought he was skinny cookie monster XD

I was so hyped to hear that half ass intro like on the snake pass video. But it never came....

I want to know your opinion on the updates and how that would change ur rating of the game

You should make this a series. I like the solid constructive criticism in the video. Speaking of solid... No, I'm not doing that joke. But...

The camera made me very motion sick, which is weird cause I've never had motion sickness in VR, irl boats, planes etc .I think it had to do with the sidewards motion of the camera you talked about Arlo. This is a shame cause I was really looking forwards to getting stuck into this game. But it made it quite unplayable for me. If they do update the camera or add 2 stick camera control I will of course check it out again. Though I'm certainly sad it was released like this. It's almost like no one who wasn't the developers tested it. I feel like if testing was done by people not involved in the development of the movement and were not already used to the movement had played the game prior to release this camera issue would have stuck out like a saw thumb! I really hope they fix it. Dx

Good anime episode Arlo!

Honestly, you make good points. Lots of them should've been in the game in the first place. A lot of people talk about "Well they'll fix it in the sequel"......But I don't know if I want a sequel for this.

How can we make Arlo better? It's impossible nothing's better than perfection😉

about the being able to jump while sliding thing. why not make a secondary type of jumping just for when you slide . like a spiral jump that wont let you glide when doing it .

Hey, that reminds me: Have you heard of a game called Lobodestroyo? It's a game kind of like Banjo Kazooie except you play as an anthro wolf who is also a luchador. Not sure when it's supposed to be released though.

Hugging Arlo is my life dream

Regarding the camera being too twitchy - there is a camera sensitivity option in the settings, and I think turning it down is by far the best tweak I made when I went through the game's settings. Highly recommended to anyone else who struggles with an over-responsive camera.

I found turning the camera sensitivity down by about half fixes it. Doesn't fix everything of course, but it made a big difference to me.

great video

As soon as I got the notification I clicked on it. #NotificationSquad

Actually, for slopes, do what Mario Galaxy 2 did: you can jump off slopes but you can't change your direction and you can't do anything (Spinning, ground pounds, ect.). You could do a similar thing for Yooka-Laylee.

I've heard a lot of people say that classic 3D platformers had bad cameras because the camera doesn't stick behind the character at all times. I've always thought that was completely wrong.

The sliding thing is a great point. Banjo-Kazooie had no issue with that. It was a bit exploitable as a result (speedruns, for example, remove the need for the termite transformation), but it was more fun since you still had control.

I replayed 6:38 so many times! This can be said for so many things in so many games.

Arlo can you do your thoughts on the new custom character for sonic forces?

Alto what are your opinions on Tokyo Mirage Sessions

Well, looks like they're ready to give it another go with Replaylee. Hopefully it turns out great 🤞

could ya do one of these for sticker star/color splash?

That pun made me want to inject bleach into my bloodstream

Why do these games with the camera being blocked by the stage issues never make the walls and terrain transparent when it's between the player character and the camera?

I played around with the PS4 version a little, but am waiting to play it on the switch

I Think At 6:47 How About The Floor Being Made Out Of Ice Or A Very Slippy Liquid?

Positive feedback and constructive criticism? What is this madness!? I love it.

Even the unpolished DK64 used analogue controls to the max, with slight pressed causing a highly animated tip-toeing. What an oversight.

Arlo I like watching you.

Yookaa Have a Great Daylee to Arlo.

Hey, Arlo! I loved the video! Have you ever watched Rick and Morty?
