As a big fan of Donkey Kong and Banjo Kazooie, I'm excited to give to you my Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair review!
Subscribe: bit.ly/SubscribeThatOneVideoGamer
Watch my first Yooka Laylee review here: • Yooka Laylee | The Com...
It's wonderful to see a modern platformer game that truly has the spirit of the classics I grew up with. Now I know Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze came out as well, but with a relatively new IP Playtonic games has done exceptional work. In a way, I do feel like this game was created just for me. Everything from the first Yooka Laylee game was polished and improved, creating a new game that has 20 levels with "B-sides" modes that change up the gameplay. With all the features, secrets, and charm Yooka Laylee 2 has, I can see this becoming a "forever game" of mine.
Let me know what you think about my Yooka Laylee review!

LIVE SHOW HYPE!!! Excuse that outburst, at first i was really confused why the next Yooka-Laylee game was a 2d platformer, and it wasn't until seeing this that i realized it's a DKC game. I was gonna sleep on this game until there was a half-off sale, and i might *still* not get it just yet, as I am still going through some secondary playthroughs of FE3H... But as soon as I finish that, I think I'll dive right in! Keep up the great work Jirard, you'll always be the best youtuber in my eyes!

Playtonic actually rolled out an update that makes getting the Golden Try less tedious. You now just flip a switch outside the Lair and you can access it bee-less at any point in the game. And they confirmed that you can get the Golden Try at any point this way, without starting a new save and going through the tutorial again.

If David Szymanski ever does DUSK 2, he'll probably have a super secret level that only unlocks if you beat ALL levels on DUSKMARE difficulty. For clarification, DUSKMARE difficulty makes you a one-hit wonder. (Please don't actually do that, David. Jirard's got enough health problems as is.) Also, Jirard should definitely complete DUSK. Even though DUSKMARE is still a feature in the game, you only have to play through A level on DUSKMARE to get the relevant achievement.

Cue the review-bombs and internet rage patrols. Like, it was so bad, I literally had someone come into one of my streams of the game, telling me I should request a refund because I was sold something that was taken back. As if I backed the game exclusively for an incredibly insignificant easter egg, a cameo from someone I don't particularly care about. How was the actual game? I enjoyed it. It was a fun 28 hours. It's not Banjo Threeie, but it's not *bad*. The worst thing I can say about it is that I wish there was more.

@@JosGNG187 That seems awfully reductionistic. I think there's a lot more to it than that. He's running a business after all. That's work. "playing video games for a living" can also be a right pain in the ass. Ask any game tester, or in this case; any completionist. 62 hours on a single level again and again? That's pretty insane.

@Focie 4 жыл бұрын

@@briankeys5941 Alright, fair enough. The word is supposed to be "Reductionist", but I doubt that was enough to make me sound like "an HP Lovecraft character". Still, you're arguing my word rather than the point itself, which is kind of missing the point. You're not wrong; he does sit around playing games all the time. That's his job. That doesn't mean it's not _work_, and THAT's what we were discussing here. I'd say sitting for 62 hours on the same thing over and over again is pretty mentally taxing. And that's just playing the game. Apart from that, he does a lot of other things when it comes to running the business and producing the videos. Most of that has him sitting down, but the same can be said for more or less any office job. In any case, we might not see eye-to-eye on this and that's fine. I just think there's a bit more to it than what you're saying, but eh. I suppose it doesn't matter.

Same. I also regret skipping Yooka-Laylee when it first came out! It was one of the Xbox Gold games this month fortunately and I'm super happy I got to finally play it. Loved it and can't believe such a great game got so much backlash. People are weird. I played Impossible Lair first though and yeah, it's the even better game. A masterpiece, only outclassed in the genre by Tropical Freeze (which I personally think is the greatest 2D platformer of all time).

@Supermutant6112 4 жыл бұрын

I feel like the cumbersome nature of the "Impossible Lair" level could have been fixed by introducing a choice system upon entering the level after the initial attempt. "Would you like to storm the Impossible Lair with the Beetallion? -YES! Let's go! (x out of 48 assembled) -I'll do it myself! -Not yet." Selecting "I'll do it myself!" would bring up some sort of prompt like; "Are you sure? It'd be much easier to get through it with the Beetallion at your back. -Yes! I can do it! -I'm not sure..." From there, it would restart normally if you die on the level.

the overworld in this game was what really sold me on the game.

I don't get why people claim this game is nostalgic, it resembles much more the modern DKC rather than the old DKC. I'm good with that, I prefer modern DKC, however I wouldn't describe this game as "nostalgic", is just a great platformer.
