How it feels

A bright and cheerful platformer that feels like a playful, nostalgic romp through cartoon worlds while hunting for collectibles.

What players say

Players are split on Yooka-Laylee. Some find the open worlds too large and empty, with the need to buy upgrades making exploration feel tedious. Others appreciate it as a competent collectathon, especially for speedrunning and sequence breaking, though movement is called clunky.
