I don't understand where most of the negative feedback is coming from. This is very much a faithful 3D platformer akin to the original Banjo Kazooie games. The writing is clever and hilarious, the levels are expansive (and can be kind of empty at parts, but not terribly), the boss fights are fun, the skills are great and easy to use, and I love the progression. Overall great game, cheaper than anything that came out on N64, and absolutely worth it if you were a fan of the classic platform collectathons.

A good first entry in a new series. Fun, charismatic and with many cool ideas. Nice characters and worlds, decent challenges, great soundtrack. Had some issues right after the release but several of them were addressed with patches. The one thing I don't like, however, is that the levels become absolutely MASSIVE after you fully unlock them. The moveset helps exploring them with ease regardless of that, so if you like big open worlds, you'll love it. But I prefer my playing area a bit more concise.

An excellent game, similar to a 3d metroidvania without combat, and perfectly suited to kids and adults alike. The native Mac version of the game has game breaking bugs ( at least on Apple silicon ) but the windows version works fine with crossover (!).

If you're a fan of the old school collect-a-thon style 3D platformers I can almost guarantee you'll find something you like in this game. While it does have it's warts (no fast travel to different levels or locations in levels) it's definitely still a fun game!

This recommend hinges entirely upon the fact that I got this for around 3 dollars. The game is okay. Great for the price but okay if not on sale. There's almost none of the old sass or witty dialogue from the Banjo games even though they're trying so hard for it. Dialogue speed is atrociously slow. So much so I had to turn off the continuous voice because it was driving me insane. I 'accidentally' started boss encounters for Chapter 1, 4 and 5. The fact that 4's boss is contingent on you doing and completing the Kartos mini game is kind of wild. I know it's a collecathon and you're expected to do that but weird choice. Enemies might as well not be there. For the majority of the game I just ran past them. On the off chance a Pagie required that I needed to defeat them then it took seconds to dispatch them and get the Pagie. Chapter 4 boss and Final Boss also don't follow the Rule of 3's and are tedious and dragged out. The music is also just not it. I described it to a friend that it's as if they hired people off Fiverr to get it done. It's 'competent' but just forgettable and one note. The fact Kirkhope is labeled as a Composer is weird as it really doesn't show. Overall it's an okay game if you want to do a collecathon. There's not that many out there and very few will be made. Look for it on sale and you'll only pay below 5 bucks for something that took me almost 13 hours to 100%. Decent time to cost ratio for an okay time. Or wait for Yooka-RepLaylee.
