I can’t bee-lieve we have a spiritual companion to the Donkey Kong Country games made by those very devs, but I’m glad it exists. The eponymous level is certainly tough, but playing through the game honed my skills so I could bee-t it with some hits to spare. Overall, the game has certainly earned a bee-plus rating! Did I meet the pun quota yet?
The levels are well designed with their adaptive difficulty to get the 5 coins in addition to "beating" the level. The level modifiers are also great (each level has a variation that can suffer big changes) Also, the overworld is entertaining since there are puzzles and secrets to discover. The humour is there but sometimes it gets weird or too much in your face. The music is also amazing. If you enjoyed Donkey Country Tropical Freeze (the only DK game I played prior to writing this review), I think you will enjoy this game.
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is a joy from start to finish. The music is fantastic and instantly memorable, and it pairs perfectly with the game's bright, charming art style. Every level oozes personality, and the sheer creativity on display kept me curious about what the next stage would throw at me. The visuals are colorful and polished, and across my entire playthrough I never ran into a single bug or any lag, which made the whole experience feel smooth and well-crafted. My favorite part is the concept behind the Impossible Lair itself. I love that the final level is brutally difficult yet available to attempt from the very start. It flips the usual progression on its head and gives you this looming challenge you can chip away at or dive straight into whenever you feel bold enough. It is a genuinely clever design choice that sets the game apart. On the downside, I really wish there had been an achievement for beating the Lair hitless, something like an ULTIMATE CHALLENGE reward. Pulling that off would have felt incredible, and having recognition for it would have been the perfect cherry on top. A few collectables were also more annoying to grab than they needed to be, mostly because of where the checkpoints were placed. And some levels run noticeably longer than others, though that is more of a personal pet-peeve than a real flaw. The intro screen also drags on just slightly too long for my taste. None of that holds the game back much, though. This is a stylish, creative, and beautifully made platformer that is well worth your time.
It's got the Yooka. It's got the Laylee. Dude, there is a beet-red snake named Trowzer in the game. I thought to myself, "Why Trowzer?" The only thing that I could think of was that it was a reference to Bowser from Super Mario Bros. But that seemed like a stretch. It just didn't make sense. But then I realized the filthy, disgusting truth. TROWZER SNAKE. They named him trouser snake. In the game with the bright colors and the anthropomorphic talking objects with big googly eyes they slipped in a dirty ol' trouser snake. Slipped it right in there. Just went and flung that dirty old thing right in the middle of this kids' game with the shamelessness of a disgruntled Disney animator from the 1930s (y'know when Mickey was infamously trondling his hot rod with a cheesewheel as soon as the opportunity presented itself). Five stars.
