A step up from the original game! I certainly had my fun with it back in 2017ish but there were a lot of small problems that ended up stacking up to create a game that felt very unpolished. This remake/remaster/whatever this is really alleviates pretty much every problem point from the original game; the controls feel much smoother, the levels are packed with things to do, and all the especially stupid stuff (the quizzes, the arcade minigames, the minecart minigames) were either improved drastically or removed outright (I don't miss those quizzes and I don't think anybody else does either). If I were to criticize a bit, the game feels frictionless to a fault. It's not necessarily that it was easy, since I don't think this game needs to be hard. It's more that things have been SO streamlined that there were almost no points where I felt the game pushing against me. I think keeping some stuff that was relegated to tonics like fall damage as default would go a long way, as well as giving you more inventive to revisit levels. You can 100% every level on your first visit, which is nice, but it means it's easy to go through levels and then discard them when you're done. I think reworking the system from the original game where you expand levels could've been a way to help with this; it was a pretty bad system in the original game since the optimal way to do it was to just expand every level before you enter it, but it's an interesting concept that I think could've been fleshed out in a way that made it feel like a feature, not a bug. There were also some minor performance issues here and there, and I could've done with a few less pagies that were just "find it sitting somewhere" or "pound the ground in this specific spot" (the game is very Mario Odyssey in that way), but all in all this was a really enjoyable game and I recommend it if you're a fan of platformers!

I liked Yooka-Laylee, especially the idea of it being the spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie. But while it was fun, it didn’t feel quite polished, the movement was sometimes clunky, and the giant worlds felt a bit empty. Yooka-Replaylee fixes all of this, and it’s way more fun because of it. If you liked the original, you’ll definitely like this one even more. If you didn’t like the original, maybe you will now, as it fixes many of the issues most players had with that game. If you didn’t play the original, this release is the best way to experience it. There’s a free demo you can try out, so you can “feel” how the game plays for yourself. It’s kind of both a remaster and a remake. Besides the points I mentioned before, the game also looks much more beautiful, feels much smoother, and the wonderful soundtrack by Grant Kirkhope got new orchestral versions. This was one of my favorite things about the original game, and it’s nice they gave it some well-deserved extra shine here. Other quality-of-life improvements include fast travel points, the whole moveset unlocked from the beginning (so no more backtracking!), a better UI, and better tonics that allow you to customize your own preferences and difficulty. For example, there’s one where you only have one HP, or one that gives you more HP. There’s also some fun stuff like superhero landings, googly-eyed enemies, a retro look, and more. But the levels themselves also have much more content. There are more Pagies to collect, you can buy cool customizations with the coins you collect (I really like this, it gives the characters way more charm!), and the arcade sections are completely overhauled and are much more fun now as well. So even though I played the original and normally don’t like replaying games, there’s enough new stuff for me that it’s definitely worth playing. I do have some negatives, that quite impacted my fun on the game. I hope the developers would take this feedback to update the game. Getting all the gems in only one run in the minecart sections is frustrating, it'd be way better if you could collect them over multiple runs. Also, if you're missing like the last ten quills in a level, it would be nice if we could buy their locations or hints from the bookmarks. This also counts for the Pagie Pieces, some of them are too hidden without any indicator. Finding everything can be infuriating because of this. Buying their locations from bookmarks as well would've been grreat. All these things together makes it annoying to fully collect everything, and impacted my enjoyment quite a bit. These things were among the major feedback points from the original game, so I hoped to see some improvements there. Nevertheless, besides these points I really enjoyed the rest of the game. Owners of the original game get a nice discount, which is easily worth it. But even at full price, I feel it’s a great deal for the content you get. If you like platformers and collect-a-thons, I’d definitely recommend this game. As someone who mostly liked Yooka-Laylee, I can definitely say I loved Yooka-Replaylee. I really hope we'll get Tooka-Laylee sometime in the future (but without minecart sections)!

A definite improvement to the original. You have the same five levels, but the variety of things to do in those five levels is a considerable amount! Adding in the various graphical improvements makes this a short game that's definitely worth the small price tag.

The original Yooka Laylee was overall a fun time but there were a few notable annoyances and a noticeable lack of polish to a good chunk of it. Replaylee really takes what's there and elevates it across the board. It expands, polishes and improves what's there and really irons out all the negative stuff from the original. It even does a couple things to make it feel more in line with Yooka Laylee Impossible Lair. It really makes it feel like what it should have been to begin with. But hey, 8 years later for a much better version of the game feels pretty reasonable. It also runs pretty smoothly on my pc fortunately. Definitely recommended!

A Collectathon Revival Done Well I honestly didn’t expect much from this, but wow! this is how you do a proper remake. Playtonic actually listened this time. The clunky controls, the weird camera, the awkward level flow... all of it feels reworked and smoother. The movement’s tighter, the worlds are brighter, and it finally feels like the game Yooka Laylee should’ve been back in 2017. It’s just fun to play now. The controls feel buttery smooth, and exploring every area actually rewards you instead of feeling like a chore. The added collectibles and tweaks to puzzles make a huge difference. You can tell the devs took their time fixing the stuff fans complained about instead of pretending it didn’t exist... On PC and Steam Deck, it’s running surprisingly well. I’m getting consistent performance with barely any stutters, and the lighting and texture work look fantastic. It’s still got that charming cartoon vibe but with a clean, modern polish. Some people mentioned minor pop in or shimmering, but honestly, it’s nothing major, it still looks great in motion. It’s not perfect, of course. I wish there were more graphics options and a proper performance mode toggle for weaker rigs. The current settings feel a bit too barebones as you can only tweak resolution, shadows, and texture quality, but there’s no granular control over effects like anti-aliasing, motion blur, or ambient occlusion. Final Thoughts Still, compared to the original, this is night and day. The gameplay is tighter, controls are more responsive, and the world feels alive in a way it never quite did before. Playtonic didn’t just slap on a remaster label,they actually put in the work to fix what didn’t click the first time. It feels like they went back, listened to what fans were saying for years, and built the game they originally wanted to make. Even with a few technical rough edges, it’s easily the best way to experience Yooka Laylee today. If you grew up loving Banjo Kazooie or other collectathons from that era, this game is going to hit all the right nostalgic notes. It’s colorful, goofy, full of secrets, and most importantly, it feels alive this time. What really deserves praise, though, is the pricing. Playtonic respected players with a very fair regional pricing model and didn’t try to overcharge or hide behind nostalgia. Unlike Greedy Nintendo that are charging $70-80 of remasters of their games. Definately Worth Buying!
