After wanting again to ye oldene dayes with N64-style collect-o-jumper Yooka-Laylee, builders Playtonic Games at the moment are leaping again one other era with its follow-up. Today they introduced Yooka-Laylee And The Impossible Lair, a side-scrolling platformer linked by a top-down overworld with gentle puzzling. After extra years and possibly they’ll undergo Super Mario, then again by Donkey Kong, Pong, and oscilloscope games, ending with unidentifiable games performed with knucklebones and entrails. That can wait. Before then, Yooka and Laylee will go 2.5D later this yr. Come see the trailer.
See? It is once more like previous games, besides older ones. Water’s good too.
Dear Pip referred to as the unique “a friendly game regardless of whether you had an N64 two decades ago” in her Yooka-Laylee review “That feels like a valuable commodity at this point in time. Yooka-Laylee is bright, it’s positive, it’s daft and it wants to play with you. And that’s lovely.”
It received’t be as pretty twenty years from now when Playtonic are promoting a brand new Yooka-Laylee game as a leather-based pouch you open to find Yooka the chameleon is a withered lizard tail, Laylee the bat is a dwell Daubenton’s bat, and the villain is the rabies virus you’re contaminated with when the panicked Laylee flies out and bites you.
Yooka-Laylee And The Impossible Lair is coming to Steam a while in 2019. No phrase on a value but. Group17 are publishing this one too.
