I’m getting around to Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair. I know the original wasn’t especially loved here (and, admittedly, the fact that it’s kind of a rough game doesn’t do it any favors), but this is a very polished side scroller inspired by the Donkey Kong Country series. It lacks the big showy set pieces of DKC: Tropical Freeze (in my opinion one of the best platformers ever), but it’s full of really creative ideas. It doesn’t entirely abandon the Banjo approach since there is an overworld with a bunch of secrets and collectibles. I would really encourage people who were turned off by the original to give this a shot provided you like platformers.
