So their first game was great but not amazing with trying to play similar to Banjo-Kazooie, so they decided on being similar to Donkey Kong now and that's this game. The whole point is to complete stages to rescue bees to stop a capitalist bee from doing something evil with those bees. It goes for a 2.5D feel that still has that atmospheric world setting with each area. The overworld brings an interesting feel to level selection with the notable feature of messing with the environment to alter the stages and have them play out differently compared to normal. The unlockable tonics change up how you play the game ranging from making the game easier or harder or for cosmetic reasons like different filters. The gameplay is solid with keeping most of the style and charm as the first game. The art style and music works well with each stage and its alternate version. The only issue is that because you can go straight to the final boss from the start, it makes the rest of the game feel like a large grind until you get enough hit points to make it through to the end, but then again you are also skipping the entierty of the game otherwise. Regardless, it's a good sequel to the Yooka-Laylee series.
Overworld is awesome, wish it was just more of that. Some of the levels are just... odd. Not thematically, just structurally. They go from baby mode to challenging in just seconds of each other. There are also a lot of odd item and enemy placements. It's tough to describe, but sometimes in a level you do a little challenge to get a bomb, which usually is used to blow up a door/cage for a coin, then there are times you get one and are holding it the whole rest of the level not needing it at all. There's also no 'flow' to the levels like the classic DK country. It's very much stop and go with very strange pacing. Music is great though and, as said previously, the overworld is simple, fun, and well thought-out. Overall worth getting on sale if you are really itching for a platformer, but otherwise I'd wait.
Un plataformas bastante exigente, sobre todo por el último nivel (o el primero, dependiendo de lo mal que estés de la cabeza). Pese a no estar ni de lejos al nivel del Yooka-Laylee original y a lo “coñazo” que puede llegar a ser hacer el 100%, he de decir que disfruté bastante los niveles por lo general.
Un gran juego comparado con el primero, incluso si personalmente el primero igual me gusto mas de lo que pense que me gustaria, los niveles eran simples pero divertidos, y los desafios extras necesarios para conseguir el 100% eran desafiantes y muy buenos, el nivel final especificamente tiene una idea muy interesante, pudiendo hacer el jefe final en cualquier momento pero decidiendo cuando queres dependiendo de las abejas que tengas, haciendolo mas facil o dificil para vos. En general muy bueno y una dificultad ajustable para todos, lo disfrute mucho y lo recomiendo facil
YOOKA-LAYLEE-HOO!
Одна из лучших игр платформеров, хотя за мультяшной рисовкой и персонажами таиться хардкор, игра подарила мне не забываемые эмоции. Всем советую его покупать, чтобы поддержать разрабов
