Played a little Yooka-Laylee yesterday

and yep, it's exactly what I expected it to be. It's Banjo-Kazooie with better visuals. I only played about an hour but I may go back in today if Persona 5 will let me.

So if you liked the Banjo games give it a shot. If you didn't, there's nothing here that will change your mind.

I liked DK64 so I'll like it. ONLY issue it looks like might have is somewhat empty worlds.

The worlds seem to have plenty in them, plus you can expand them.

I do want to play this. But I'll wait a while. Hope you enjoy it man!

What's not to like that the guy who teaches you your moves is a snake called Trowser.

Yes, but this is a snake named Trowser! as in trouser snake. Do I need to explain, that takes all the fun out of it.

That's good. Is like BotW I bet. Lots of trailers look empty but more to play when you actually play.

Some people have been complaining that it's too retro, but wasn't that the whole point? I really got to get on to playing the Banjo games.

Yep, that was the whole point. I played some more today and I love it,

Mine is coming in the mail this next week. Of course I won't play it until I get through the large list of games I have to review. Not that I'm complaining, I'm very blessed.

The main problem I've heard about the game is the camera which sounds super frustrating. Did you find it much of a problem?

Not so far. I've been able to deal with it pretty well. The main problem I've run into is PC related. It's not too bad on my Core i7 Envy Laptop with 4 GB GTX 950 and 16 GB of RAM but I tried playing it on my son's 3 year old AMD Quad core with a 2 GB video card and 8 GB of RAM and even on Simple (which I'm assuming is the lowest setting) it was unplayable. Made me sick like playing an FPS.

I played it yesterday and I feel the same even at 60 fps. I think a part of the problem is that the camera bounces off any solid object so it often just bounces around on little bumps in the terrain. It's not always visualy noticable, but I do think that's a big part of the problem since I feel a bit ill playing it too.

The funny thing about this game is that it seemed to get mixed reactions. I've never played a lot of Banjo, but this is one of those games I would buy when its on sale and give it a spin.
