Fantasy · Open World

+1
Its focus on collecting, and the way it funnels that into both progression and optional challenges, is pure N64-era platforming. Yooka-Laylee's levels burst with secrets, demanding a thorough exploration that rewards the player with new abilities and customization options. While it wears its influences on its sleeve, the game's vibrant world and self-aware humor provide a solid foundation for anyone seeking a modern take on a classic formula.
