Explore huge, beautiful worlds, meet (and beat) an unforgettable cast of characters and horde a vault-load of shiny collectibles as buddy-duo Yooka (the green one) and Laylee (the wisecracking bat with the big nose) embark on an epic adventure to thwart corporate creep Capital B and his devious scheme to absorb all the world's books... and convert them into pure profit!

Using their arsenal of special moves, our heroes will tackle a huge variety of puzzles and platforming challenges in their search for Pagies, the golden bounty used to unlock — and expand — stunning new worlds, each jammed to the gills with oddball characters, hulking bosses, minecart challenges, arcade games, quiz shows, multiplayer games... and much more!

Get ready for the full Yooka-Laylee experience, with all the updates, including the much requested camera and voice patch! Gear up with up to four Joy-Con™ controllers for some multiplayer madness in Rextro's Arcade.

The game lacks imagination in the puzzle department and overall just felt dull. It doesn't even have level specific enemies (besides bosses) like Banjo, just the same few reskinned bad guys that aren't even worth your time to attack.

If you want to play a 3D platformer, there's much better options such as
A Hat In Time
Blue Fire
Hellpie
Psychonauts 2
Spyro Reignited
Tinykin

Clive 'N' Wrench is also supposed to come out soon and looks promising.

Looks like Impossible Lair is deeply discounted as well at $4.49 (Regular Price:$29.99;
-85% off).

Any feedback worth playing? I know that it's original Banjo Kazooie developers that made this series?

Definitely dated a bit, but it's fun and worth the money. Listening to the characters talk is just awful, both sound they make and dialogue.

Impossible Lair plays almost exactly like Donkey Kong Country. I didn't finish it but I definitely had $4 worth of fun! Easy purchase if you're a DKC fan.

Is the full game multi player? Sometimes I purchase a game that says it's 1-4 players only to find out it's just a little side feature that's multi-player, and not the whole game.

The main game is single player. A second player can join but can't do a lot.

You might get $4 of fun out of it. It starts out better than it gets sadly like they focused much more on the beginning and gets stale quick. I remember thinking "this isn't as bad as people make it out to be" then about 6 hours in I was bored and quit. I have no problem still playing and beating the first two Banjos, this game just felt dull the more areas I went to.
