The Return of Yooka and Laylee
Back in 2017, Playtonic Games released Yooka-Laylee, a 3D platformer in the collectathon category created by some of the creative minds behind classic Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country games. The original title was created after a very successful Kickstarter campaign in 2015.
Now, Playtonic comes back to the series with Yooka-Replaylee, a remake that aims to enhance the game for modern systems. Besides the graphics uplift for the classic areas, the game also includes remixed challenges, a new orchestral score by Grant Kirkhope and David Wise for the soundtrack, and a new collectible currency.
According to the developers, the new game aims to preserve the qualities of the original release and enhance them with a careful redesign. At the same time, new quality of life features and updates to the gameplay make Replaylee a more modern experience that newcomers and casual players may also appreciate.
