Poll of the Day > Why all the bad reviews for Yooka-Laylee?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm loving it.

It's unprofessional to do reviews while drunk.

Butt hurt youtubers

If you actually read the reviews you would understand why they didn't like it. Reviews aren't just a score out of 10.

it's boring.

I haven't continued playing past the first level (yet... I just pick stuff up when I feel like it) but the level design was kind of odd. Like adventure/platforming games are all about exploration and collecting. And the only reason you need to explore is because you have to collect stuff. So if I'm supposed to explore, I don't see why there were a few areas that seemed like they were purely for visuals or punishing me for exploring them. I ended up behind this cliff area thing, and there wasn't any way to get back to the main level, I was going to have to jump off into the sky abyss. Like if I wasn't supposed to be there, don't make it so I can double jump where I'm not supposed to

Its easier to like a game when you don't set out with the intent to critique it.

ive been tempted to get that for me and my son to play

I like it a lot too

To many people try to critic games instead of playing them

i played about an hour. it's ok. there are things i don't like about it. for example some quests you have to start by acutally talking to a person that lost something in the area and then the missing object appears in the area.

Also they show how to get the first pagie instead of just letting me go up there by myself and "exploring" the area. they showed every step of the way of how to get there with an unskippable custscene.

Also some time you can fastword the dialog some times you can't.

And last the story is pretty much incoherent.

It's nit picking. but so far it's a good game that is worth the $30 price tag. it doesn't seem so far to get an 5 or 6 reviews. I hope they make a prequel game because it feel like it needs it

Really, which quests? I don't think I noticed that happening.
