• Yooka-Replaylee (Nintendo Switch 2) Review - 8 October 2025

  I was fairly surprised to see Yooka-Replaylee because I honestly didn’t think it was something anyone wanted. Despite what some storefronts might suggest , Yooka-Laylee wasn’t particularly well-received when it launched back in 2017—sitting at an average of 68 on Metacritic. What’s even weirder is that Playtonic seemed to have found its footing with the characters in the actually beloved Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair , so why they would dip back into this poisoned well is beyond me. I genuinely wanted to believe in Yooka-Replaylee because I really wanted to believe in Yooka Laylee . The style of old-school Rare collectathon games is a bit of a lost art, and I really wanted to see a studio of former Rare developers bring it back to the mainstream. But after playing both the original Yooka Laylee and this updated re-release, I think we just need to conclude—it’s simply not a very g…

  Howdy folks! Can you believe it's only 5 days until the launch of Yooka-Replaylee?! We've been staring at the game for a long time now, so we thought to bring in a fresh pair of eyes to take a look at it for us.So, we rang up Caddicarus and invited him for a visit to the Playtonic offices.

We've condensed the chat into this 1.5h video on YouTube for you to enjoy on this brisk Saturday on October. So, grab a bevvy and a snack and join us for a comparison video between Yooka-Laylee and Yooka-Replaylee.And this is not all we invited Caddy to do. But more on that next week!Topics covered in the video include:New opening (psst, play the demo!)PlatformicityTighter controls + feelNew cameraNew cosmetics, Tonics and upgradesSmoother p…
