Yooka-Replaylee review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Richard in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: October 9, 2025
Developer: Playtonic Games
Publisher: Playtonic Games
The original Yooka-Laylee released eight years ago during a period of time when collectathon 3D platformers were few and far between. It was developed and released by Playtonic, an indie development team compromised of exciting new game creators and also veterans that were at Rare during their period of dominance in the N64 era. Harkening most closely to Rareware classics like Banjo-Kazooie and Conker’s Bad Fur Day, Yooka-Laylee was a breath of fresh air into a dormant subgenre in gaming that was much beloved and sorely missed. Having been one of the key games in revitalizing 3D platformers that still holds up quite well, it surprised me a bit that the decision was made to remake the title entirely. I had so many questions going into Yooka-Replaylee because it wasn’t something I expected to see. How does the game change things up?
