Our analysis

A Donkey Kong Country-inspired 2D platformer where rescuing bees for your Beettalion lets you set the difficulty of the brutal Impossible Lair. The dialogue is consistently brilliant, though the top-down overworld and some long loading times may not suit everyone.

Our analysis

A polished 2.5D side-scrolling platformer where rescued Beettalion members act as extra hit points for the brutal final lair, with charming visuals and a standout David Wise and Grant Kirkhope soundtrack; long loading times are the main drawback.

Our analysis

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is a wonderful platformer with solid controls, inventive level transformations, and a masterful interconnected overworld. Its punishing final challenge is a stark difficulty spike that weakens the finale.
