Wow. I guess the fiasco with the Nintendo fanbase and the JonTron controversy should have been warning signs.

I said in a previous thread that this game looked like garbage compared to Super Mario Odyssey, but I had no idea it would be this bad. And this is coming from someone who backed the project on Kickstarter.

Now that you mention JonTron... these reviews could be due to the alt right trolling.

Mario Odyssey is something different, maybe more like what Mario 64 and Sunshine in a larger scale.

Yooka Laylee sounds like its trying to be Banjo Kazooie 3. I've only completed Banjo N&B (the most under rated platformer ever).

Here's my question, is classic Banjo/Yooka Laylee style games too dated or is Yooka Laylee just a bad game?

Perhaps it's simply a bad game?

 

I don't think critics criticize games just for the sake of it- I think seeing this pattern of bad, hyped indie games is saying something.

 

Games like Shovel Knight and whatnot aren't 100% original, and yet they get good scores since the game stands out. 

 

When you mentioned Odyssey, I don't think it really applies. Nintendo rarely has controversy surrounding games, and typically Mario games do fine.

 

I just don't understand how mighty 9 and yooka laylee can struggle with so many talented people behind it
