That's not a fair comparison though. That game was made at the dawn of 3D gaming, this was made after 20 years of learning. That would be like saying an X-Games gold metalist shouldn't be criticized for messing up a trick because you wouldn't be super hard on a kid who was just learning. The fact that if Banjo Kazooie was repackaged and launched as something else would score like this is not a relevant. It's an early 3D game, it was judged well by the standards of the time. Yooka-Laylee, for all its nostalgia, is a 2017 game and should be expected to have learned some of the basic design lessons that last 20 years had to teach.
