Now that Yooka Laylee is essentially a critical failure... this is good time for Banjo Three!

Many old platformers were way overrated back when they were released, their potential sequels will get tarnished by the critics just like Yooka Laylee

When it comes to Rare platformers, I agree. They were over rated even when they released.

But again, I believe there are valid criticisms being made about Yooka Laylee that drag down any game. Not just this style of game.

for when they came out? Banjo Kazooie is and was an extremely solid platformer. The reality is that Yooka Laylee attempts to mimic Banjo Kazooie 20 years later but does everything MUCH worse. from control, to world atmosphere, to mini activities.

The reason Yooka Laylee is getting a poor reception is because it should IMPROVE on some things but its debatably worse in a lot of regards when compared with Kazooie.

Rare did great work back in the day though. DK 64 and Conker's Bad Fur Day are awesome platformers, if you're into the genre.
