Yooka-Laylee

Yooka-Laylee is a platform game that was developed by Playtonic Games, a British indie studio that predominantly consists of former Rare employees.  Yooka-Laylee aimed to offer a modern take on Rare's '90s classic Banjo-Kazooie. The game doesn't reach the heights of the N64 classic, but it still provides a good time for fans of collectathons.

Yooka-Laylee is an all-new open-world platformer from genre veterans Playtonic!

Explore huge, beautiful worlds, meet (and beat) an unforgettable cast of characters and horde a vault-load of shiny collectibles as buddy-duo Yooka (the green one) and Laylee (the wisecracking bat with the big nose) embark on an epic adventure to thwart corporate creep Capital B and his devious scheme to absorb all the world’s books… and convert them into pure profit!

Using their arsenal of special moves, our heroes will tackle a huge variety of puzzles and platforming challenges in their search for Pagies, the golden bounty used to unlock — and expand — stunning new worlds, each jammed to the gills with oddball characters, hulking bosses, minecart challenges, arcade games, quiz shows, multiplayer games… and much more!
