When it comes down to 3D platformers, the Nintendo Switch is the best place to play. Super Mario Odyssey is possibly the best 3D platformer in quite some time, but there’s another game that wants to take that crown.
Playtonic is a developer made up of a bunch of former RARE devs, and the first title they worked on was the 3D platformer, Yooka-Laylee. Those who followed RARE over the years definitely saw the DNA of Banjo-Kazooie in Yooka-Laylee, but it turns out the original plan was even deeper than that.
Wouldn’t they be exclusive to the Xbox One version just like they were exclusive to the Xbox 360 versions of Sega All Stars Racing
Although since Banjo-Kazooie skins were available in every version of Minecraft, it could’ve been possible for the same to apply for Yookah-Laylee
The PS4 has a killer roster of incredible platformers. Ranging from simple 2D platformers to vibrant 3D platforming games.
No mention of Astrobot on the VR, one of the best platform titles Sony have put out
Limited Run Games has announced Mutant Mudds and Yooka-Laylee tabletop games, both of which are available for pre-order until early September 2021.
It's a shame that it didn't do so well in the reviews, especially with some of the original guys behind Rare making the game.
So much for the "Rare isn't what it used to be" saying.
That's wrong, IMO. It was a lot more fun for me than Odyssey. The controls were a lot tighter, quests more varied, and level design much more open for actual platforming.
