Oh snap

I had Yooka Laylee on my list to buy when we got the PS4 because it looked like my kind of thing. What with one thing and another, it didn’t get bought in the initial purchase flurry of second hand games.

I actually bought it (for $20, on clearance, from Target), and almost immediately I thought, before even loading it, ‘This looks like Banjo Kazooie.’

IT’S THE SAME FREAKING MAKERS.

The music, the sound effects, the stupid buzzy ‘voices’, the combo of two unlikely cartoon animals…

It’s ‘I Can’t Believe It’s Not Banjo Kazooie’. Except it basically is, just with a chameleon and a bat instead of a bear and a bird.

I LOVE IT. It’s stupid and colourful and THE GOAL IS TO RESCUE BOOKS.

And apparently the developers released an N64 skin for the game the other month, because they’re just as big retro dorks as I am.

Hey. Can I be straightup with you, for a second? You want this game.

It is fun and it is funny and it is creepy and scary and trippy and wonderful and, again, fun.

You Want This Game.

Reblogging because this sounds AWESOME and I’ll buy it when I can afford to (after car stuff and all that).

The person who wrote up the list of things the game includes clearly knows how to get my attention!
