I had a feeling with all the UA-camrs basically telling me to like the game because it was a spiritual successor to Banjo, that this game wasn't going to live up to what people had in mind.
A Cat I've seen both good and bad reviews for it. There's already a patch released for it, and after the patch released (fixing a lot of the technical issues) reviews were better.
technical issues aren't the primary problem. technical patches don't fix reused characters, underdeveloped ones, glued to the floor nopersonalities, blank level maps, and poor musical choices in areas. Unfortunately these are problems that should have been seen and tackled. I feel like the devs on this game worked hard on early work and let it fall off from there, instead of creating an outline for an entire story and world they wanted to create. They had the creative vision but they lacked to planning from the looks of it.
In all honesty i think dunkey is right. This game does not step up to Banjo and it's really just that. Maybe, if the characters were more deep, more comedy centered and if the maps were smaller then i wouldn't mind.
"It ends up feeling like a fan tribute rather than something a team of professionals worked on." That's funny, because A Hat in Time, an ACTUAL fan tribute, came out a whole lot better than Yooka Laylee.
BeastlyBogan Holy shit, yes. If they rewrote that game with an actual writer (as opposed to gluing words on to the paper indiscriminately) a remaster of that game would be amazing.
This review is spot on. Having backed and now completed this game. It's tedious at best and infuriating at worst. It basically comes down to zero polish. For every good thing about it, there's an equally awful counterpart. It's summed up in the video perfectly.
momiji lily I don't like it when people say that Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts is a bad game because it's different. I actually appreciate when a franchise tries something new.
I think one of my bigger problems, and one that helps explain what you mean about how Banjo Kazooie's consistency in moment-to-moment gameplay shining through to this day, is that the little quills aren't put in any semblance of an order. The musical notes often could be found 5 or more in a row, or at least existed in an order that made sense like various spots on the first hill you could get easier with the roady run later on. It felt good and made sense. In Yooka Laylee, they're placed in zones as if they are this great secret item, hidden as if they didnt have the value of a penny. It's inconsistent at best, and coupled with the needlessly large (and empty) open worlds, lazy game design in truth. That to me was its great disappointment, and told me that they didn't really know what made Banjo special.
Banjo Tooie is a fantastic game. In some ways I had more enjoyment out of Tooie than the original. I was giving a lot of thought to what you said about how Tooie is the opposite of the original, and in some ways I can agree. There is a clear push toward more complex content, and we see that right at the start of the game when we consider Kazooie has a 3 minute intro and Tooie has a 12 minute intro, and many more persistently relevant characters. Had a true successor (threeie) came out I would have liked to see them find a middle ground, because I think Kazooie could have benefited from more development. What really established Tooie as such a great game for me was the mechanics. Flying a ship, splitting up, flamethrower kazooie, using kazooie as a rifle lmao, playing as mumbo, and I mean come on, you can even shoot grenade eggs out of kazooies butt. Tooie pushed the envelope, and it definitely made mistakes, but I can't fault RW for that.
I love them both. Tooie clearly had a TON of ambition behind it. While I understand why some people don't like it, I just think it's solid as hell. The atmosphere alone to me is enough to play it, then on top of that they added in so many interesting new moves and mechanics. It's just so good
I know a lot of people thought Tooie's levels were too big and confusing but I always liked all the space and getting lost in them. It was really immersive
that is not really a good argument. not everyone has the disposable income to just "buy it" and most rely on reviews in order to effectively spend what little disposable money they have.
You mention Hollow Knight in no less than three different videos. That's why I bought it. Played it. loved it. Got ruined by the traitor lord like 50 times in a row. uninstalled it. played it again, loved it again, still can't beat the traitor lord, and eventually I just gave up. Totally worth it.
@@psst_hail_sithis I did. Still lose. Most bosses I needed 2-3 tries. A handful I needed 4-5. I just can't beat the traitor lord. I've unlocked everything that is unlockable without killing him. I've tried a dozen different crest combos. I got nowhere.
Dunkey your review on Banjo-Kazooie 64 was on point on so many levels. To see Yooka-Laylee fall below the bar is really sad. Was really looking forward to this one :(
I really hoped that this game was going to live up to my expectations and that Dunkey was wrong about it, but now that I've purchased it and reached the final level, I've realized that I agree with everything he says. Spiritual successors aren't a bad thing, but when they lose their identity to the games they're imitating, you end up with Yooka-Laylee
If anyone is looking for a new, good indie 3D platformer, I cannot recommend A Hat In Time enough. While the character models are a bit offputting at times and the first level is a bit slow, the game really picks up and grows into a masterpiece as you progress. It's like half Mario Sunshine, half Psychonauts.
shafz1996 I don't know... if this is what we can expect from crowd funded games from spiritual successors and long waited sequels then I'd rather entertain the idea of a game that I would want to play in my mind and go on with my day.
Zachary Wilson-Long Wrong, thr Kickstater funds are being used to develop Shenmue. The only thing Sony is doing is helping with Publishing/Marketing. Publishing is not the same as developing and Sony is not paying the folks at YS to make Shenmue.
I remember I had gex on my old computer and I really liked the first one at the time, specially since I was a kid, the levels offered a great variety and the bosses were nice in my opinion.
@@edwincenteno7266 I mean, if you talk about Yooka, you have to talk about Banjo. It's kinda the entire reason the game exists, and is attempting to be a successor to.
@@Winasaurus Yes. Especially since these are ex Rare employes, i mean they had the kinect as a Boss because microsoft made them do games for it. But saying out of tha bat that Banjo is your favourite game comes off as if he has all the authoriy to scrutinize the game. Which is a little sad because the games is solid and he got some wrong information about the mecanics of the game which is confusing if he was doing his shtick ( which is wierd if he made mistakes on purpose for trying to be funny) or an honest review.
@@edwincenteno7266 Having Banjo as your favourite game definitely gives your opinion more weight when it comes to talking about it's spiritual successor. The controls just don't feel as consistently tight as Banjo, like he said there are levels of polish just outright missing, why do some sections look like they've been made by interns that don't know what they are working on, and others look honestly great? It's such a mess of ideas and the execution is wobbly. Some parts of the game feel unfinished at times, or worse because of some deadline or something.
@@Winasaurus Playtnic has said they will continue to add to the game. I don't know what kinda control dunk is talking about but there tight exept for the camera, though ir doesnt break the game, if it feels unfinished to you it's probably because yooka has less levels but bigger while banjo has more but smaller.
For the record, Jon changed his opinion on BotW like two days later. He loves it now...but still isn't convinced it's a "true zelda". -the fuck does that even mean-
It means that he feels they took out too many familiar elements for it to really still be considered a Zelda game for him. He may warm up to realize that those elements had to go to create a unique new Zelda experience or he might not.
Idk, I thought Yooka-laylee was fun. I also liked Banjo Tooie. Level design in Banjo Kazooie was probably better than Tooie, but I enjoyed the extra powers and stuff you unlock. Plus, Dragon Kazooie.
Nah, the game is buggy as all hell. Did you know that the PC version doesn't even have a "B" button mapped on the keyboard? For many dialogues, in order to quit talking to the character, you need to actually "Quit To HUB".
Same. I found it a lot more immersive as well due to how the world was connected, as opposed to Kazooie's more Mario 64-ish approach with the warp kettles.
Tooie is an experience. There was a lot more commitment to playing that over Kazooie, but getting past certain issues really opened up how amazing the game is.
Personally I like Tooie even more! Don't know why but I just like the environments way more:) the game feels darker and the transformations are just super creative!
Man, Gex was awesome. As a kid without a console to play on I had Gex Enter the Gecko for my computer. I'm sure it hasn't aged well but if someone released a remastering of the original trilogy I would buy it in a heartbeat, maybe even preorder it. Also a Gex reboot would be amazing, a game where he could make jokes at Game of Thrones and reality shows would be fantastic.
he didn’t introduce me but Hollow Knight a easily my favourite game. He did a mini review in his Best of 2017 video but i doubt he’ll do a full dunkview until silksong comes out if at all
TheRealmDrifter that Revival right there is how you get both old and new people into your game. The way they did it here was like how Sonic Team trying to do a homage of Emerald Coast. so not only did you not recreate the feeling of the game but it is also inferior by comparison to your earlier product.
You can put all the make up you want on that corpse, it won't bring it back to life. Not sure why would you even buy that when the games that dunkey recommended exist. Unless you've already played them all, and the nostalgia factor is strong, and even then, i think replaying an amazing platformer is better than uh, replaying a mediocre one.
The N Sane Trilogy has Naughty Dog's blessing, and Vicarious Visions managed to impress them! Nuff said! If they can impress the original creators of Crash Bandicoot, then that's good enough for me!
I feel like this game would be like 100x better if they waited until fall and worked out all the crap dunk talked about. Its kind of weird how some levels feel 10x more polished than others
The game lacks no soul and is way too big, seriously just go and play the level click clock wood in Banjo kazooie. A level with 4 seasons, the sense of immersion and atmosphere in that level is amaing and that game was made in 1998...
Yeah, fuck off. Literally ALL of the nitpicky shit dunkey complained about were "issues" banjo had, yet were praised for them. "Oh, but banjo was made 15 years a.." fuck off with that. Banjo was made by a company that was being given basically an unlimited budget by Nintendo, with a MUCH larger team and much more specific technology to work with (given it was an N64 exclusive, they didn't have to use a system that works along all platforms). Honestly, I couldn't see this as a review. I see it more as a "These guys fucked with my friend jontron so im going to complain about everything and fuck with these guys". Like, this is a GAME REVIEW. What does mentioning the removal of jontron have ANYTHING to do with the game?
Yes, if only they could've predicted Dunkey would make a video about a game that wasn't released if they waited til Fall, and then took everything Dunkey talked about into consideration and then completely reworked the game from the ground up, and then released it.
Every time you’ve mentioned Hollow Knight in any video you’ve done, you’ve praised the game which lead me to eventually buy it, and Hollow Knight is now one of my favorite games of all time, so make a dunkview of Hollow Knight!!
@@a-ha4940 ehh he makes dunkviews of older games. it's not out of the question. and Hollow Knight is going to go down as a classic. So it could happen.
well technically all these games in the 2000's would be amazing or extreme evolution it's partly the bar being set higher with modern technology as well, but it's also that these said games are just bad too.
I still like the game,but I would love it a lot more if they made smaller levels like in Banjo-Kazooie,the amount of stuff to explore in these small levels made the game so charming in my opinion
it's just one review bro, don't be discouraged I'm gunna go try it out myself despite dunks opinion cuz it looks fun and I really enjoy the games soundtrack from what I heard so far
Ya before you give up on the game, check other reviews. I've seen plenty of reviews saying the game is actually fun. Dunkey has his own opinion, while you might have a different one
Dunkey's reviews are actually usually very consistent and spot on, it's the viewer's job to dissect what could be a joke and what could be seriousness, or a mixture of both
Honestly a game that's very inconsistent with tacked on ideas is what older games had. When I play a buggy ps1 looking game on pc, I'm like, this is exactly what it was back then. I love inconsistent games. They're charming in their own way. Watching this, hearing its a mess, makes me want to try it more.
I bought it recently and am having fun with it. I love the nostagia the music brings cause it sounds just like some of the DK 64 music. The gameplay is new and I like the puzzle solving. The only thing that reeks of ass is the story. Seriously, the whole game is about some guy trying to steal everyone's books so he can find one specific book. You gotta spend the game collecting pages of said book.
I really liked Yooka-Laylee when it came out and I even 100% completed it, but looking back I don't think it's all that good. I think it lacks the ambition and creativity that BK and BT had
Honestly I only keep coming back for his hollow knight segment. This vid and his 2017 are the only mentions well ever get from Him. It’s a shame too because that game deserves a review from dunkey
Another excellent platformer I have had a lot of fun with would be the Jak and Daxter series. The first one is an lovely all-out platformer with very pretty visuals and areas. It's sad that YL turned out pretty lousy, but we always have our good ol' platformers from the past.
After learning some unity myself, its pretty damn clear that the problem was the developers lack of knowledge on the engine. Everything feels very bare bones and stock. Stock particles systems, stock lighting systems, the control feels off, probably because they didnt change the gravity settings in the options, its what gives unity games that sorta floaty feel. I think the game needed more time in hindsight, give these devs a chance to actually learn how to use unity to its full potential, you can make GREAT games in unity, but if you dont change settings, or you use the tools as basic as possible, your gonna end up with a game that feels like a unity game, not as a game.
Dunkey once said in his video game critics video that you don’t have to agree with everything a critic says to respect them. Generally we are on the same page with liking things. This game was, and still is, the game where I completely disagree with Dunkey. Even years later, I think it’s safely a 4 out of 5 game. It’s no Banjo, but nothing ever will be.
I do like that Dunkey's vids often play on expectation and with the knowledge that the fanbase knows what drama's going on at the time of uploading, but just in case someone happens upon this and doesn't know why Jon was removed it's actually because he very, very thoroughly implied that black people are genetically predisposed towards criminal activity and he said much more explicitly that he was concerned about Arab people poisoning the gene pool.

The musical notes often could be found 5 or more in a row, or at least existed in an order that made sense like various spots on the first hill you could get easier with the roady run later on. It felt good and made sense. In Yooka Laylee, they're placed in zones as if they are this great secret item, hidden as if they didnt have the value of a penny.

That's odd, tooie is the much harder and bigger game completing kaooie is a breeze compared to tooie. I like kazooie more, but tooie is great.
Same
Banjo-Tooie is a fuckin' MASTAPIECE!
ok
I'm watching this shit again 2 years later, and I just now noticed the joke he made at 2:31. Dunk, you're a damn genius.
wait i don’t get it what

Huh
so should i buy this or knack 3?
Isn't it obvious? Knack 3!

Dunkey your review on Banjo-Kazooie 64 was on point on so many levels. To see Yooka-Laylee fall below the bar is really sad. Was really looking forward to this one :(
its not bad. try it out
Or over watch with me
Jaws120 It's is bad. I recommend not trying it out, when that costs money. I'm a backer so I know what I'm talking about.
I've been having a lot of fun. It don't think it's worth 40 dollars tho.
why the fuck did you call it Banjo-Kazooie 64 though. its just Banjo-Kazooie
Dunkey I think you forgot about the APEX of Banjo
Grunty's Revenge on the GBA
the BEST Banjo game
I mean it was more of a banjo game than Nuts N Bolts was, and better IMO.
My Little Donut Banjo pilot was fine, Grunty's Revenge was fun.

I really hoped that this game was going to live up to my expectations and that Dunkey was wrong about it, but now that I've purchased it and reached the final level, I've realized that I agree with everything he says. Spiritual successors aren't a bad thing, but when they lose their identity to the games they're imitating, you end up with Yooka-Laylee
5:53 That lizard could write for Family Guy.
If anyone is looking for a new, good indie 3D platformer, I cannot recommend A Hat In Time enough. While the character models are a bit offputting at times and the first level is a bit slow, the game really picks up and grows into a masterpiece as you progress. It's like half Mario Sunshine, half Psychonauts.

Here's hoping shenmue 3 don't fuck up with their kick starter
shafz1996 I don't know... if this is what we can expect from crowd funded games from spiritual successors and long waited sequels then I'd rather entertain the idea of a game that I would want to play in my mind and go on with my day.
I mean the Kickstarter wasn't even for funding the game, Sony used it to gauge interest and then published it.
Zachary Wilson-Long Wrong, thr Kickstater funds are being used to develop Shenmue. The only thing Sony is doing is helping with Publishing/Marketing. Publishing is not the same as developing and Sony is not paying the folks at YS to make Shenmue.

I remember I had gex on my old computer and I really liked the first one at the time, specially since I was a kid, the levels offered a great variety and the bosses were nice in my opinion.
And here we are, playing Gex in 2020. Damn.
5:20 I'm glad you mentioned Psychonauts. I used to play it obsessively as a kid and when the sequel was announced I shit my pants.
Rest in peaces, Jon "Let's Go on a Jew Safari" Jafari. Just had to open your beautiful mouth about Zelda.
No it was about Zelda
You can't shit on Zelda, this is what happens if you do.
This was all part of that bird's masta plan to delay Yooka-Laylee for us because we're black.

Video title: Yooka-Laylee
The literal start of the video: *Banjo-Kazooie is one of my favorite games*
That´s how you know the review isn´t biased at all!
@@edwincenteno7266 I mean, if you talk about Yooka, you have to talk about Banjo. It's kinda the entire reason the game exists, and is attempting to be a successor to.
@@Winasaurus Yes. Especially since these are ex Rare employes, i mean they had the kinect as a Boss because microsoft made them do games for it. But saying out of tha bat that Banjo is your favourite game comes off as if he has all the authoriy to scrutinize the game. Which is a little sad because the games is solid and he got some wrong information about the mecanics of the game which is confusing if he was doing his shtick ( which is wierd if he made mistakes on purpose for trying to be funny) or an honest review.
@@edwincenteno7266 Having Banjo as your favourite game definitely gives your opinion more weight when it comes to talking about it's spiritual successor. The controls just don't feel as consistently tight as Banjo, like he said there are levels of polish just outright missing, why do some sections look like they've been made by interns that don't know what they are working on, and others look honestly great? It's such a mess of ideas and the execution is wobbly. Some parts of the game feel unfinished at times, or worse because of some deadline or something.
@@Winasaurus Playtnic has said they will continue to add to the game. I don't know what kinda control dunk is talking about but there tight exept for the camera, though ir doesnt break the game, if it feels unfinished to you it's probably because yooka has less levels but bigger while banjo has more but smaller.
For the record, Jon changed his opinion on BotW like two days later.
He loves it now...but still isn't convinced it's a "true zelda".
-the fuck does that even mean-
it clearly means Breath of the Wild is the Metroid game we've all been waiting for.
It means that he feels they took out too many familiar elements for it to really still be considered a Zelda game for him. He may warm up to realize that those elements had to go to create a unique new Zelda experience or he might not.
Unshaved Malevolence It means he wanted another "Get item, hit giant eyeball" Zelda game.
Isn't the point of BOtW to be different, to revolutionize it.
It means you missed on playing Zelda games during your childhood or you wouldn't dare write such a blasphemous comment.
1:03 they made so much effort to make that shit as long as possible but they couldn't make the fucking rock not clip through the roof
Idk, I thought Yooka-laylee was fun. I also liked Banjo Tooie. Level design in Banjo Kazooie was probably better than Tooie, but I enjoyed the extra powers and stuff you unlock. Plus, Dragon Kazooie.
Yooka Laylee song at the start be like: DK Rap on Crack
NEWS FLASH: Dunkey's voice removed from the new Zelda game
Ouch, sorry to hear Dunk hates it. I'm having fun so far. edit: Ended up feeling about the same as Dunkey.
i think he was just underwhelmed
Nah, the game is buggy as all hell. Did you know that the PC version doesn't even have a "B" button mapped on the keyboard? For many dialogues, in order to quit talking to the character, you need to actually "Quit To HUB".
Who the fuck plays platformers on keyboards?
Anyone with an emulator for 16 bit consoles.
Does your Esc button not work or what?

Jontron said that he like Paper mario
STICKER STAR
Gex is awesome, never saw it get mentioned anywhere until now
You obviously haven't watched his Super Mario 64 playthrough.
I actually prefer tooie over kazooie, i like the big worlds personally. Also there is more immersive songs in tooie
Same. I found it a lot more immersive as well due to how the world was connected, as opposed to Kazooie's more Mario 64-ish approach with the warp kettles.
Tooie is an experience. There was a lot more commitment to playing that over Kazooie, but getting past certain issues really opened up how amazing the game is.
I thought he was joking when he was talking about tooie because every time I play tooie and Kazooie I can’t tell which game I love more
I thought he was joking when he was talking about tooie because every time I play tooie and Kazooie I can’t tell which game I love more
to this day i still think that Tooie is the better game for me
Personally I like Tooie even more! Don't know why but I just like the environments way more:) the game feels darker and the transformations are just super creative!
I agree lol tooie is my favorite banjo game
Man, Gex was awesome. As a kid without a console to play on I had Gex Enter the Gecko for my computer. I'm sure it hasn't aged well but if someone released a remastering of the original trilogy I would buy it in a heartbeat, maybe even preorder it. Also a Gex reboot would be amazing, a game where he could make jokes at Game of Thrones and reality shows would be fantastic.
This aged like fine wine.
holy shit. i forgot about Gex64 and how much I played the shit out of that game when I was younger. Thanks Dunk
PS1 version was better tho
7/10 the game makes you feel like batman
Really? Kinda made me feel more like Spider-Man on my end
Ok
I've lost all hope we are getting a Dunkview of Hollow knight. Your videos introduced me to that wonderful game.
he didn’t introduce me but Hollow Knight a easily my favourite game. He did a mini review in his Best of 2017 video but i doubt he’ll do a full dunkview until silksong comes out if at all
Just beat it! I got 60% for inventory
Hollow knight is overrated.
@@fungi265 Honestly it's not
Really looking forward to playing Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy on PS4 when it comes out.
TheRealmDrifter that Revival right there is how you get both old and new people into your game. The way they did it here was like how Sonic Team trying to do a homage of Emerald Coast. so not only did you not recreate the feeling of the game but it is also inferior by comparison to your earlier product.
You can put all the make up you want on that corpse, it won't bring it back to life.
Not sure why would you even buy that when the games that dunkey recommended exist.
Unless you've already played them all, and the nostalgia factor is strong, and even then, i think replaying an amazing platformer is better than uh, replaying a mediocre one.
+Jack Von Bartesby ...Shhhh... Let people enjoy things...
Jack Von Bartesby excuse me did you just call Crash Bandicoot mediocre
The N Sane Trilogy has Naughty Dog's blessing, and Vicarious Visions managed to impress them! Nuff said! If they can impress the original creators of Crash Bandicoot, then that's good enough for me!
I feel like this game would be like 100x better if they waited until fall and worked out all the crap dunk talked about. Its kind of weird how some levels feel 10x more polished than others
The game lacks no soul and is way too big, seriously just go and play the level click clock wood in Banjo kazooie. A level with 4 seasons, the sense of immersion and atmosphere in that level is amaing and that game was made in 1998...
Yeah, fuck off. Literally ALL of the nitpicky shit dunkey complained about were "issues" banjo had, yet were praised for them. "Oh, but banjo was made 15 years a.." fuck off with that.
Banjo was made by a company that was being given basically an unlimited budget by Nintendo, with a MUCH larger team and much more specific technology to work with (given it was an N64 exclusive, they didn't have to use a system that works along all platforms).
Honestly, I couldn't see this as a review. I see it more as a "These guys fucked with my friend jontron so im going to complain about everything and fuck with these guys". Like, this is a GAME REVIEW. What does mentioning the removal of jontron have ANYTHING to do with the game?
TheMrGamer his complaints about the game design had nothing to do with jon
@TheMrGamer Game review? Funny, I don't see that in the title ..
Yes, if only they could've predicted Dunkey would make a video about a game that wasn't released if they waited til Fall, and then took everything Dunkey talked about into consideration and then completely reworked the game from the ground up, and then released it.
Every time you’ve mentioned Hollow Knight in any video you’ve done, you’ve praised the game which lead me to eventually buy it, and Hollow Knight is now one of my favorite games of all time, so make a dunkview of Hollow Knight!!
@@a-ha4940 ehh he makes dunkviews of older games. it's not out of the question. and Hollow Knight is going to go down as a classic. So it could happen.
How is that games are de-evolving, even with ten times the budget and 20 years more of technology
Creativity is far more important than budget or technology.
I mean, there are still good modern games, but yeah those are rare sadly.
well technically all these games in the 2000's would be amazing or extreme evolution it's partly the bar being set higher with modern technology as well, but it's also that these said games are just bad too.
There are always going to be great and terrible games
It’s probably better for JonTron that he wasn’t in the game.
He dodge the bullet
@@KonEl-BlackZero He dodged a bullet and gained some points by fucking starring in A Hat in Time

I still like the game,but I would love it a lot more if they made smaller levels like in Banjo-Kazooie,the amount of stuff to explore in these small levels made the game so charming in my opinion
That is very depressing to hear that the game is so subpar.
it's just one review bro, don't be discouraged I'm gunna go try it out myself despite dunks opinion cuz it looks fun and I really enjoy the games soundtrack from what I heard so far
Liking it so far. People seem to be very split on this game in general.
If you like banjo kazooie, you'll like this game.
Ya before you give up on the game, check other reviews. I've seen plenty of reviews saying the game is actually fun. Dunkey has his own opinion, while you might have a different one
Dunkey's reviews are actually usually very consistent and spot on, it's the viewer's job to dissect what could be a joke and what could be seriousness, or a mixture of both
Honestly a game that's very inconsistent with tacked on ideas is what older games had. When I play a buggy ps1 looking game on pc, I'm like, this is exactly what it was back then. I love inconsistent games. They're charming in their own way. Watching this, hearing its a mess, makes me want to try it more.
Cope. Older games were NOT always inconsistent. Maybe PS1 games for the most part, but too many masterpieces
things really do just kinda work out for Jontron don't they?

I bought it recently and am having fun with it. I love the nostagia the music brings cause it sounds just like some of the DK 64 music. The gameplay is new and I like the puzzle solving.
The only thing that reeks of ass is the story. Seriously, the whole game is about some guy trying to steal everyone's books so he can find one specific book. You gotta spend the game collecting pages of said book.
I really liked Yooka-Laylee when it came out and I even 100% completed it, but looking back I don't think it's all that good. I think it lacks the ambition and creativity that BK and BT had
Honestly I only keep coming back for his hollow knight segment. This vid and his 2017 are the only mentions well ever get from Him. It’s a shame too because that game deserves a review from dunkey
Just play dark souls
I'm pretty sure Dunkey talked about this game previously
I think if this game got another year in development, it would’ve been a jam.

Another excellent platformer I have had a lot of fun with would be the Jak and Daxter series. The first one is an lovely all-out platformer with very pretty visuals and areas. It's sad that YL turned out pretty lousy, but we always have our good ol' platformers from the past.
Jak is an amazing trilogy. Still hoping for a faithful reboot one day like God of War got.
I was so happy he mentioned Hollow Knight. Thats my favorite game ever, and deserves way more attention
Way more attention? its mentioned in almost every youtube video involving indie games and is owned by 2-5million people...
i was gonna say that lol
Bro you really are an amazing reviewer amd your videos are timeless just amazing
Nah cuz this game is so fun and the jokes are actually funny sometimes. Don’t come for my boy yooka
Love the video but I couldn’t help noticing that it’s not bookworm adventures
After learning some unity myself, its pretty damn clear that the problem was the developers lack of knowledge on the engine. Everything feels very bare bones and stock. Stock particles systems, stock lighting systems, the control feels off, probably because they didnt change the gravity settings in the options, its what gives unity games that sorta floaty feel.
I think the game needed more time in hindsight, give these devs a chance to actually learn how to use unity to its full potential, you can make GREAT games in unity, but if you dont change settings, or you use the tools as basic as possible, your gonna end up with a game that feels like a unity game, not as a game.
Dunkey once said in his video game critics video that you don’t have to agree with everything a critic says to respect them. Generally we are on the same page with liking things. This game was, and still is, the game where I completely disagree with Dunkey. Even years later, I think it’s safely a 4 out of 5 game.
It’s no Banjo, but nothing ever will be.
What’s funny about this video is that hollow knight is also made in unity
Yeah a lot of great games are made in unity. I don't fault dunk for being technically illiterate though, his job is to make us laugh.
I do like that Dunkey's vids often play on expectation and with the knowledge that the fanbase knows what drama's going on at the time of uploading, but just in case someone happens upon this and doesn't know why Jon was removed it's actually because he very, very thoroughly implied that black people are genetically predisposed towards criminal activity and he said much more explicitly that he was concerned about Arab people poisoning the gene pool.
