I liked both Yooka games, but the first definitely had its flaws. I only played it years later with all the fixes, so I don't know how bad it was before. But as a 3D platformer fan from the N64 era, I also had a good time with Yooka.
But to defend A Hat in Time: It was just more innovative with the 3D platformer genre. Every level was different, not only in its theme, but also in the kind of tasks you had to do. I also really liked the tight controls that made platforming fun. Overall it's just a much better game than Yooka imo. Of course some people may prefer the oldschool clunky platformers.

Playing an older game like Mario 64 right before probably helped your senses, yea. The camera was okay-ish after the patch, but the hit detection I just couldn't get past. Combined with the flight it really made the last part of the game a slog.
Impossible Lair is still on my revisit list for sometime this summer. I played it and beat it before they patched and made the Lair easier, but that doesn't really matter because I want to find all the bees and stuff anyway.
I may even give the original Yooka a fresh shot. ...
I completed the game the originally intended way and didn’t use the checkpoints. Went into the final battle for the first time with zero bees and managed to get the end sequence still in-tact somehow. Lost Laylee on the end sequence but just survived to tell the story...
I’ve only got 5 bees and coins left to collect so although I’m not normally a completionist I think I’m going to return to the game to collect them. And then...take on the Impossible Lair without bees, aka the real Impossible Lair, because I’m mental.
