Review Yooka-Replaylee (Switch 2) - Feels Like The Game It Was Meant To Be, Finally
Capital B here now
11 (!) years ago, a bunch of ex-Rare staff formed a studio called Playtonic to make Yooka-Laylee, a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie that promised to skillfully carry the 3D platforming torch. Yet when the actual game launched in 2017, following an incredibly successful Kickstarter campaign, it didn’t fully deliver on that...

Taking the Pragmata approach
Hello. Okay, enough waffling, for goodness' sake. This week saw the release of Pragmata from Capcom for the Switch 2, and though it should really come as no surprise, the action title is really darn good. We awarded it a score of 9/10. We also received news that the Legend of Zelda movie has now officially wrapped...
"people forget we’re a relatively small indie team"

News Boom! Yooka-Replaylee's 60fps Switch 2 Performance Mode Is Finally Here
Yooka-So-Smoothy
After its release in October 2025, Yooka-Replaylee is finally playable at 60fps on Switch 2 thanks to a new update from Playtonic Games. Many were understandably disappointed when the Switch 2 version launched with its performance capped at 30fps (heck, it was one of just two 'cons' in our 8/10 review), so this will no doubt prove...

About The Game
Yooka-Replaylee is the definitive remastered and enhanced version of the 3D indie platforming collectathon darling, Yooka-Laylee (2017), developed by key creative talent behind the Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country games.
New remixed challenges and old favourites await as you embark to explore the huge, beautiful open worlds as the lovable buddy-duo Yooka (the green one) and Laylee (the purple one) once more, all while backed by a beautiful orchestral soundtrack. Did we mention there is a map now? A shiny new currency? And tons of customisation options? The favourite buddy duo has never moved, looked, or sounded better!
Corporate creep Capital B is on a quest to steal all the books in the world and turn them into cold hard cash. BUT the most powerful book in the universe is right under his crooked nose in the neighbouring Shipwreck Creek, home to our adventurous buddy-duo, Yooka and Laylee! Seeing their prized book stolen pulls them into a wacky adventure across many fantastical & imaginative worlds, full of colourful characters and vault-loads of shiny collectibles.
Can you find all of the magical Pagies from their book and save the day?
