These reviews seem extremely unfair. Obviously I haven't played it yet but I'm only seeing two complaints. One complaint is that the game is rough around the edges. That is a fair complaint. However the second complaint seems to be that Yooka-Laylee is a platformer, calling it out dated and that is completely unfair! You can't give it a negative score just because you don't like the genre. I don't like stealth games but it wouldn't be fair to give Metal Gear Solid a 2/10. You'd think these review companies would get a fan of platformers to review Yooka-Laylee, not people who despise platformers... To me it looks like Yooka-Laylee is exactly what the KickStarter backers wanted, except the game is not as polished as it should be. A game that's only "true" complaint being a little rough around the edges should still get a good score.
