@Julien The only levels I would consider bad are levels 3 and 4. The best world is level 5 so there is plenty to look forward to. On the whole, I love this game's environments.
I believe this game is a confident return to form for the people who worked on these kinds of games in the past. I am sure the guys over at Playtonic will be able to pick themselves up from the bootstraps and make something completely amazing with the sequel.
There are a few notable complaints I have with the game. The levels feel a little to vast and the collectibles, quills mostly, do not feel well placed. It becomes such a bother to find them because so many are hidden off the beaten path. I feel that if quills were scattered to lead your eye into every part of a level, they would work much better. The hunter tonic is appreciated, I just wish it was not needed since notes in Banjo-Kazooie, for example, were not extremely hard to find at all.
Most of the levels are hard to navigate as well since they are so big, and they are missing notable landmarks to help guide the way. The worst cases being in Moodymaze Marsh and Capital Cashino. Tribalstack Tropics also suffers a little as well.
And we all know the minecart sections and Rextro's games are not really fun at all.
Other than those complaints however, I find a lot to compliment. The moves feel really fun to use. I also like how the game promotes unlocking the worlds super fast so that you can gain all the moves and move so much easier through the game. The game actually changes once you unlock Yooka and Laylee's flying move. It turns the confusing romps through extremely large levels into a joyride as you cut a beeline from one end of the map to the other.
The last level, The Galaxy pirate place, is also a masterwork. It is by far the best level in the game. It is easily navigable and each section does well for itself by being little levels within the larger one.
I feel like the Playtonic team could easily address my complaints in a sequel, so I'll be waiting for Twoka Laylee eagerly.

For the record, I have not felt any input lag for any move. My experience with the game has been quite positive regarding the controls.
