[@Zeddak]

Too true

[@TheMuffinButton96]

I’ve liked a game so much I bought it on all three consoles it was available on ($25 indie game with the third copy being $15 cuz I caught it on sale by pure luck, so I didn’t spend like $180 on one game), solely to support the creators 😅

[@bobbyshewan4229]

Muffin Button what game?

[@TheMuffinButton96]

Bobby Shewan Blasphemous. Incredible Metroidvania with a really dark twist on religious art from the developer’s home country, Spain. Everything about it is amazing; atmosphere, gameplay mechanics (primarily the combat, being a game that forces you to learn to how to parry/riposte), the artwork and animation, everything. If you like Castlevania even in the slightest, you would love this game.

[@robertlauncher]

Here’s the thing Caddy. From everything you’ve said, it sounds like Impossible Lair controls closer to the original trilogy in terms of weight and feel than Retro’s games. Not to say they aren’t great games too, but they did alter a lot in terms of overall game feel. I’d say give the SNES games a shot with the way you’re talking

Your so right. Legit sounds identical to the original trilogy.

I never even considered trying this game, but this review has given more thought towards it. Heck, I even went and bought the soundtrack on Bandcamp, and it's pretty good!

[@Onipax]

As someone who also really liked the first Yooka-Laylee, I love the Impossible Lair as well. Every point you made in this video is spot on, especially the soundtrack. The Soundtrack is extraordinary, but I honestly didn't expect anything less. My absolute favorite little thing in this game is this 80's Rock track when Pagie Power is activated along with the record scratch when it's over. Oh, and of course the bee puns, who doesn't enjoy them?

Had to finally buy this game.. I wasn’t disappointed. Hours of fun, but can be frustratingly addictive. Controls are so tight and enjoyable to play. So satisfying when you find those twit coins as well as completing the level to free a bee. Such an underrated game, same as the first

[@Grimfang999]

8:40 Lay low for a while? Dont you mean Yooka Laylow for a while? You disappoint me Caddy.

[@RikouHogashi]

Interesting when he mentions DKC I feel like he's only referring to the Post-Rare Era games not the awesome SNES trilogy

[@nickofzo]

Indeed, there are also more people from the original snes trilogy involved in YL than the newer dkc games. You can also see it in the darker tone visual style in most of the levels just like the original DKC. I would go as far as saying that: "YL is more DKC than the new DKC games"

[@salmonblox]

Super old comment, but I noticed that, too. Things he said about control being slippery and losing abilities when you lose your different Kong buddies don’t really apply to the SNES era games. I enjoyed Yooka Laylee myself, quite a bit, but I have never felt more control over a 2D platforming character than I did with Diddy Kong on the SNES.

8:00 So the roll works like classic DKC? Seriously though, he is right when he says it feels better. Retro really never needed to change that to begin with. I guess they did it so DK’s momentum felt heavier, but part of the classic trilogy’s fun was that the roll could be used to plow through sections if you knew how to use it. And not just a matter of hoping you can keep your partner

Awesome video as always Caddy, only one gripe, when you compare it with DKC you mention the new ones as the whole franchise when in reality the original trilogy (excluding 64 because of how different that game is) is way closer of what you described in the video, for example the mecanic of keep rolling only when hitting enemies, the momentum and precision of the movement and the similarities in the mecanics when losing one of the two caracters (7:47 in the video). Apart from that great video, I will be looking forward on buying this game and try it myself :)
