Today, we may be unable to propose a review of Mass Effect: Andromeda as the rest (thank you EA for that), but we have a little something which will hopefully make it up to you guys. Yooka-Laylee will finally be released on April 11, but we've been sent an early copy of the PC version and are allowed to show some gameplay footage recorded in the first part of the hub, the first world and the "basic" version of world 2 (each world exists in 2 versions, normal and extended). We should have a full review up on April 4, but until then, if you have questions, then ask away (as long as it doesn't concern things we can't discuss obviously). Enjoy the preview videos!

Also, are you allowed to talk about the game's graphics settings and/or performance on PC? And any chance of doing a livestream of the parts you're allowed to show?
Other than those things, the other questions I have are most likely not allowed to be talked about yet. I really hope the game delivers since 3D platformers are very rare now, and if Yooka-Laylee is very successful - both critically and commercially - more companies will start investing in the genre.
No livestreams before April 10 sadly, 6 days after the reviews. :/

I can see what you mean. It does come across as looking like level design from a slew of average platformers from the mid to late 90's.
Some of the thematic stuff can be great if it's done right and not just cobbled together to look like something that resembles an asset placeholder dump that's been left open on the designer's desktop. More levels like Banjo's Mad Monster Mansion and less of that sort of thing.
