Playtonic’s rather fab Yooka-Laylee sequel, the Impossible Lair, will soon be getting a demo on PC, PlayStation 4, and Switch – meaning those still on the fence can finally try before they buy.
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, which launched toward the end of last year, sees the titular lizard and bat duo mixing things up for outing number two.
While the first, rather uneven, game in the series saw Playtonic riffing on developer Rare’s beloved Banjo-Kazooie games, its sequel swaps fully 3D platforming for strictly side-scrolling action. The most obvious touchstone this time around is Donkey Kong Country – specifically, Retro Studios’ critically acclaimed outings – and the result is an experience that feels tighter, more enjoyable, and supremely more assured.
