Wtf is with the hate against this game? From actual Banjo-Kazooie fans too, yikes. Game is great! Has the same feel and magic as the original Banjo games, not as many worlds but you can EXPAND each of the worlds, so they became like as big as 2 worlds back in the old games. So it cancels that issue out lol. Characters are funny, graphics are actually pretty nice, and music is from the same composer. Honestly, what's not to love? Game doesn't have THAT bad reviews, but it deserves even more positive ones, so here's mine.

100% this game twice now... Still holds up well. If you're thinking about trying this game, I'd recommend waiting for the remake.

March 2024

Having fun with this game so far. Cute little collect-a-thon platformer (obviously inspired by Banjo-Kazooie and other games like that from the late 1990s / early 2000s). I have to say though, the character voice acting is annoying as all hell... I get that it is trying to recreate the style from the classic games, but it's way too much. Definitely turn the voices down / off.

Feb. 2024

The reviews were all over the place with this game. Consider it a less refined Banjo Kazooie experience. It does have its issues but nothing is terrible. To keep the review short, it just needed refinement. If you like platformers you will like this most likely. Definitely worth checking out considering how cheap this gets when it goes on sale. I would like to see the devs do a 3d sequel with a bigger budget.

Jan. 2024

This isn't nearly as bad as people say. In fact, it's quite good! It's a Banjo-Kazooie clone, warts and all. In my opinion it lacks a lot of the charm of its spiritual predecessor, but makes up for it with slightly better gameplay. I'd rank it a step beneath Banjo-Kazooie for sure, but the people acting like it's some sort of travesty are exaggerating. I was in the mood to play B-K but I don't have any present means to play it anymore, and this definitely scratched the itch. I wouldn't buy it for full price, but it goes on sale a lot and I got it for only $5 and it was absolutely worth it.
