About Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair

About this game

Join heroes Yooka and Laylee as they return for a new platform hybrid adventure in Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair. With this Steam PC key, you'll follow the quirky duo on a new mission to stop arch-nemesis Capital B.

HE'S AT IT AGAIN!
That dastardly villain Capital B is up to no good, his latest evil masterplan is to use a 'Hivemind' device to enslave an entire kingdom of bees. With the help of Queen Phoebee and her Royal Beetallion, you'll lead Yooka and Laylee into CB's 'Impossible Lair' in an attempt to thwart his evil plans.

2.5D IS THE PLACE TO BE
Enjoy a new yet retro perspective in Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair. Unlike the original Yooka-Laylee title, you'll explore 2.5D platform levels - each offering beautiful, rich visuals with detail and depth.

A NEW HUB
Head to the 3D Overworld, another new feature in Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, which is much more than just a hub to hop from level to level. Explore and unlock more 2D levels by completing objectives and puzzles in the Overworld, rescue the Royal Beetallion bees and find collectibles.

ALTERNATE STATE
Once you've mastered a level, go back and experience again with a range of alternate level states. Flip switches in the Overworld hub to create new landscapes - hook up electricity, submerge them in water, freeze or flip them upside down for radically modified challenges!

KNOW WHEN TO STRIKE (OR STING)
Feel free to tackle Capital B’s Impossible Lair at any time, but be warned as you may find it too much of a challenge without the help of the Royal Beetallion. Help free them by completing levels and add them to your defenses when planning your attack on Capital B’s traps!

YOUR OFFICIAL YOOKA-LAYLEE AND THE IMPOSSIBLE LAIR STEAM PC KEY GIVES YOU:

  • Rich visuals and colorful worlds to explore
  • 2.5D platforming levels with a 3D Overworld hub
  • The latest installment in the adventure platformer series
  • Developed by key creative talent behind 'Donkey Kong Country'

A good platform game with a bitter twist at the end

VicViperV
Verified purchase
A very pleasant platformer for 99% of its time, but which unfortunately crosses the last level, and the reason for this is stated in the name itself - Impossible Lair. All in all it's a nice relaxing game to kick back in the evening, not too easy but with a very balanced approach to each level, but it's the last level that completely changes the game! It becomes hard and cruel, unforgiving of mistakes, and you have to try it again and again until you memorize it, until you have mastered all the moves. Is it still possible to recommend this game? Yes, but be prepared to either suffer a little at the end, or give up and not finish the last level at all.

Great platformer!

I remember seeing this come up as a game for Xbox Gamepass back when I used to subscribe to it, but I thought it looked lame. I have to say, I was wrong. I picked this up as part of a bundle, but I was surprised by the platforming elements presented in this game. It really borrows from many of the good features of most platformers out there like Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong Country, Rayman, and blends them into a fun experience! I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys these sorts of games!

The game is really fun. I'm not a big fan of platformer, but this one I like. It's goofy in the right way and I really like graphics.

If you like old-school mascot platformers, you will likely be into this. Visually the game is well done and the controls are tight. Just a solid platform error. I wouldn't go into it expecting the next blockbuster storyline, but it is a great casual playthrough.

Some of the positives: It feels relaxing to play, first half of the game was the most fun I had with the game. A lot of things to collect around the world. Also has some nice hidden things. Negatives: Gameplay wise it doesn't feel thaaaat good and free style. After the half it got repetitive. And I wasnt a big fun of the side-scrolling levels. Overall a positive review, there is fun to be had and I think the developers should keeps working on games and one day they will have a true gem!
