"Disappointed" is not a strong enough word to describe how Yooka Laylee made me feel. Banjo Kazooie is one of my favorite games from my childhood, so when the Yooka Laylee Kickstarter was announced, I backed it without hesitation at a high enough level to even get some extra goodies. I followed through every stage of this game's development and I was so unbelievably excited for its launch. So when I finally got my hands on this game and was greeted with an absolutely middling-quality collectathon that controlled like garbage and had noticeable input lag, I was crushed. This isn't the worst video game I've ever played, but I could make a case for it being the most disappointing game for me personally. Hey, at least the art and music is nice.
