Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, A New Trailer

Debuted at this year E3, Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is genuinely an underrated diamond of this event. The original game in the series - Yooka-Laylee is a mixed rated game due to it trying to do too much at once. This installment tones things down a little bit.

Impossible Lair features a side-scrolling polygonal platformer graphic with emitting out a definite vibe of Donkey Kong Country. And what their dev team showed off at E3, clearly say that they want to make something stand out from other games in the market.

A new trailer

Just a few days ago, they released a trailer showing off more of the gameplay. It goes alongside with some alternate states that feature a different gaming experience when you are replaying the stages depending on their condition.

You use switches in the overworld to change a particular stage from snowy to full of sun and flowers. With that same mechanics, you could also submerge an entire stage to change its dynamic entirely. While other switches can simply send you to a brand new area.

Each stage has two states. So the total playable stages count is 40. While recycling a stage seems like a convenient way to increase the level count, the feature to change a certain stage from snow-covered to sunny is really interesting. That is something that makes rerunning a stage exciting and worthwhile even if it is not a totally new one. It is similar to Ridge Racer saying that it had lots of tracks when all of those were just parts of a bigger stage.

It is coming

Impossible Lair will hit Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC later on this year. It will be available with digital and boxed retail versions. We will keep you updated on the game as its launch draws closer. The dev team of this game - The Playtonic has made a good game. It features the classic feel of DKC with its speed, while the music is also amazing. Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is a must-have game for platformer fans and will be a fascinating title for the Switch.
