Yooka-Laylee

One of the most puzzling additions implemented in Yooka-Laylee is the quiz based progression areas that require the player to answer several questions in order to progress to the next area. While this seems like a fun idea, the issues begin to arise when the actual questions are based on superficial knowledge that a player might forget. Questions like what was your first Pagie or where this random photograph was taken force players to try and remember as much arbitrary information as possible. It’s not a fun mechanic and makes the idea of advancing stages a headache since you are only allowed to get three questions wrong before starting over from the beginning.

It slows the pace down of the gameplay dramatically and since you only have ten seconds to answer each question you won’t have a lot of time to remember the needed info. What becomes even more puzzling is that given this game is aimed for a younger audience, PlayTonic is relying on them to remember random, throwaway knowledge that one would never think to retain. While some of the questions are easy, it’s an addition that should have never made it through development, as the quiz section was just as annoying in the original Banjo-Kazooie.
