Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair (Steam)

This is a pretty fun 2D platformer, another DKC-like. The goal of the game is to finish one extra-long level (the Impossible Lair) with multiple bosses, and you can challenge that level at any time. Each bee you rescue from the other stages gives you an extra hit on the Impossible Lair, up to 48 + the 1 hit you get normally.

I needed all of them! I mean, I feel like I could have just ground it out until I could do it without. I've done harder levels in platformers, like idk White Palace. But it was still tricky and the other levels were fun so I went and got all the bees anyway, which makes the whole thing substantially easier.

Compared to Kaze and the Wild Masks I'm not sure which is the better DKC-like. Initially I would have said Kaze but I spent like 18 hours on YL, not sure I'd have been game to play Kaze that long. They're both good, in any case.

...Incidentally, 100%ing this game means beating the Impossible Lair without any bees and uh, I'll pass on that one.
