Yooka-Laylee And The Impossible Lair s New Demo Includes The Titular Impossible Lair

Playtonic has released a new demo for Yooka-Laylee And The Impossible Lair that includes the titular level. Last year's and the Impossible Lair was well received by both fans and critics alike. Adopting elements from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the whole goal of the game was to topple the titular "Impossible Lair" level. The conceit was that you'd normally have a single hit point of health, but could extend that bar by completing various levels to increase your health gauge. It's a brutal challenge that helps give the game some identity, something that its predecessor didn't have. If you've yet to give it a shot, now you're in luck. Developer Playtonic has released a new demo that shows off a few of the levels from the main adventure. , you can even tackle the titular level and try to beat the game with limited health. The demo has no time limit, includes a tonic (an ability that lets the main characters transform), a pagie challenge, and the ability to transfer your save to the main game. Or you can just finish the game. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY That's a hell of a demo! If you're wondering why a demo for Impossible Lair wasn't available before launch, you'll have to remember that Playtonic is an indie studio. , the team didn't have enough resources to spare to create a demo before launch. Likely due to the success the main game had, it was able to go back and craft this demo for prospective players to try out. It's more surprising that the final level is included here. It's very unlikely that anyone would be able to boot this up and jump straight into that final challenge, but I suppose this would be an easy way to get some speedrunning tournaments set up. With the demo not having a time limit, you'll be able to smash your head against the wall enough times that you could possibly finish it. Whatever the case, this is a great move by Playtonic. Many are still wary of the Yooka-Laylee name, but this sequel is definitely solid. It doesn't reinvent platformers, but its interesting hook makes for a joyous experience from start to finish. Source:
