I hate to admit it, but I've never played a Banjo Kazooie game. When I heard about this game being a "spiritual successor," I skimmed the screenshots and quickly moved on. I have no expectations for this game, nor is it on my radar. I might check it out eventually. I do appreciate the vibrant aesthetic, however.
Playtonic feel like the Blues Brothers. Bringing the gang back together for one final gig.
