Yooka-Laylee wasn't that bad it's just that people don't know what the hell they want.

The controls worked fine, the levels were gorgeous, the weird burbling noises were a thing in the Banjo series that people wanted YL to emulate in the first place, and while the powerups weren't flashy they weren't bad either. The only thing I can really agree on with commentary about the game is that exiting worlds to expand them is slightly annoying as you can't 100% a world first run but the game was fine people just thought they wanted a new collect-a-thon platformer but when they got one they crashed out.

• Also I don't consider Yoshi's Island to be part of the Super Mario Bros series simply because while it's called Super Mario World 2 (despite being a prequel) it's also a game with a different playable character, a different gameplay (yes, it's platforming but not with the same mechanics) and if DKC and Wario Land are seen as separate series then this one as well.

I agree. Yoshi's Island isn't a Mario game. It's a Yoshi game.

People who disconnects when they're invaded in a Soulslike game are clearly not ready for online gaming and should have every surface in their house covered in foam and bubblewrap.

Mario Land 3 isn't either a Mario Land game, is officially a Wario Land game
