This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

I appreciate that they wanted to make it better, but honestly I don't think most of the enhancements are what was "wrong" with the game (a map is very welcome, though). And they added another currency?

I wanted to like the original more than I did, and I'm ok with it staying in my memory as a 6/10. Probably won't buy the full version, but might try the demo just to see. Would have rather seen a new game from them instead.

I thought Impossible Lair was pretty good. Of course, it was a complete different genre, and basically that genre was just "Donkey Kong Country". Nevertheless, great execution.

I played the actual YL after that one, and... Yeah, I went through it all and barely remember it. Sure, I don't even have a lot of nostalgia for collectathons, except if you count the 3D Mario kind... But it was definitely bland, and had annoying design problems.

Impossible Lair was a great game. To me, it felt like it was definitely it's own thing but inspired by the classics. I like what they're doing, even if YL was a bit of a miss apparently.
