The Nostalgia Behemoth - Banjo Kazooie Review 

I definitely didn't get the hype prior to playing it. It's all the stuff that people criticise DK64 for, how can all these people be so ride-or-die for this game? People are generally much more negative to both sequels so I feel obligated to try them

Eh...maybe they only had an n64 and that was one of the first games.
