most clownass thing sweeny's done since delisting the unreal tournament games

that, and in some cases importing the ps1 level geometry into reignited

like yeah, it's technically impressive but. dude just play the ps1 versions at that point

idk what it is with spyro that makes their fandoms like this, people get REALLY elitist about the purble dragon game

not unless you wanna mod it for funsies but man have i seen some Behavior out of the spyro mod community

ALSO for some reason you can buy animated backgrounds and avatar stuff for certain games even if you don't own the games in question? for some reason that rule's only for emoticons and static backgrounds. it's weird

yeah O: emotes and most profile backgrounds (aka the non-animated ones) are buyable on the steam marketplace! i think the only stuff that's steam-points-only is animated backgrounds, avatars and related decorations, and stickers

yeah i'm pretty mixed on the choice too because like. on the one hand odyssey's gameplay feels like a natural evolution of the banjo series' playstyle and i love YL's moveset with that kind of gameplay? on the other hand, it def strays from the banjo-like feel of the OG yook idk mixed feelings too

if you got ten cents in your steam wallet to spare, you can prob just nab it off the steam marketplace o:

also iirc i had issues with navigation in OG yook (keep in mind, i beat the game before the QOL patch), and the map in replaylee does mitigate some of that

replaylee does change up a good deal of the puzzles but i can't remember any standout examples since it's been so long since i played OG yook.

off the top of my head, flying move is now a LOT less broken (it's a "pad"/powerup a la BK/BT now) and capital B's fight is fair instead of stupid hard now

it's been years since i last touched OG yook and i don't think my old review on steam really covers everything iirc, but from what i remember most of my issues with yook were more how the worlds and the puzzles in them were designed?? idk words are hard but it feels off compared to banjo

replaylee skews closer to odyssey in terms of gameplay design philosophy (not really in how the worlds are designed, more of how the game PLAYS), and it's a bit weird esp considering my issues with OG yook weren't even with the more BK/BT design phils like you've already stated
