Yooka-Laylee starts with the titular duo having their prized book stolen by the villains in a greedy attempt to horde the world’s books, for whatever reason.

This ensures that you’ll take on at least some of the secondary activities rather than blitz through the game.

Outlast 2 seems to want to be bigger and better than the first game in every way. That’s a nice focus, but it ends up diluting the experience somewhat. The game opens on a helicopter ride, which, well… players likely know where that’s going.
