Comment on close to finishing Super Mario Odyssey and was wondering which games are similar

The second I saw someone mention A Hat In Time my mind sprung to thinking Yooka-Laylee as a viable option. It’s made by a studio founded by ex-RAR employees, IIRC, and has been a game I’ve played on and off but find a lot of fun. Especially from an exploration standpoint.
Game is basically running through a giant hub, going from level to level, collecting magic book pages, all in order to get back a book that was stolen from one of the main characters. Levels are pretty big too, with expansions as well. Has a Banjo Kazooie vibe, from what I know about that franchise.
There’s also a switch port, assuming you don’t feel like spending $19.99 on Steam for the original ( 7.48GB space required ) or $29.99 for the remaster ( 25.96GB space required )

I didnt “get” yooka laylee. I played like 1 or 2 hours and I was just deeply bored compared to something like a hat in time or odyssey - is it just a slow starter?

I think it is more of a slower game in general. I’ve only been to maybe 3-4 levels and it definitely isn’t as fast paced as games like odyssey. Doesn’t help that there’s usually a quiz about the previous level in between being able to access each new area in the hub world after the first level.
Cannot say whether the remaster makes the gameplay any faster or not considering I’m still trying to beat the original.

I think I just didn’t see much room for expression in the movement system, but I guess that if its a banjo kazooie type game you might only unlock ways to do different things later on
