Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair Free on Epic Games Store

The Epic Games Store 12 Days of Free Games continues with Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair. The game is available for free through the Epic Games Store until January 1.  

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is the followup to Yooka-Laylee, with a slight twist. While the original Yooka-Laylee was a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie, Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair draws from the classic Donkey Kong Country as a 2.5D platformer.

In Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, Yooka and Laylee must collect items and abilities to take on Capital B. Defeating the Impossible Lair is a tough task. Still, to make it easier, the Royal Bee Guards can assist Yooka and Laylee through their challenges.  

The game also features an overworld not only to connect each of the levels but includes puzzles and collectibles to find.

What is surprising is how recent of a game this is to be in a free promotion. While other games in the 12 Days of Free Games have been out for a couple of years, Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair came out in October of this year.
