Being an early pre-alpha build, the core systems are in place - the driving, the zanny items, and courses - but actually playing Yooka-Laylee felt a bit rough. Driving around, even without the use of boosts, felt slippery, where I would often find myself sliding oddly into walls, frequently feeling that turning was cranked up to 11 and being far too extreme in movement. The current build lacked a mini-map or any signage to help tip you off as to what was coming up. I would find it difficult to notice what was quickly approaching, forcing me to react more violently than I normally would.
