For quite some time now, platformers have moved beyond being simple children’s games with light-hearted themes and little ambition. Just last year, a platformer even claimed the prestigious title of Game of the Year; of course, we are talking about none other than Sony’s outstanding Astro Bot.
This year, we witnessed the release of Silksong, a game that practically broke the internet on launch day—causing disruptions across the PlayStation Store, Steam, and even the Xbox Network. Moments like these prove not only that platformers are making a strong comeback but also that player interest in the genre is higher than ever.
Yooka-Replaylee might not aim as high as some of the genre’s biggest titles, but it’s certainly one to watch if you’re a fan of platformers. It delivers plenty of fun and even sparks a bit of nostalgia for the golden days of Crash Bandicoot. That said, today we’re not diving into a full review—that will come later. For now, we’re here to share details on how long it takes to finish the game and what you can expect if you’re aiming for 100 per cent completion.
How long will it take to beat Yoka-Replaylee?
Yooka-Replaylee isn't a short game, that's for sure. To beat it fully, according to an official review guide, you'll need 15-17 hours of playing, and that's only if you want to beat the game regularly, finding all that is necessary and some more you'll stumble upon while playing the game. Since the game features only six levels, they can get quite lengthy, especially if you want to look in every nook and cranny.
On the other hand, if you aim for a 100 per cent completion wanting to find and collect everything this platformer has to offer, you'll need to spend 25-30 hours to do that—perhaps even more if you're as thorough as we can be while looking for the in-game collectables.
In any case, Yooka-Replaylee will give you a lot to do if you decide to give it a go and try this very solid platformer yourself.
How many collectables does Yooka-Replaylee feature?
As we said earlier, there's a lot to do in Yooka-Replaylee, and to finish the game completely, you're going to have to sweat your palms really good, meaning you'll need to collect more than a thousand collectables—an impressive feat, really. Here's everything you'll need to find if you want to complete the game as is intended for a 100 per cent completion:

- 35 gameplay Tonics
- 104 cosmetics
Pagies
- 300 main Pagies (progression)
