Grunty is back, and Banjo has his work cut out for him.

Banjo-Tooie's profile is split. On few votes, two things stand out at the top: the wish to rediscover it for the first time, ahead of more than 70% of games, and its soundtrack, in the same range but on a single duel, so to confirm. On the flip side, fun gets stuck near the bottom, ahead of barely 15% of titles on just two votes, and the art style stays in the background. Desert island and attachment land right in the middle. There's the quiet tension of the game: you dream of diving back in, you keep the music, but the immediate pull is missing when it's time to fire it up just for fun.

Next to the big N64 collectathon platformers, it carries the whole genre DNA: eight worlds, puzzles that interlock, sprawling exploration. It's generous, sometimes to the point of a maze.

So, who's it for? For you if you love getting lost in interlinked worlds and combing every corner. A lot less if you want to unwind quickly without being swallowed by ten objectives at once.
