It's not that Yooka is bad they just gave the fans what they asked for in another Banjo game unfortunately we all learned that the formula didn't hold up to the test of time as much as we thought.
Yooka is good but it's more of a calling to days gone by, hopefully the sequel takes a leap forward.
Skyrim you can crank hours into it and still enjoy it. It's more about immersion than the story.
