Yooka - Laylee and the Impossible Lair is GOTY.

Great Colorful Graphics?  Check

Great music inspired by Donkey Kong Country? Check

Great levels that can be altered into other great levels?  Check

A great end level that's so hard, it puts Super Meat Boy to shame?  Check

The greatest overworld in any 2d platform game ever, that almost feels like a top down Zelda?  Check

Great characters including a snake named Trowzer? Check

Nice long campaign that never feels boring? Check

I didn't have to pay a dime for it, because Epic gave it away with their Fortnite money thinking it would somehow convince me to buy a game on Epic Game Store (It didn't work)?  Check

 

 

This game meets all the requirements, it is game of the year.  Resident Evil 2, Sekiro, Disco Elysium... Piss off, you don't hold a candle to this greatness! 

 

Bow down before your Gods

I stopped reading when you said the end level was great. It was complete trash and was where I stopped playing the game. Making the player essentially grind the same long ass level over and over again wasn't a test my skill but instead just a waste of my time.

 

Everything else was good but the last level sunk the game.

Maybe try Flower and Journey.  No dying (or gaming) in those games!

Great job completely missing the point. I have no problem with difficult games, but that level is trial and error bullshit that just feels like a waste of time.
