Pros
+Nostalgic design similar to Banjo Kazooie and Tooie
+Big lush worlds with the option to expand them at least once
+Great OST from the music composers of Banjo Kazooie and Tooie

Cons
-Some parts of the game can be frustrating such as the mine karts and later portions of the game.
-Collecting items feel like a chore due to the high requirement to reach the end of the game
-Final boss is a bit of a pain due to the way of the camera is positioned and the amount of health the boss has
