Yooka-Laylee krijgt tot nu toe redelijk positieve reviews, maar er zijn een paar klachten die vaak terugkeren. De voornaamste zijn de camera en prestatieproblemen. Gelukkig komt er bij de release op 11 april een patch uit die deze problemen moet oplossen.
Xbox One-gamers die de Kickstarter-campagne van Yooka-Laylee hebben gesteund, krijgen zelfs al eerder toegang tot de patch: zodra ze de game ontvangen, is de day-one patch al te downloaden. PlayStation 4- en pc-gamers die geld hebben gedoneerd aan ontwikkelaar Playtonic, moeten helaas wél wachten tot 11 april.
