    Look, it's a Donkey Kong Country, it's a top-down Zelda, it's... a spin-off to Yooka-Laylee? We stand at the base of Capital B's eponymous challenge with no choice but to crack open some magical books for protection. Hopefully y'all don't mind your literature getting messy, because these chapters become damp with water, thick with smog, and gooey with honey.
