    The game is relatively not punishing yet not easy, and it does have that Nintendo polish on it. It’s incredibly engaging as long as you accept this game for what it is (which is not Yoshi’s Island). In comparison to other games Good-Feel has done for Nintendo, this is one of their best and that’s because it’s not trying to be Yoshi’s Island or Kirby’s Dream Land with a cute aesthetic, but a new type of game using a familiar move set… and it’s much better than their last outing Princess Peach: Showtime!

    Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a cosy game that is full of whimsy and charm. It is unique, as it rewards curiosity and exploration at your own pace.

    Ultimately, I had a wonderful time playing Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. The focus on experimentation with a multitude of different creatures in a gorgeous storybook setting works well, and creates the gameplay loop that I not only enjoyed, but that I can’t remember experiencing before. It’s a little on the easy side, and can feel very repetitive towards the end, but there’s still a lot to enjoy.
