    Gentle and generous, Good-Feel delivers its best game yet in this imaginative and breezy platformer. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    It’s an imaginative game that’s effortlessly pleasing, perfectly suited to family play or as a train-journey stress-reliever. I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: nobody does cute like Nintendo.

    Yoshi’s Crafted World reminds me, in a way, of Sierra’s The Incredible Machine series. In those games, players needed to understand mechanics, size up the situation, piece together simple machines, and execute. By channeling Labo’s construction spirit into the long-standing conventions of a Yoshi game, Crafted World’s carved out a similar work-play functionality. I’m not always having fun, but I want to get it right. Yoshi’s counting on me.

    Yoshi's Crafted World is a chill little platformer. So relaxing is this game that I heartily recommend it as Sekiro's ultimate companion piece.

    It’s painfully adorable. Platforming games like this are often built around challenges and inventive design, and while Crafted World has some of this, mostly, it’s just a really pleasant place to be.

    It’s a leisurely, relaxing adventure that is absolutely confident in its abilities – and for those happy to have such an experience, a very easy recommendation. It’s the best Yoshi game in years.

It shows a perfect combination of precious graphics and new interesting game mechanics that provide freshness and multiple varied situations. The soundtrack may be scarce at first, but it perfectly fuses with the gameplay so that you are not aware of the repetition of some themes. This game is the perfect opportunity to experience a relaxed trip through the crafted worlds with one of our favourite characters.… Full Review »

    Another great Yoshi's outing. Big, sprawling, and more about COLLECTING than platforming, which I love! It's like Pikmin marrying Mario!Another great Yoshi's outing. Big, sprawling, and more about COLLECTING than platforming, which I love! It's like Pikmin marrying Mario!

    Those who say this game is easy have not gotten all the flowers. Which is the proper way to actually beat this game. Credits rolling does not = beating the game. Get all the flowers or miss out on how challenging this game can get. Some of the new levels the open up are A+ platform level in difficulty. Trying to clear those AND getting all the flowers, OMG!

    And, I read some complaints about the bosses: the DOJO Puzzle Boss was fantastic. One of the best designs of a boss stage ever. It requires true brain power!

    Collect all the costumes YES. However, I would suggest not using them much as they make the game easier (though Wooly World had something like this too).

    Overall, a fantastic experience from beginning to end!    … Full Review »

I've always had a bias against the Yoshi series because most of his games are incredibly sub par (New Island, Touch and Go, Topsy Turvy, Story, etc). The graphics are great and the levels are super well designed. There could have been more innovation though, and the game is admittedly easy. It is all around a fun, but kinda forgettable adventure. Yoshi's Island remains unbeaten.… Full Review »
