    The new mechanics really make this game shine. I mean, Yoshi is adorable on his own, but there's a feeling of cohesion here, like every little element is perfectly in place. No lengthy cutscenes or unnecessary exposition, just pure charm all the way.

    The gameplay is pretty standard: go through each level and find all the collectibles. If you're the type who enjoys finding absolutely everything, then there is plenty here for you to find. The visuals are truly unique due to everything being "crafted": objects are taped together, environments use carboard boxes and strings, colors are vibrant and it all comes together to make a fantastic, charming experience.

    The music, I found, is incredibly lacking. Most levels will feature the same soundtrack with a few different ones here and there; however, even those I found to be mediocre. Every level, mini boss, and boss are very easy and don't offer much of a challenge; but, despite the lack of challenge, Yoshi's Crafted World is incredibly fun and I think that matters most.

    All in all, if you own a Switch, and can't decide to pick this one up, don't hesitate and have a blast with this welcome addition to the series.    … Expand

The collectibles in this game keep making me want to come back to the levels to find them all, personally, I haven't got all of the collectibles myself, but I have finished the main storyline. This is one of the best Yoshi games out there for new players and returning players. In most of my reviews, I've pointed out that I don't care about the graphics, but the character in this game (Baby Bowser) looks exactly like Bowser Jr. without the bib and it's not his original style for Baby Bowser and that kind of disappointed me and it felt like the developers were being lazy with his character model, but that's just a minor fault of the developers. Also, the cutscenes are short, simple, and interactive and the way the bosses form is just brilliant, it takes you back to when you were a kid and you imagined every piece of furniture/scraps/machines/art/everyday items as an entity that had a personality attached to it. This game is so crafty and distracts you from how the real world is, the music is catchy and pleasant. I've also wondered why black and white Yoshi are not in this game? Overall an amazing experience, especially the Poochy and Poochy Pups mechanic that just makes the game a lot more fun. The multiplayer kind of changes the pace of things, but you get a laugh out of it. Especially the riding on each other part, that cracked me up, like Yoshi attack ride! Also, those mini-games are on point! Satisfying game.… Expand

    Yoshi's Crafted World is another adorable, stylish, family-friendly platformer from the developer behind Kirby's Epic Yarn, and Yoshi's Wooly World. I had a lot of fun with it but ultimately felt Good-Feel back-peddled a little bit from Wooly World.

    Yoshi's Wooly World was clearly channeling Yoshi's Island for the SNES but Crafted World is much closer to Yoshi's Story for the N64. It's    Yoshi's Crafted World is another adorable, stylish, family-friendly platformer from the developer behind Kirby's Epic Yarn, and Yoshi's Wooly World. I had a lot of fun with it but ultimately felt Good-Feel back-peddled a little bit from Wooly World.

    Yoshi's Wooly World was clearly channeling Yoshi's Island for the SNES but Crafted World is much closer to Yoshi's Story for the N64. It's still a side-scroller but you're occasionally able to go forwards and backwards into the environment. It's extremely limited, unfortunately and left me yearning for a true 3D Yoshi. The other way in which this game resembles Yoshi's Story is that it's much less focused on platforming and more focused on exploration and puzzle solving. This gives Crafted World a much more relaxed feeling than every Yoshi game that's come before. Unfortunately, this relaxed gameplay combined with the lack of challenge makes it hard to stay engaged with Crafted World. I played through the entire game in 2-player with my roommate and we generally only played for an hour or two before getting bored. The difficulty thankfully does escalate so give it a few hours to pick up steam. If you've played the demo, you'll know what I'm talking about. It is thankfully not THAT easy for its entireity. One great addition is the costumes. Like Mario Odyssey, you now accumulate money between stages, which can be used to purchase costumes for Yoshi.

    Unfortunately, the main way in which Crafted World takes a step back is with its 100% quest. While Wooly World on the Wii U had me playing to 100% completion with a sensible amount of optional collectibles, Crafted World immediately drowns you in collectibles and dull side-missions. Every level has 5-10 flowers in the open, as well as flowers for obtaining all 20 red-coins, finishing the level at full-health, 4 more for playing each level in reverse, as well as hide-and-seek objectives I never participated in. It's absolute overkill, requiring you to play stages over and over and over that will only draw the most dedicated completionists. Worse, most of it is tedious or just not that compelling. There's no option to retry from checkpoints, many stages have one way doors that prevent you from backtracking, and I never stopped being annoyed when I'd find 19 of the 20 red coins and get nothing for it. One specific oddity is that you're not able to get collectibles you missed when playing the reverse-stage, which seems like a missed opportunity to lessen the tedium. You need to obtain flowers to progress through the game but the required number is very low and you thankfully only need about 50% of the total to get the final challenge levels. I happily stopped playing after these challenge levels as I felt I'd seen everything the game had to offer. It seems to me that Good-Feel was aware of how mundane its extra content was so they only required you to dip your toes in it. I'm left wondering why they didn't instead offer less objectives but make them actually worth your time.

    Yoshi's Crafted World is a delightful platformer, that's generally pretty enjoyable but only hits a high note a few times in its 10-15 hour quest. It wants to focus more on exploration but is still chained to the second dimension, while its platforming and 100% quest are a notable step backwards. It's a good time but hard for me to recommend over Mario Odyssey or Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, even for a younger gamer.    … Expand

    Yet, it is not perfect. Resolution when docked is not the best at all and in portable it is blurry as hell, still, it doesn't affect the gaming and fun when playing. Soundtrack is good, but too repetitive, the main theme will stuck in your head until you don't know if you love it or hate it. Unavoidable. And it's last negative aspect, obviously... it's price. Yes it is a Nintendo main line Yoshi game, what do you expected? Well, nothing. At the end I'm not gonna play as many hours on this yoshi than SSBU, so... that's why. Nevertheless, as I said, i am enjoying and having lots of fun with this shiny little gem that is Yoshi's crafted world.    … Expand

Was mir an dem neuen Yoshi nicht ganz gut gefiel war der leichte Grind und die Schwierigkeit des letzten Bosses. Denn man kann nach Abschluss der Level diese wiederholen und bestimmte Gegenstände, die Yoshis neue Freunde wollen, im Hinter- und Vordergrund abschießen. Ist manchmal ganz witzig, kann aber auch nerven gerade wenn man gefühlt 3- 4 mal durchs level läuft, weil man den Gegenstand nicht findet. Obwohl der letzte Boss recht happig war finde ich doch, dass der Kampf ziemlich genial designt war. Wenn er dann platt ist erscheint er einem dann doch nicht sooo schwer. Also vorsicht wer das Spiel 100% mit allen Grinseblumen und so durchspielen will. Ist nicht so einfach wie man denkt. Und vielleicht noch eine Warnung an die ganz Kleinen. Es gibt in einem düsteren Stadtlevel Horrorclowns mit Äxten, die auf einen zulaufen und zuschlagen , während sie leicht unheimliche Geräusche machen. Und im gleichen Level sieht eine Hauswand aus als wäre da Blut runtergelaufen mit roten Handabdrücken nebenan. Keine Ahnung was sich Entwickler dabei denken. Gehört für mich einfach nicht rein.

    Ansonsten wurden alte Stärken verbessert. Die Atmosphä re wurde wieder richtig gut gemacht mit passender Musik. Etwas mehr Musikauswahl hätte es trotzdem geben können. Das Gefühl mit Yoshi durch die Level zu hüpfen ist angenehm. Ich fands cool, dass es viele Tierchen aus dem Snes Spiel in dieses Abenteuer geschafft haben. Die Geheimnisse sind gut platziert. Die Münzen sehen richtig lecker aus. Hat mir Spaß gemacht es zu sammeln, vorallem weil es in jedem Gebiet einen Gatchaautomaten oder so gibt. Dort kann man Geld reinstecken und Kostüme ergattern. Zum anziehen waren sie mir dann doch etwas zu ulkig aber gesammelt hab ich sie trotzdem gern. Irgendwie hat mich Kamek an Sony erinnert mit seinen Zaubersprüchen und bowser jr. an ein xbox kiddie. Wollten die Nintendo Power stehlen aber nix da.    … Expand

I found myself becoming addicted to collecting all the Smiley Flowers, and almost never found that the game was trying to stretch my play time, due to the levels having great replay value thanks to the Flip-Side mechanic. Music and bosses (expect for the final one) are lacking in my opinion.

    My biggest fear entering the game is that it would be too easy, however, the game filled almost this niche role in my life. The difficulty is not that challenging, but it became this game I would play whenever I needed to relax after a long day, and discovering every little collectible was a feel-good moment.

    Yoshi’s Crafted World is a great 2D platformer with a charming art style and unique level design. The variety of worlds is incredible. You most likely won’t ever see a theme twice in your playthrough. I also like, how each level has its own gameplay elements, which make them even more memorable as they already are, because of the artstyle.

You most likely won’t ever see a theme twice in your playthrough. I also like, how each level has its own gameplay elements, which make them even more memorable as they already are, because of the artstyle. The ability to shoot eggs at objects in the background also makes the levels more alive. Although this ability is sometimes required to collect red coins or crafts, I would have liked it more, if it would have been used more often to progress in a level, since this is the first Yoshi game with such a mechanic.

    I also like, that you have to collect some of the smiley flowers to progress in the game, so you don’t just rush through each level, without examining the environment. After completing a level you get access to the flipside of the level. Instead of collecting coins or smiley flowers, you have to find all three poochy babies and bring them to the goal in time to get all the awards. Even though it’s nice to see a stage from the other side, I’m a bit disappointed that there is not more to them. You just try to find all poochy babies and run to the end of the level as fast as possible. There is no reason to examine the flipside, since there are no coins and no flowers. From time to time you can collect some crafts, but that’s it. It’s just sad to see a feature, with so much potential, being downgraded to an optional hide and seek game with a time limit. There are some minigames on the frontside, where the perspective also gets flipped, but they just last for some seconds. I would have loved to see some levels with innovative uses of this feature.

    The game definitely isn’t difficult, but you might have some problems here and there if you try to get all the smiley flowers and crafts. You can also increase the difficulty by not using any of the costumes, which tank some enemy attacks.

    One thing that I also didn’t like that much, was the soundtrack. Most of the tracks are remixes of the main theme, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it got kind of repetitive and annoying after some time. While some of them are pretty good, it could have been so much better.

    Other than that, I really liked Yoshi’s Crafted World. It was a really refreshing 2D platformer with interesting mechanics and unique level design. Even though the flipsides felt a bit empty and the soundtrack was kinda disappointing, the game itself is really good.    … Expand

    Really thought this game was great. Lots of replayability and stuff to collect. The worlds are really colorful and pretty. The coop is fine but 4 player would be nice. The game is simple but also nice to play through. Quite a step up from the painfully average Yoshi's Woolly World. Some of the ideas regarding the style and gameplay are very unique and it made the game a lot of fun to play.

    Good-Feel volvió a encargarse del nuevo juego de Yoshi tras el brillante Yoshi's Wolly World, título que si bien no impulsó comercialmente la saga sí le hizo recuperar el prestigio. Recordemos que puede hablarse, principalmente, de dos sagas de Yoshi, la de Yoshi's Island, condicionada por su mecánica de proteger a "Baby Mario" e iniciada por su entrega en Super Nintendo, y la de Yoshi "aGood-Feel volvió a encargarse del nuevo juego de Yoshi tras el brillante Yoshi's Wolly World, título que si bien no impulsó comercialmente la saga sí le hizo recuperar el prestigio. Recordemos que puede hablarse, principalmente, de dos sagas de Yoshi, la de Yoshi's Island, condicionada por su mecánica de proteger a "Baby Mario" e iniciada por su entrega en Super Nintendo, y la de Yoshi "a secas", iniciada con Yoshi's Story en Nintendo 64. Tras Yoshi's Story se desarrollaron para portátil títulos de Yoshi's Island hasta que Good-Feel daría lugar a una saga de Yoshi "a secas" con el lanzamiento de Yoshi's Wolly World, posiblemente el mejor título de Yoshi desde el magistral Yoshi's Island para Super Nintendo. Así pués, ¿qué tal sería el siguiente juego de Yoshi de Good-Feel?

    Pues diría que se ha quedado en un punto intermedio dentro del baremo de ambas series de Yoshi, es decir, es un muy buen juego pero que no alcanza el nivel sobresaliente de Yoshi's Wolly World, algo lejos de ser tan redondo como éste. Eso sí, Good-Feel supo darle su propia personalidad a Yoshi's Crafted World, en especial por su temática dedicada a las manualidades, y hay que decir con ello que el estilo infantil de los juegos de Yoshi se justifica más que nunca, ¿por qué? Lo explico.
    Los adultos (y sobre todo los jóvenes que aspiran a ser adultos, es decir, los adolescentes) suelen desdeñar lo infantil. Es por ello que en sí se suele despreciar la imaginación, porque ésta es la base de la mentalidad infantil. La imaginación es fundamental para el aprendizaje y por eso los niños la usan mucho al jugar. Lo que hace Yoshi's Crafted World es rellenar los huecos de lo que falta como lo haría un niño con su imaginación. Es decir, un trozo de cartón puede ser un edificio, un ovillo de lana puede ser una montaña, un cartón de leche puede ser un barco, una botella puede ser una nave espacial, etc. Por ello, el desdén a lo infantil es absurdo, porque si una persona con 30 años puede ver una obra que trate sobre la senectud o, en general, sobre una generación distinta a la suya, ¿por qué no una que sea infantil cuando además ésta es fundamental para su estilo artístico?

    Así pues, la temática de manualidades realizada con un precioso apartado gráfico artístico es lo primero que llama la atención de este juego. Cada nivel es una obra de arte en sí, recorrerlo es una satisfacción en sí mismo. Es muy acertado como se han combinado los diseños "cartoon" de Yoshi y los enemigos con detalles fotorrealistas de los escenarios, algo que recuerda a los Pikmin, y es que los escenarios de este juego son una gozada. Además, se les saca más partido al llevar el juego a un estilo de plataformas 2,5D, lo cuál proporciona las principales mecánicas diferentes respecto a los anteriores juegos de la saga, tales como la posibilidad de lanzar huevos a diferentes planos.

    Una vez deslumbrados por su apartado artístico, nos encontramos con algunos puntos mejorables. Si bien los niveles tienen el cuidado diseño habitual de los juegos de Nintendo, destacando por su originalidad y por ofrecer cada uno sus propias mecánicas siendo la variedad y la personalidad lo que los caracteriza, tienen el inconveniente para el jugador experimentado de su sencillez y sobre todo de su facilidad, siendo prácticamente un paseo hasta el final de cada nivel. Esto hace el juego idóneo para el público infantil pero, ¿qué ocurre con el jugador experimentado que busca más sustancia? Esto normalmente se compensa con una estructura de "Collectathon", es decir, de recolectar como manera de completar totalmente el juego, teniendo una dificultad "a la carta", hasta donde uno quiera llegar. El problema es que la recolección en Yoshi's Crafted World resulta algo pesada, parece más una excusa que han empleado los desarrolladores para que revisitemos tan bellos niveles, pero una vez que la manera de jugar éstos no es la superación de puzles y plataformas sino de encontrar algo en el escenario, pierden gracia. Es decir, no se ha encontrado un equilibrio entre un fácil paseo y un difícil completismo.

    Un aspecto que he leído que se ha criticado mucho es la música. Es verdad que la música de timbre chirriante, emulando instrumentos de juguete, puede ser un poco cargante y que repetir lo que se hizo en Yoshi's New Island, es decir, usar un único tema pero con distintas variaciones, es algo arriesgado si no se hace tan bien como en Super Mario World, pero tampoco es que sea mejor jugar sin sonido como he leído por ahí, aunque es verdad que de un juego de Nintendo uno espera más en este apartado.

    En definitiva, Yoshi's Crafted World es un notable plataformas, precioso visualmente y con una buena jugabilidad y diseño de niveles, pero lastrado por no saber compensar su sencillez al tener un sistema de coleccionables algo pesado. En todo caso, se trata de un muy recomendable juego para los amantes a las plataformas.    … Expand

    TLDR/Most memorable aspects of this game after spending hundreds of hours playing: (*)    This game is so good, I made an account here just to rate this. A user score of only 7.9 (at the time of writing this review) is an absolute disgrace. The characters, the life and detail in the world, the gameplay, all 10/10. You can tell that a lot of genuine love and care went into making this game

    TLDR/Most memorable aspects of this game after spending hundreds of hours playing:

    (*) This is HANDS DOWN the best couch co-op game on the Switch.

    (*) There is an amazing amount of variety in the worlds/environments. Each with their own feel, their own theme, and their own types of enemies - which amounts to subtle changes in the gameplay that keeps you from ever getting bored from start to finish.

    (*) The boss of each area were all uniquely challenging, impeccably designed, and very memorable.

    (*) You can feel that there was a lot of care and attention put into the level design. You can clearly feel that the developers of this game are gamers themselves, and know what's fun. - The level design in this game is the ANTITHESIS of procedural level generation.

    (*) Levels slowly and consistently ramp up in difficulty with absolutely no spikes.

    (*) Enough content for both younger/newer players as well as grizzled veterans like this reviewer. (There is almost an equal amount of content for each!)

    (*) Tons of unlockable cosmetic items that are actually earned IN-GAME instead of micro transactions! (What a refreshing, novel concept that you don't see these days!)

    (*) Graphically, this is only time on Nintendo Switch I've seen anything incredibly close to photo-realism. - Complete with a consistently high framerate that never stops or stutters.

    (*) I lost track of the number of times I smiled and laughed at one of the many THOUSANDS of amazingly detailed objects in the background/foreground.

    This is arguably the BEST game on the Nintendo Switch as of early 2023. Even if one can argue that perhaps there's a better game than this on the Switch, it's irrefutable that this is the best Yoshi title of the entire bunch, dating all the way back to Yoshis Island on SNES.

    Speaking of Yoshi's Island on SNES, there are so many nods and references to that 1995 game, that it almost feels like this was made by many of the same developers. The developers were incredibly faithful to all of the Yoshi games (even Yoshi Cookie!) This is an absolute MUST-OWN game, even ahead of every Mario game released thus far. - Mark my words... Yoshi's Crafted World will be remembered decades from now as a classic, and possibly even the pinnacle of what a Yoshi game can be.    … Expand

    Yoshi’s Crafted World is a decent platformer that is fun to go through, despite its minor hiccups. How players can approach this game depends on either desiring to reach the end of it or collecting everything to completion. The game won’t raise the bar, but it will remind you that it is a harmless artsy platformer starring everyone’s favorite rideable green dinosaur.
