    Yes, it's easy. Yes, it's for kids. CHARM is the word that all reviewers are giving for this game. If you are looking for a challenge, it is still here, just wait for the final 4 stages! A wonderful platformer, filled with CHARM and imagination! 10/10. Well done again, Nintendo!

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

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!    … Expand

    The colors, characters and level design are all top notch.

    Los juegos de Yoshi se deben jugar con calma, para apreciar y disfrutar cada detalle que te entregan los niveles que son realmente hermosos y hechos con una dedicación y detalle únicos.

This is by far one of the most creative/original games I've seen on the switch. 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

    Es el mejor juego de la saga de Yoshi. Muy inspirado, con unos niveles variados y muy bien diseñados, y con unas mecánicas jugables que se sienten frescas y originales para la saga a pesar de llevar varias entregas a sus espaldas. Artísticamente es una maravilla, y todo un disfrute recorrer esos niveles explorando cada rincón.

    I like Yoshi’s crafted world because you can collect lots of costumes. You need to eat shy guys to collect different coloured eggs. The thing I don’t like is in the ninja lands on the boss I had to put it on mellow mode because there was a giant obstacle in the way. By Ollie (6 years).

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

    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.

    A fun, colorful Yoshi adventure that provides nostalgia for games like Yoshi's island, even if it doesn't achieve their greatness. Overall the game is relaxing and creative, but I would've liked a little more challenge. My only real complaint is the music - most of it is forgettable and remixes the same few tunes over and over. Fun for on the go or couch play.

    Yoshis Island für Super Nintendo ist immmernoch das Beste Yoshi. Da stimmt einfach alles, vorallem die Atmosphäre. 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. IstYoshis Island für Super Nintendo ist immmernoch das Beste Yoshi. Da stimmt einfach alles, vorallem die Atmosphäre. 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

    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.

    Yoshi’s Crafted World doesn’t bring anything new to the formula — everything is lifted from other arcade games and previous Yoshi’s adventures. Still, it never gets boring.
