    There's always something new and fresh to discover, plus plenty of worthwhile collectibles to seek out.

    It’s so beautiful, cute and charming that even the grimmest death metal fans will go ‘awwww’. If you want to introduce someone to the world of games this gem is hands down the best way to do that. [09/2015, p.57]

    Yoshi's Woolly World is a challenging, cleverly designed platformer that as delightful to play as it is to look at. It's unbelievably beautiful, unrelentingly challenging, and undeniably adorable.

    Yoshi's Woolly World is not a revolutionary or especially fresh proposition, bet offers captivating, addictive and simply enjoyable gameplay. In combination with excellent graphics, it makes the game worth recommending to every fan of platformers.

    Yoshi’s Woolly World doesn’t do much that we haven’t seen before in Nintendo’s long history of these sorts of games, and its exceptional cuteness factor helps overcome some of its slightly derivative design. But in a season so focused on doing vicious harm in virtual worlds, its lovely to take a whimsical stroll with this delightful dinosaur daredevil.

    Yoshi’s Woolly World is a charming, yet unchallenging platformer that succeeds at being an amusing way to pass the time.

    Finding hidden items is technically an optional side-quest, but paradoxically, it's also the game's only real challenge.

    Nothing nicer than this game is possible to create according to the classical laws of physics! From the first frames you play as a knittedNothing nicer than this game is possible to create according to the classical laws of physics! From the first frames you play as a knitted dragon, when he jumps up, he says peepeepeeu! And there is also an amiibo for the game and they are not made of plastic, but also knitted! Okay, not counting the cuteness, there are a lot of curious mechanics in the game and each level adds something new, and there are 43 levels, so you'll get tired of listing, but the main thing: you untie the enemies, which are made of yarn, into balls, and then from these balls you tie up ladders/ platforms / pipes to pass through. Bosses are lamp bosses of a healthy person: and not annoying impenetrable but you will need to find your own approach to everyone. And of course the achievements! The creators have stuffed every level with them from the bottom of their hearts! Somewhere you need to crumple the fabric of the level wall in order to move it and go to a secret location (you remember that everything is knitted in the game), somewhere to dive under water, although the main line of passage is on the surface, somewhere above the clouds to collect achievements behind the upper edge of the screen (even the camera does not move there).
    In short, my recommendation is: give birth to a son and go through this game with him, at least because when playing together, you can also untie a friend and throw his clew wherever you want! :-)    … Expand

    The    The game is an incredible show of cuteness and creativity, not forgetting the fun of the already known Yoshi`s gameplay always had.
    The Wolly`s ambience is a very pleasure sight and gives a totally new look to the game, what paired with the soundtrack makes a very relaxing experience.

    Indeed, in my opinion, the most fun is the adaptations of the known Yoshi`s gamplay to the Wolly World. Everyting is so detalied and, clearly, made with so care that overflows creavity.

    Do not deceive yourself. Yoshi`s Wooly World is not only a game for childrens, girls or any other preconception you can have. Is a game for people who loves videogames and doesn`t think that the only way of making games is with giant and, sometimes poor, opens worlds and realistic graphycs.    … Expand
