    This isn't Nintendo at the height of its powers, but it's hard not to be smitten with Yoshi's Woolly World's wonderful visuals and throughly entertaining platforming.

    That’s part of the beauty of Woolly World, though. It’s only as difficult as you want it to be.

Collecting stuff in this game should be your main goal, not trying to only get through the game. There's an issue with the game however, if you want to 100% this game blind, you're gonna do some backtracking every now and then.
    The graphics in this game are beautiful too, it really actually looks like it could be made in real life!
    If you don't collect in this game, the game will be easy, if you collect though, the game will definitely be hard due to clever enemy placement and always having something new up its sleeve with every new level. The bosses are however, repetitive and easy. There is also no punishment from dying, besides losing wonder-wool and flowers you collected after reaching the last checkpoint, but it shouldn't be that hard to get those again. Also, this game has a surprising amount of stamps for Miiverse: 20 per level! You get those by collecting beads, which are the coins in this game.

    This game would have gotten a 10 if it wasn't for the easy bosses and backtracking.    … Full Review »

    It feels and    Yoshi's wooly world is not likely to blow your mind, but it is a perfect example of what it is trying to be, A 2D Yoshi game.
    It feels and looks like a highly polished game with level designs that were clearly given much thought.
    As many other reviews point out the fabric theme visual style looks absolutely beautiful in HD and 60FPS. The thought that had gone into it deserves praise.
    The soundtrack is incredibly catchy and memorable fitting the game and the world of Yoshi perfectly.
    While impatient players may feel the game is too short, those who wish to unlock the hidden levels and Yoshi's will find the game gives you at least 20 hours of fun.    … Full Review »
