    I was able to play this game with my girlfriend who doesn’t play very many video games and we both loved it. It was easy to just get into without her having to learn that many controls. The graphics are very fun and collecting the flowers and the yarn added a lot of replay value. We always find ourselves going back to this game over and over again.

    This is a real must play for every wii u owner and for all the lovers of good platforming games! I didn't actually expect anything from this game, but up to now it is just plain fun. It manages to catch the feeling of the original while still being creative on the side of visual art and there is no baby mario which was to biggest let down of the original. Buy it, you won't regret!

    Это замечательная игра. В ней хорошо абсолютно всё, начиная с музыки и заканчивая картинкой.
    Множество разнообразных уровней, с элементами которые больше нигде не повторяются, жаль что нет редактора уровней.
    Хоть игра и кажется лёгкой, но попробуйте пройти чтобы всё собрать, а бонусные уровни очень и очень сложны. Наверное лучший платформер и лучшая игра про Йоши.    Это замечательная игра. В ней хорошо абсолютно всё, начиная с музыки и заканчивая картинкой.

    The game is super adorable. It's very creative and the visuals are stunning. The jump/flutter mechanic is flawless, when in alot of indie platform games you have to be very precise with your jump (looking at you Shovel Knight) and the flow of the levels is always very smooth. The wool you are supposed to collect is always carefully hidden and it is a real challenge to search them all out.The game is super adorable. It's very creative and the visuals are stunning.

    This game is a 10/10. A perfect send off to the amazing brilliance of Iwata. He directed this game if you didn't know! So yeah... it's beautifully crafted, full of amazing ideas and I'm glad to have played it. Iwata got to make his last video game... and if this is what you leave...?

    I am retiring this account as well. For respect of Mr. Iwata. May you drive on Rainbow Road! :')

    Gameplay 9.5/10, This game has some original ideas ( The color yarn you use on anything, what you targeted ( non enemy) it will become that color, Puzzles in later levels become a bit harder (looking at you 2-S).

    Art direction (graphics) 10/10- This game is so visually appealing from the background to what's in front of you, you can easily get lost in the games world.

    Note- To get the full experience and increased difficulty, collect everything, it makes the game so much more enjoyable when you do that.

    One of the most beautiful games ever created by Nintendo, Yoshi's Wooly World is on par with the SNES masterpice "Yoshi's Island". The graphics are the most creative I've seen since the 1995 game, everything is so alive.

All sounds Yoshi makes are adorable. The gameplay is extremely fun and the level design is smart and challenging, the game got a high replay value because all of the extras to be unlocked from collecting hidden itens. One of the most cute and well crafted games ever made and a AAA title for the WiiU. Yoshi's Wooly World made the console worth for me. Thanks Nintendo, for delivering such amazing experience to us.… Expand

    The great "Dinosaur/Yoshisaur" is BACK! This time in Yarn. Yoshi's Woolly World is very fun! There are a lot new features in this game like Mellow Mode, Some Badges, etc. This game is MUCH better than I expected. The graphics is one of THE best things in the game. The controls are easy to get used to, which is good. The Amiibo feature is THE best IMO. For example, you get a Yoshi as Mario,The great "Dinosaur/Yoshisaur" is BACK! This time in Yarn.

The level designs are great, some are Challenging.

    This is a great title and you can tell much more effort was placed into in comparision to the nsmb series and previous yoshi titles. It drops the annoying baby gimmick and has a nice esculation in difficulty as you move on. Don't expect tropical freeze difficultly as the challange in this game lies in getting 100%. It is easily the best yoshi game since the original yoshi's island.

    Simplemente genial. En el apartado gráfico tiene unas texturas muy hermosas con ese aspecto de lana del juego, un sonido acorde a este tipo de juegos del mundo de yoshi, una jugabilidad simplemente perfecta, sin lags ni nada por el estilo y sobretodo NO ES UN JUEGO ABURRIDO COMO MUCHOS DE LA INDUSTRIA DE HOY, siendo una delicia para los fans de las plataformas.

    Finally a good Yoshi game, this game is fun & beautiful to look at, the controls are basic but work the gameplay is the most important factor & it's all there the levels vary from some being great & some just good but no level stood out as being bad. This is a very good game & shouldn't be missed

    Nintendo is definitely the master of platform games! This game is very attention to details, very visually beautiful, music is very relaxing and super fun to either play solo or play with friend, I'm playing this game with my girlfriend, and great fun, unlike the last Yarn Kirby game on Wii, this game is much more like a real platfomrer with Yoshi's mechanic and a twist of woolly feeling.Nintendo is definitely the master of platform games!

There's lots of thing and you will feel it's very natural to have woolly material apply to Yoshi's action and environment. There's lots of familiar and returning enimies, either you are first time or old SNES Yoshi's Island fan you will love this game!

    As I said unlike Yarn Kirby, this game is much more challenging, however it's not something like super hard like Bloodborne and you just can't go over the level, there's some badges you can collect and can power you up in the game, so it feels great for all different levels of players.

    All things are just too cute in this game! Level design is very clever, every level has full of content and a very balanced length (not super short or super long), there are lots of collectibles in this game so if you are a looking for perfect you might take hours and hours playing in this game!

    Highly recommend! hence 10/10    … Expand

    Not every level in Yoshi’s Woolly World is a winner, and the game suffers in comparison to the absolutely magical Super Mario 3D World, which still easily ranks as the Wii U’s best platformer. But it deftly pulls off the trick of being both stupendously cute and technically well-crafted, appealing to youngsters drawn in by the sweet plush Yoshis and to more skilled gamers looking to challenge their reflexes and item-hunting skills.

    Overall, Yoshi’s Woolly World is a “Nintendo” game at its finest. The game not only draws in gamers with a captivating art-style and excellent soundtrack, but it also keeps them engaged with spectacular and diverse gameplay elements. Fortunately, Yoshi’s Woolly World packs in a wealth of options too, which accommodate new players as well as Nintendo veterans alike.
