Well, it’s just delightful isn’t it. I recently purchased a Nintendo Switch so I’ve been sampling all it has to offer and I’m pretty pleasantly surprised. I’d put off buying one sooner as it didn’t seem like there were too many games available, or none that I was mega interested in anyway. Nintendo seem to be on fire recently though so I have dipped my toe!

Yoshi’s Crafted World immediately appealed to me, as I’m a sucker for a cute platformer and I played one if the older versions a few years ago and enjoyed it. (I’m not entirely sure which one it was though now.) Also Yoshi reminds me of ‘Croc’ which is one of my favourite PS1 games and severely underrated in my super humble opinion.

It certainly doesn’t disappoint with the cuteness facture. ‘Tis enough to make you Squee out loud. He even makes similar sounds to Croc. The crafted setting is pretty cool too and although its not the most original, I didn’t care. It was nice to complete the same level in reverse so you can see all the glue and cardboard used to put it together, and there are usually some little extra secrets that weren’t visible the first time round.

The difficulty rating is fine, if a little on the easy side but the added extras like finding all the daisy’s and the random objects provided by the Robots at the start of each area make things a little more interesting and add to the difficulty slightly. The majority of boss fights are extremely easy though! As in barely losing any lives easy, but maybe that’s not such a bad thing. It means the game is more accessible to younger audiences and it reminds me of the games I was playing as a wee one.

Yoshi is easy to control and I like that they make his moves different to that of Mario…I’ve also decided that Mario himself is pretty annoying and he’s my least favourite Nintendo character….but that’s a story for another time.

All in all, I really enjoyed the game. It was good to have a break from the epic 100 hour games I usually play and is a nice distraction without having to think too hard or pay loads of attention to what’s going on with a story.

I’m gonna give this 7 Yoshi’s out of 10. What do you think? Have you played it? Do you also find Mario super annoying? I’d love to know your thoughts.
