Yoshi's Crafted World is a very fun platformer that's light on challenge or ambition, but brimming with creativity and charm.

Yoshi's Crafted World doesn't use its clever conceit as well as it should or weave a poignant story, but it's still a solid and accessible Nintendo platformer.

Despite a slow difficulty ramp, Yoshi's Crafted World is a delightful adventure thanks to fun-to-find collectibles, colorful levels, and creative boss battles

By channeling Labo’s construction spirit into the long-standing conventions of a Yoshi game, Crafted World’s carved out a similar work-play functionality. I’m not always having fun, but I want to get it right. Yoshi’s counting on me.

This is a game that’s elevated by that choice of art and the way that design interlaces and works to create new play opportunities within the sweet sandbox of each level.

From his laid-back nature to his optimistic look at the world, Yoshi is an easy character to love.

If you’re new to the series, Yoshi’s Crafted World has colour and charm to spare, even if its inventiveness is largely limited to its looks.

This is yet another Yoshi game that doesn’t come close to reaching Yoshi’s Island greatness.

Yoshi's Crafted World is a beautifully crafted title - literally. Excellent level design, and childlike creative charm combine to produce a very enjoyable platformer.

An extremely beautiful game that gets a bit boring with time due to its artifical replayability and its low difficulty.

Yoshi’s Crafted World is an excellent Yoshi game. It doesn’t do a lot to break new ground for the series, but it doesn’t have to. It’s a lot of fun, it’s cute, and it’s inviting for gamers of any age.

Yoshi's Crafted World is that game that when I played it for the first time, I never thought it would live up to what it has achieved.

The problem with a game like Yoshi's Crafted World is that it seems to be stuck in sort of a time capsule. The hottest platformers from the last couple of years offer challenging gameplay, complex combat, rich lore, character progression, hidden areas... the list goes on and on. Yoshi's Crafted World offers almost none of those things. It's content to offer a very pared-down experience, and that's fine as far as a video game is concerned; it just doesn't make for an exciting experience.

Another highly competent Yoshi platformer that looks great and plays well, especially in co-op, but there's a disappointing lack of innovation beyond the charming visuals.

Yoshi's Crafted World not only change wool by cardboard to offer a charming plaform game: it goes beyond offering a "collect-a-thon" with a extremely varied levels, full of surprises and distinct gameplay mechanics. A very enjoyable game with local coop and a magnificent example that remind us that in 2D gaming, not all is done yet.
