Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World Reviews
Poochy and Yoshi’s Woolly World presents us with a wonderfully realised yarny universe to play around in, but it’s the formulaic gameplay and lack of incentive for returning players that keeps this Yoshi title from reaching platforming iconicity.
Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World won't make a huge impact on the gaming year of 2017, but is a solid, well-crafted 3DS-remake with great accessibility and variety amongst its colorful levels.

Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World is good portable adaptation of home platform game with adventure elements, which is primarily captivating by cute knit art design. Beautiful graphics, low difficulty, lots of secrets and a special section with small cartoons will delight the youngest audience. Older players will probably prefer something more complicated and dynamic.

If you're looking for a challenging Nintendo platformer or you got your fill from the Wii U version, you're better off looking elsewhere. This is a solid game that runs well on the 3DS, but its extras don't really warrant a double dip or a purchase from a player looking for difficulty.
There are still plenty of challenges and content to be found in the ‘3DS version of the game. The uniqueness and musical charm are present, just not in a way that complements the console version of Yoshi’s Woolly World.
Most of Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World feels sameish. Uninspired.
There are a lot of great platformers on the 3DS, and if you’ve already played Woolly World on the Wii U, it may not be worth shelling out another $40 for this lightly updated version. That said, there’s a real charm to the level design, some real challenge in its item hunt, and a whole lot of cuteness to its aesthetic. It’s not a game of the year, but for fans of Yoshi, it’s hard not to recommend this one.
While the graphical cutbacks are disappointing, Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World is an unbelievably cute game with inventive mechanics and levels, and a solid platforming base.
While Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World is a solid platformer, there is really no reason to buy it again if you already played the Wii U version. If not, It’s a fun and joyful experience.

Poochy and Yoshi’s Woolly World is a great addition to the 3DS library; it doesn’t reach the heights of Super Mario 3D Land, Donkey Kong Country Returns or the recent Rayman games but its mix of fantastic level variety and unique art design helps form its own identity without a moustachioed plumber.
Technical limitations and lack of co-op really disappoint in this new Nintendo platform for 3DS.

Porting and modifying the game for the 3DS made a good platforming game for a handheld device. I don't consider it one of the best, but it has what makes it unique with a slow-paced gameplay, and a special and cute world (especially Poochy's character and actions). The levels' concepts are fun. Some of them are great, but most of them are just OK.
