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

Yoshi's Crafted World's unique diorama-style stages and solid platforming gameplay combine to make the game one of the better side-scrolling platformers on the Switch.

Yoshi's Crafted World is a refreshing, modern 2D platformer from Nintendo that, for once, truly feels new. From its gorgeous aesthetic to its myriad creative level motifs and gameplay ideas, Crafted World embodies the spirit of fun. While the game's soundtrack is decidedly lackluster and its co-op feels underbaked, this is undeniably the most ambitious and fun 2D platformer from Nintendo in a long, long time.

Yoshi’s Crafted World is exactly what I needed, when I needed it. I could turn off my brain and just have a good time. Nintendo excels at that. While it can get repetitive after a while, it never wears out its welcome. I loved collecting everything in the game and the hours I spent with it were joy-infused. The entry price might be a bit steep, but the Nintendo quality never fails to deliver.

Fans of Yoshi will love it, as it is everything you would expect. Meanwhile, those who haven't taken the dinky dino for a spin before will pick this up quick enough and possibly wonder why they've never played the previous games. It is one for the collection for sure.

Yoshi's Crafted World is a game utterly dripping with charm, but not that much challenge. It definitely can keep experienced and younger gamers occupied for hours, but this isn't a Switch essential. If you've got a soft spot for the green dino, then this might be worth your while. A great game for kids and younger gamers, but if you're looking for a challenging 2D adventure, this ain't it, chief.

Yoshi's Crafted World is a window into the mind of a child. Colourful and cheerful, the newest video game by Good-Feel is able to put the player in a good mood.

Yoshi’s Crafted World is an art class plate heaped high with sugary delights that I can easily recommend.

I’d thoroughly recommend Yoshi’s Crafted World to young gamers, Mario fans and people with a passion for platformers, but it’s not going to do much for hardcore gamers with such little meat on its bones.

To enjoy the game is to believe that there can be purpose or joy in peeking around the most distant corners of our world.

Wait, is that boss' weak point a MacGyvered Band-Aid on its butt? Why, yes. Yes, it is! That's the exact kind of kookiness to expect when playing Yoshi's Crafted World for the Nintendo Switch. Admittedly, the platforming leans toward the easy side and the mechanics don't add anything revolutionary to the Yoshi formula. What Yoshi's Crafted World has, however, is a wonderfully creative world, plenty of charm, lots of polish and family-friendly fun for co-op lovers. It's an egg-cellent addition to the Yoshi franchise.

Despite this and other minor imperfections, Yoshi's Crafted World remains a virtuous representative of its genre segment, as well as a convincing start to the season for Nintendo Switch 2019.

Yoshi's Crafted World is a wonderful little platformer to either play with your family or to hold you over as we head into the summer doldrums. It's not going to be Nintendo's big killer app this year, but it's a fine game that will appeal to platformer fans and Yoshi fans alike.

Yoshi's Crafted World is another successful main game Switch debut for one of Nintendo's favourite characters and is wonderfully accessible for every kind of gamer. The games adorable art style is a joy to behold, and it's always fun to play with a friend in co-op. It may not be perfect, but it's a lovely little adventure that should be experienced by all fans.

We can say that the first exclusive of the year in consoles does not disappoint anyone and it is a pleasant adventure that any public can enjoy without any problem. Full of unforgettable designs and a lot of tenderness the levels are a visual enjoyment from start to finish. But not everything is perfect and the errors of balance and abuse of some mechanics do not allow you to go further, however; We believe that the successor of Yoshi's Island arrived and we could not be happier.

Yoshi's Crafted World is full of charm and wonder, which more than makes up for its lack of challenge or complexity.
