Currently 82 on Metacritic. Highest rated Yoshi game since the Yoshi Island port on GBA 24 years ago
>>739177380What the HECK it was a port? I played the GBA version and loved it back in the day.
>>739177380Is the gameplay just eating and feeding things? Does Yoshi fight bosses?
>watch a few reviews>they keep using the words "magic", "charm" and "wonder">no talk about lenghtthe babiest toddlergame yet
>>739177380I see 80 after 54 reviews. pretty good.>Highest rated Yoshi game since the Yoshi Island port on GBA 24 years agoReally?>Woolly World: 78This easily deserves at least an 80 as well.>Crafter World: 79What the fuck? This is 15 higher than it should be.
>>739177967Weird degenerate fetish shit.
>>739178159Feels like wooly world gets ignored because its one of the few wiiu games to not get a switch portCrafted world was awful
Nintendo Life gave it a 60/100, that's fucking brutal coming from them.They really just decided to completely scrap any semblance of challenge in Yoshi games huh.. even Crafted World had the Hidden Hills secret final world with pretty tough levels.
>>739178616>visually>crafted worldthey're just smoking shit, right? Crafted world was a 540p smear
it's princess peach showtime but yoshi instead of peach. minimal challenge, lots of flashy fucking around for kids to pog at, inoffensive front to back.
>>739178616Someone didn't get the nintendobux...
>>739177967I don't care about it enough to check if there are bosses. But from what I've seen it's an adventure game. You explore a world.
>>739177380Based
>>739178161Based. Game looks weird af. Can't wait to see all the out of context clips.
isn't it a cutesy game for children? it's like woolly world and so on, 80 metacritic seems aligned
>>739180054yes but then you have weirdos itt projecting their fetishes onto it
With this and Mixtape journos finally have some games that respect their time
Let me guess the music is bad again because Good Feel lost their composer after Woolly World and refuse to listen.
>>739180519The composer for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book (the 2026 platformer) is Kumi Tanioka. She composed the soundtrack alongside Kazufumi Umeda. Tanioka is best known for her work on the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles series, Final Fantasy XI, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.
>>739180196This game requires too much input to be a journo game.
>>739180728It’s over…
You kids won't remember this, but there was a time when Yoshi soared higher than any other game on the market. SEGA enthusiasts played 2 hours of this game and put the sidearm in their mouths. It schooled Mario on being Mario. Scoring under 98 should be considered a travesty for Yoshi.
>>739180196You need to think where to go and what to do to solve a puzzle
>>739180874Can't believe that this was released about a year before Mario 64.
>>739177730Took me years to find out
>>739180874>Has yet to be topped>This alongside DKC and Wario Land established their respective protagonists as Nintendo's all-star cast, further cemented in Mario Kart 64>Yoshi's next game immediately leaned even more on the pastel look and babyish tone Yoshi should have been a Contra-type game with a Mario skin, the mechanics were there since 1995. Not breaking away from Mario hurt it too.
>>739180728FFXI has some good tracks, haven't played the other two.
>>739180874I never liked that game, still dont understand why its beloved
>>739177380I like Yoshi's Island (SNES) and Woolly World (Wii U), Crafted World (Switch) was already too lobotomized, 0 challenge but you have to replay each level like 6 for all the collectibles and fetch quests, literally just a waste of time.
>>739178091What the hell is Nintendo magic?
>>739183678when you pay $80 for a dose of nostalgiabait
>>739178616isn't nintendo life usually the one lowballing scoresthey gave air riders a low score even
I have to imagine the $60 digital pricetag is helping massage the score by a few points.
tendietoddler games deserve 5/10 max
>>739177380>down to 80KWAB
Nice
>>739184085I don't think price tag matters to reviewers who get free codes
