    It’s so beautiful, cute and charming that even the grimmest death metal fans will go ‘awwww’. If you want to introduce someone to the world of games this gem is hands down the best way to do that. [09/2015, p.57]

    Yoshi's Woolly World is a challenging, cleverly designed platformer that as delightful to play as it is to look at. It's unbelievably beautiful, unrelentingly challenging, and undeniably adorable.

    Yoshi's Woolly World is not a revolutionary or especially fresh proposition, bet offers captivating, addictive and simply enjoyable gameplay. In combination with excellent graphics, it makes the game worth recommending to every fan of platformers.

    Yoshi’s Woolly World doesn’t do much that we haven’t seen before in Nintendo’s long history of these sorts of games, and its exceptional cuteness factor helps overcome some of its slightly derivative design. But in a season so focused on doing vicious harm in virtual worlds, its lovely to take a whimsical stroll with this delightful dinosaur daredevil.

    Yoshi’s Woolly World is a charming, yet unchallenging platformer that succeeds at being an amusing way to pass the time.

    Finding hidden items is technically an optional side-quest, but paradoxically, it's also the game's only real challenge.

It's artistic style is not only a cute sight, but creates some interesting game mechanics, such as the use of curtains and yarn balls. The game does a great job of following in past Yoshi's Island games in terms of collectables as well as adding even more to it through Yoshi Designs. So if you like collecting things, this game will satisfy that need. While the game doesn't get all that difficult as you go along and the final boss isn't exactly as spectacular compared to Yoshi's Island or Yoshi's Island DS, the game still has its tricky moments through secret levels. And even if people do find it trickier than expected, the mellow mode makes for an easy way to scout out a level. Overall, Yoshi's Woolly World is a great Wii U title that is sure to capture the eyes of Yoshi fans of any age.… Expand
