Customer Ratings & Reviews

I picked this game up as a fan of the series. I was expecting a light, easy-going platformer and that is pretty much what this is. A lot is changed from the series' standard formula, and I'll address that at the end. In terms of the gameplay: It is a platformer, you play as yoshi and run through various themed stages, jumping or tossing eggs to progress. Each stage is very linear and 2-3 stages make up a "world" which has a consistent them across stages. The stages can be done quickly or slowly. Personally, I'm for the slow pace because there's an impressive amount of detail to enjoy each level. Beating each level should be straightforward, but there are several collectibles that require a little exploration and skill to collect. There are, unique to this version, side quests where you're tasked with going into the level and finding an object. I've found some of these objects surprisingly tough to find. These quests add a lot to replay value to levels. The characters in the game are nice and friendly, I find them to be uplifting. In breaks from the series: - Side Quests - Instead of 6 worlds with 8 levels each, there are several smaller worlds with 2-3 levels. These smaller worlds are significantly more detailed than in prior games and there's a larger variety of stage, which is something I was initially hesitant about but see it as a welcome change. - The way eggs are tossed is now position via the joystick / cursor, instead of oscillating up and down. I dislike this because it takes longer to throw sometimes, but it's a needed change for the gimmicks of this game. - Woolly World had badges which assisted players through levels, instead Crafted World has costumes (which are fun to dress Yoshi up in) that simply add additional health (very helpful).

SUPER fun can definitely say I enjoyed this one. It’s challenging with plenty of puzzles and Easter eggs hidden in game.

The game is great overall. Fun and perfect for children with the easier mode, but still engaging enough for older players. Each level packs in enough to engage everyone. The one gripe is the multiplayer functionality. Specifically, “automatically” jumping on your partners back. Read on other forums how horribly frustrating this was and brushed it off. Finally playing it validated everything I had read about it. Not great, but honestly not sure how they cover using that feature for all and not have it too automatic.

Anyone who has played a Yoshi game won't be getting anything revolutionary with this game - it's more of the same, just polished for a more powerful console. That being said, Yoshi's Crafted World is a smart and surprisingly complex platformer that offers up unique platforming and puzzle solving that keeps the game fresh. The Poochy stages unfortunately feel more like a rehash of levels you've already played that were put in just to artificially extend the length of an already short game. The game is short (as to be expected with Yoshi games) but it does a good job of keeping you engaged throughout and I had a lot of fun with it.

Good game for the kids. Definitely something the whole family can play would recommend this game.

Game is fun. The maps are very cleaver in design and some levels have a good replay ability to them. Overall a good game to pass the time.

This game not only keeps my son entertained but also my wife, i can finally get my "TIME" to myself at home hahaha just kidding. Its a fun game though

When asked what game they wanted for their Nintendo for a long trip we were taking both kids said they wanted Yoshi's Crafted World. In a nutshell the game is the search for gems that came from the Sundream Stone after a couple of characters tried to steal the stone. The kids played it the entire time we were in the car during our trip which tells me they lived it.

I really lo e this game. It's very entertaining and family friendly.

Very good game that reminds me of the SNES game Super Mario World 2, Yoshi’s Island. There’s a difficulty option for “mellow” gameplay that makes it even easier to just relax and enjoy the peacefulness the game creates. The levels do start to get a little more frustrating and some of the puzzles can be maddening but it’s still worth the play through. There’s replay value if you’re into collecting everything. You can run reverse through levels to find dogs and beat the speed trial. There are collectible costumes that you can purchase with coins along the way. Overall, the entertainment value is high and it’s a fun little game with a decent amount of content to pass the time when you’re just chillin. Worth the buy for the throwback to the SNES Yoshi’s Island game. Which was one of my favorites when I was younger.

I was hesitant to get this because it looks like it's made for kids, but I'm so glad I did (for context I'm 29 years old). It is a great game for kids but I still really enjoy it. It's fairly simple and easy but has some challenging components and the graphics and imagery are really amazing for a Yoshi game.

Yoshi is my #1! So this game is a must have. I’m one of those people that care about finding all the flowers, getting all the red coins and having full hearts when completely each level- which takes longer to complete but that doesn’t bother me. I also enjoy the reverse levels and finding the poochy pups. I just wish Nintendo made an Amiibo for this game!

Game looks really good and very creative. Controls are good and bosses challenging. Only complaint some of the stages are difficult to navigate. But overall good

I never played a Yoshi game before and I love it. So cute and creative. Love the atmosphere and artwork of this game.

Yoshi just has a way of making things fun and the cardboard world is beyond more than what I expected. Each level is so cute and colorful that it really REALLY shines through on a 4K tv. Even on a 1080p monitor it looks absolutely stunning. Not to mention the music is downright amazing. From the title song to the remixes you hear in later levels, Nintendo just knocks it out of the park. While the levels are basically "run right and reach the goal", there's a good amount of secrets to find if you want to explore. Each world you travel to needs a certain amount of flowers in order to access. This is a little gatekeep-y, but the game does such a good job of handing you flowers. Without too much exploring you should be able to move to the next world without any problems. The costumes you can unlock with the in-game coins you collect are adorable. Each one gives you bonus protection from enemies or falls. Not to mention the amiibos give you some bonus costumes. The Yarn yoshi amiibos give the best imo but the others are greatly appreciated. Do know that not all amiibos give a custom costume like in Wooly World. This is a definitely must buy if you just want a chill game to play alone or with a friend.

My four-year-old son and I play this almost daily. It’s great at helping little ones improve their abilities with side scrolling games. When the game gets too intense, he can use his Yoshi to jump on the back of the other player and focus on shooting eggs while the more experienced player navigates the level. He is having a blast with it!

This was a birthday present for my 10 year old son. He is very pleased with the game and said he would give it 5 stars. He also said that this game is better than Yoshi's Woolly World, and he really likes that game as well. The thing that my son said was his favorite about this game is that it has Mario 64 sounds in it.

This defines the Yoshi franchise, this is an addicting, innocent and lovely game that I think all gamers should experience. This is by far one of the most creative/original games I've seen on the switch. The collectibles in this game keep making me want to come back to the levels to find them all, personally, I haven't got all of the collectibles myself, but I have finished the main storyline. This is one of the best Yoshi games out there for new players and returning players. In most of my reviews, I've pointed out that I don't care about the graphics, but the character in this game (Baby Bowser) looks exactly like Bowser Jr. without the bib and it's not his original style for Baby Bowser and that kind of disappointed me and it felt like the developers were being lazy with his character model, but that's just a minor fault of the developers. Also, the cutscenes are short, simple, and interactive and the way the bosses form is just brilliant, it takes you back to when you were a kid and you imagined every piece of furniture/scraps/machines/art/everyday items as an entity that had a personality attached to it. This game is so crafty and distracts you from how the real world is, the music is catchy and pleasant. I've also wondered why black and white Yoshi are not in this game? Overall an amazing experience, especially the Poochy and Poochy Pups mechanic that just makes the game a lot more fun. The multiplayer kind of changes the pace of things, but you get a laugh out of it. Especially the riding on each other part, that cracked me up, like Yoshi attack ride! Also, those mini-games are on point! Satisfying game.

I downloaded the demo for my kids and they begged me to buy the full version. Now that they have it, they really enjoy playing it. The game play is fun and challenging for them. It's nice that they can both play at the same time instead of fighting over who's turn it is. I actually like this better than Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe.

Very fun game. Challenging but not too hard for my 8YO
