Opinion: Yoshi And The Mysterious Book Completely Wastes Its Best Mechanic

This could have been an all-timer. I had a pretty decent time with Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. It’s a charming experience filled with wonder and imagination, but thanks to the repetitive, overly-simplified structure, that imagination is never afforded enough space to really shine. I tolerated this, however, and had a good time discovering the game’s many weird and wonderful creatures. Before I even started, I felt at peace with the knowledge that it would probably never reach the heights of Y

Review: Yoshi And The Mysterious Book (Switch 2) - Charming Enough, But Ultimately Lacklustre

Why so Glub? The Yoshi series has cemented itself as one of the most approachable in Nintendo’s arsenal, providing experiences that younger gamers in particular can enjoy without too much friction. Woolly World and Crafted World offer light-hearted platforming fun while still retaining some of the spirit of the SNES original, and both come recommended. Developer Good-Feel’s latest effort, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, unfortunately, has a few too many stabilisers on its wheels, losing a lot of

Yoshi And The Mysterious Book Is About Curiosity, Not Conquest

Perhaps because he's so cute and marketable, Yoshi's adventures have been designed for a younger and younger audience for the last several years. 2006's Yoshi's Island DS was not out-of-step with the difficulty of a mainline Mario game, but since then, the challenge of mainline Yoshi games has been slowly softened to target younger audiences. With Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, Nintendo has made the gameplay even more gentle for gaming novices--but what it lacks in difficulty, it mostly makes up

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book review

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book might be the loveliest surprise of the year so far. It certainly is for me. Going in, I don't think I was expecting too much. There's the slightly forgettable title, for one thing, and then I'd picked up the idea that, since this wasn't a Zelda or a mainline Mario, I could probably give it a miss.

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book Preview: It’s More for Kids Than for You and That’s OK

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is quite adorable. The scratchy fantasy book illustrations are very charming, all the little guys are super cute, and I am a fan of the choice to keep Yoshi half-pixelated in an homage to all the Yoshi games that came before this one. The whole thing might not be truly E for everyone if you were hoping for, say, a successor to Yoshi’s Island for Switch 2. But Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a gentle platformer that seems almost certain to provide an easy on-ramp to

Preview: 'Yoshi And The Mysterious Book' Is More Than Just A Pretty Face

Goodbye, Mr. E. I thought I knew what to expect from Yoshi and the Mysterious Book when Nintendo invited me to a recent hands-on preview ahead of the game's launch next month. I had played a good chunk of Crafted World and Woolly World (still waiting on that Switch port, Nintendo) in years gone by, and the trailers for the latest adventure had clued me in on all the familiar beats: charming but simple platforming with an adorable art style. Happily, I was wrong. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is
