Classically gorgeous Yoshi visuals
Brilliant focus on oddball investigation is a fresh concept
Tons of weird and whacky creatures to study
Healthy amount of post-game
Lots of player-driven exploration and discovery options
?Just mess around and try stuff? format is likely going to be very polarising

Beautiful animation with many affectionate details (especially in the animations)
Various shipments with a creative "puzzle" design
Several cute creatures with special skills.
Mass optional objectives
Good varied soundtrack
The progress made cannot be lost anymore.
Pleasantly relaxed gameplay principle...
... which is however very undemanding over long distances

Journal du Geek
Carefully and charmingly artistic direction.
Gameplay that constantly renews itself from one level to the next
Varied bestiary and very well thought out creature system
Good lifespan
Big surprise after the credits
Perfect balance between child and adult players
Some levels have messy and imprecise gameplay.
No two-player mode
Soundtrack too repetitive, enemies' music becomes annoying over time.

Absolutely awesome artistically speaking
A new way of designing the platform
Gameplay ideas galore
Objectives and a completion method not always clear.
One must accept the almost complete absence of challenge.
It's surprisingly complicated to "get into it"

The wide variety of creatures to discover
The visual style is overwhelming.
The constant sensation of discovering something new at every moment.
The possibility of giving a name to creatures
Some puzzles are truly original
Sometimes, it seems too simple.
The times when you discover something unintentionally.
This is brief and could give more of itself.

The superb artistic direction, like a living illustrated book. The original concept based on exploration and experimentation. Accessible and perfect for playing with family. Lots of little secrets and level replayability. A true unique identity in the series. The cartridge is full!
The difficulty is very low. Little challenge for experienced players. Some puzzles lack clarity. A lot of text for a very young audience.

Try a Game
The game is damn beautiful.
A different Yoshi game
Finding and triggering powers is super fun.
It piques our curiosity.
Being able to name the creatures from the book
No local multiplayer game
No big challenge or nervousness (is it a flaw for you?)

The perfect game for younger family members, with lots to discover on every level and superb visuals
The gameplay is of mixed quality; the audio seems to have been an afterthought; the lack of difficulty will divide opinion; not a game for everyone

Awaken curiosity and a spirit of exploration
Creatures themselves nameable
High replayability of levels
Many gameplay mechanisms that often intertwine with each other.
Varied and non-linear levels with many hidden details.
No limitation by life or time
This could be a bit more visually varied.

Very charming, simple story
Lots of unique creatures to discover
Collectible flowers add replayability
Pleasant music
Extremely approachable for younger gamers...
...but permanent invincibility is arguably a step too far
Repetitive structure, and stages feel a little empty and drab
Some of the unlockables feel pointless
Visually lacking, especially in handheld mode
