After The Shake Dimension, a real playable cartoon that shook many Wiimotes, Good-Feel then developed Kirby Over the course of the adventure. As such apart in the history of the little pink ball, if only at the level of its woolly graphics, will succeed the very nice Yoshi's Woolly World. This first encounter of the studio with the dinosaur is now followed by Crafted World. All these games are part of the same line: titles designed to entertain casual players without too much hassle. Thus, the level of difficulty is always low, with enemies rather relative aggressiveness and traps generally easy to detect, or at least not very punitive. The challenge is then elsewhere, usually in the many hidden objects everywhere that must be collected in order to really complete a level. If reaching the end of the course is therefore within everyone's reach, it is necessary to show good judgment in order to find all the secrets. In the case of Crafted World, the designers of the levels have also shown great creativity and the many interactions with the elements of the decor show real ingenuity. It must be said that, despite the 2D maneuverability, Crafted World plays with depth and perspective to hide coins, smiling flowers and other mystery clouds where you least expect them.
PLAYING ON POINTS OF VIEW
In addition, each level offers a back variant once it has been completed for the first time. This new version is then an opportunity for an additional challenge, since this time it is a question of finding the three tipoochys they are hosting, with the possibility of winning a bonus if the task is carried out under a certain time limit. . Knowing that you have to spend an increasing amount of smiling flowers to progress in the game, it is therefore recommended to explore each area well, even if it means going through them again later, if necessary. We can also take the opportunity to get started with a partner since Yoshi's Crafted World offers a two-player mode simultaneously accessible with a simple pair of Joy-Con. If necessary, an option allows you to select the Relax control type in order to facilitate handling. Ideal when you want to play with your children, for example. If that's not enough, it's also possible to unlock different costumes for Yoshi. In addition to giving an original look to the protagonist, these costumes have the ability to withstand a certain number of shocks and therefore avoid losing hearts when hitting an enemy or a trap. These accessories are obtained thanks to the gachapons scattered on the world map against a few coins collected during the level; but it is also possible to acquire special models by scanning certain Amiibos.
A REAL LIVING DIORAMA
But what makes this Yoshi's Crafted World definitely endearing is its very shimmering visual style and teeming with details. Especially since the whole is made with care, recalling that all it takes is a good achievement, in the absence of a great technical performance, to provide pleasure. In addition, all the levels deliver their little trade secrets when you explore their back, whether it's egg cartons and milk cartons transformed here into different obstacles or bits of string and adhesive tape to hold all. The musical dressing is, moreover, of the same tone, with light and soothing melodies; with the possible exception of one theme in particular whose melody played with a slightly dissonant flute to bring out the childish side can tire in the long run. But, whatever happens, if the naive side and the low difficulty level should struggle to satisfy hardcore gamers, Yoshi's Crafted World can be wholeheartedly recommended to casual gamers or those looking for a Switch game to give away. young people around them.
