Yoshi and the Mysterious Book

"Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is Nintendo’s most unique 2D platformer in a long time."

"You just know that Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is speeding face-first into a relatively muted response from critics and consumers alike. They will appreciate the art style and energy, but we don’t really have a framework in gaming to properly celebrate the kind of experience that the game is."

""Yoshi and the Mysterious Book" is an entertaining game full of cute characters. It isn’t particularly challenging, and if I get stuck, I can unlock hints. I feel right at home in the book’s picturesque landscape and look forward to meeting new creatures in every level."

"Yoshi and the Mysterious Book isn’t exactly a game, nor does it aim to be one. Instead, it becomes a dynamic lexicon for exploration, experimentation, and interaction with the overall system, changing the look of a Yoshi game."

"Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a love letter to childhood curiosity, wrapped in one of the most beautiful art directions on the Switch 2. It swaps traditional platforming for an adventure of exploration and discovery that may put off those seeking a challenge, but abundantly rewards those willing to let themselves be carried away. With an addictive cataloging system, creatures full of personality, high replayability, and a top-notch Brazilian localization, it’s the kind of game that makes you smile without even realizing it."
