TLDR: Good Nintendo-style platformer with good music and levels where most of the difficulty is found in the boss fights and collecting everything rather than simply beating all of the levels.

A nice little platformer that can be finished in not too much time. The concept and level design both make the game easy compared to other Nintendo platformers, but still offer some challenge in the late game and postgame content. Also, there is an equivalent to an easy mode offered for people who just want to enjoy the game without needing to focus too much and stress out, but I never used it, so I can't give too much detail about how it works.

The music is pretty good and sets the tone for each level fittingly. Also, the gameplay is enjoyable and consistent with previous Yoshi games to my knowledge, while adding in new features to go with the yarn theme.

Beating the levels themselves is very easy and offers no real difficulty in my opinion, so most of the difficulty that is found in the game comes from the bosses and the collectables. The bosses being difficult is expected, so no need to go into detail on that. However, trying to obtain all of the collectables has proven to be quite difficult since there are 3 different types of collectables to be found in every level. Even with the collectable-finder badge, some levels will require you to replay them multiple times due to you missing 1 or 2 things. Still working on collecting everything, so hopefully I can finish this game up and see if anything happens at the end.
