yoshi...

this game is basically the spiritual successor to kirby's epic yarn considering good feel and all that, and I will say that the yarn aesthetic and comfy vibes fits the slower, more explorative gameplay of yoshi than it does kirby. That being said, my goopy gamer brain felt yoshi's island was a bit too slowly paced for my tastes, and the same can apply here. The slow pace of everything can make levels feel longer than they should be, and I still am not the biggest fan of how the yoshi games do secrets in the "just have invisible items everywhere" sense (though once I got the "show hidden items" badge I used it til the end of the game). Despite that though I think that the comfy vibes, excellent visuals, and great soundtrack still make this game worth playing. The co-op is also fun as well, this would probably make a better 2-player journey than a single-player one. Glad I finally played through this one after owning it for so many years.
