Yoshi's Woolly World Vs Little Big Planet

 

Yoshi’s Crafted World Preview

Yoshi’s Crafted Worldcontinues the trend of platformers that use a “real world” aesthetic ofcrafting materials making up the world in which the characters travel through(see Yoshi’s Wooly World, Paper Mario, Little Big Planet, Unravel,etc.). Most of these games have the “cuteness factor” working very much intheir favor, but Crafted World maytrump them all in that area, if not in platforming difficulty.

Yoshi's Woolly World Switch

There’s a demo currently available for the upcoming Switchgame which gives a nice, but short, preview of what’s in store for us. The demotakes you through a world filled with cardboard cut-outs, milk cartonbuildings, and a train built from a bunch of random stuff. As my wife put it,“It’s like a kid’s craft project come to life.” Indeed, the surroundingscombined with Yoshi’s yarn like, wooly exterior makes the whole experience feellike playing with a scrapbooker’s tool box to make a game. Pair those visualswith cute, sweet sounds and a pleasant, happy score, and you definitely havethe front-runner for this year’s most adorable game. But how does it play?

Yoshi’s Woolly World has three big things in its favour: it feels fabulous to play, it looks sumptuous and it sometimes makes you feel like a genius. Even amongst the generous array of mega. Sep 27, 2015  About The Game In Yoshi’s Woolly World gameplay, it’s not just about cute graphics: the handmade theme of the game graphics adds to the tactility from the Yoshi universe. These games have always been extremely physical because of the character’s signature jump, not fairly as famous as Mario’s character, but much more distinctive as he kicks his legs and audibly strains to attain.

Yoshi's Woolly World All Bosses

Honestly, hard to tell from this demo. The platforming ispretty straight-forward and simple in the one level you get to play here.However, it never gets old to swallow enemies and poop them out as eggs, whichYoshi can then use to shoot at various items to find secrets and hidden coins.The challenge of this level wasn’t so much in the platforming or defeating theenemies, but in finding all the collectibles. There are coins to collect,daisies (the friendliest flower) in your first run through, then you get theoption to go back and find the hidden poochies (no, not the dog from theSimpsons that almost ruined Itchy and Scratchy), but Yoshi’s new pet (which isweird, because I thought Yoshi was Mario’s pet). This task is interestingbecause now the level flips around and you get to see it from the reverse side.It’s really fun to see how all the crafted items were put together, and itgives the level a different feel. Finding the poochies isn’t too hard, but youare being timed, so that adds a nice sense of urgency to the level. After this,you then get the task of finding five cows and shooting them with eggs. Afterall of these collecting tasks are complete, that’s the end of the demo. So,yeah, not much here, but enough to give you a taste.

Yoshi's Woolly World Vs Little Big Planet 4 Release Date

All in all, there’s nothing terribly difficult about any ofthis. I’m not sure the cute aesthetics will be enough to carry the game if it’sall this easy. Gameplay videos make it look like there may be some tougherchallenges to come in the full game. Don’t hear me wrong, I don’t want somebrutally impossible platformer here, but it’d be nice if the game isn’t just astroll in the park like the demo level. The promise of tougher levels, co-op play,and plenty of collectibles to find make Yoshi’sCrafted World one to keep an eye on this Spring; it releases March 29.
