Yoshi and the Mysterious Book Preview: It’s More for Kids Than for You and That’s OK
IGN

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is quite adorable.
The scratchy fantasy book illustrations are very charming, all the little guys are super cute, and I am a fan of the choice to keep Yoshi half-pixelated in an homage to all the Yoshi games that came before this one.
The whole thing might not be truly E for everyone if you were hoping for, say, a successor to Yoshi’s Island for Switch 2.
But Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a gentle platformer that seems almost certain to provide an easy on-ramp to the Nintendo ecosystem for the next generation of Yoshi fans.
