Yoshi's Woolly World (Wii U)
I bought this when it was released, mostly for the amiibo that came with it, but never played it. I intended to at some point, but I never did. Now I finally did. And it was a very refreshing 2D platformer after the crap that was Zip Lash.

I haven't played too many Yoshi games. I've played Yoshi's Story, and a little bit of Yoshi's Island, but that's it before this. Largely because I hate Yoshi's signature jump. But I didn't mind it too much in this one, and it's making me wonder if I should give some of the other games in the series a chance. The scenery was nice, the level design was great, the yarn gimmick was used just as well here as it was in Kirby's Epic Yarn, and, most of all, the music was phenomenal. I might like to get this soundtrack. It was just so happy it warmed my heart.

The difficulty curve was pretty much perfect. The first three worlds were very easy, the fourth, fifth, and first half of the sixth world were tricky, and the second half of the sixth world was actually very tough. I actually got a bit frustrated with the last few levels.

I didn't get a lot of the collectibles. This is something I might go back and try to complete some more of someday, but it's not on my radar right now. Part of the reason for that has to do with my biggest complaint with the game - a lot of the time, there was simply too much to do between checkpoints. There could be a ton of collectibles way out of the way, and then if you you died before another checkpoint, that was a lot to do all over again. Another minor complaint I have is that if you struggle with a level, that is, die more than like twice, the game starts bugging you to see if you want to put it on babby mode, which is kind of insulting and just adds to the frustration.

Overall, while this was certainly no masterpiece, it was cute and I'm glad I played it. It certainly has me wanting to play Crafted World, if not some of the others in the series.
