Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a series of delightful, intriguing surprises. Our review.

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a whimsical, charming game that’s packed full of charisma and creativity. Its explorative focus feels like a natural fit for Nintendo’s green dino, and the abundance of discoveries and collectibles keeps the experience engaging from start to finish. While the basic narrative and low-challenge platforming sections may not be to the taste of some gamers, this still feels like one of the best Yoshi titles we’ve had in quite some time.

Is Yoshi and the Mysterious Book a real page turner? Or will fans find this latest adventure hard to swallow?

For the first time this decade, Yoshi is back as the star of his own video game. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book takes the green dinosaur (and his multicolored dinosaur friends) on a zoological journey throughout a book’s immersive pages. It’s a creative spin on the Yoshi series that inspired me to experiment with all of its unique gameplay systems.

It’ll be too simplistic for some, but Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a game full of whimsy, wonder, and creativity that rewards you for experimentation and exploration.

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book plays like a unique puzzle game with Yoshi aesthetics, and the result is a largely rewarding experience that rarely challenged me, but didn’t have a problem delivering the charm.

It’s been a long time between drinks for ol’ Yoshi, who hasn’t headlined a game since 2019’s Yoshi’s Crafted World on the original Switch. Always one who’s happy to experiment, everyone’s favourite dino-mount has tried many formulas for his games over the years. He’s been illustrated, crafted and woollen, and messed around with tilt controls and touch screens.

Yoshi games have always revelled in bringing new and distinctive art styles to the table, not to mention exploring different styles of platforming game, and Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is no different. Taking place within the magical pages of Mister Encyclopaedia, there’s a lovely pencil art tone to the visuals, but also more of an educational and exploratory tone to the adventure.

This time, things are a little more relaxed.
