The one thing I forgot to mention: the noises Yoshi makes can be SUPER annoying. Especially when you want to throw a lot of eggs in a row. Not a huge deal, but man...it's not fun to listen to. Also, you guys have no idea how much of a nightmare this video was to finish. My editor Kane and I were afflicted by a literal curse or haunting of some sort. Perhaps a gremlin or other mischievous paranormal creature. SOMETHING bad. Our computers just wouldn't do anything right and the thing wouldn't render properly. A day and a half later, we finally got it to work, somehow. So if you ever see Kane on the street, give him an extra good hug for all the effort he put into this Yoshi review.
Yoshi Woolly World's brand new yarn yoshi! Spring yoshi! Fling yoshi! Tie the boss in string yoshi! Zoom yoshi! Boom yoshi! Finding a secret room yoshi! Down yoshi! Underground yoshi! Jump yoshi, then pound yoshi! Tap in a yarn yoshi amiibo, WOAHSHI. Its a *double yoshi e x p l o s h i !* Yoshi's Woolly World: special amiibo bundle avaliable. Only on Wii U. Rated E for Everyone!
Just a quick note: Yoshi's Woolly World's soundtrack was absolutely INCREDIBLE and I'm super disappointed in Crafted World's soundtrack. It still looks fun, but after the masterpiece that was Woolly World's ost, I can't help but feel let down.
Ikr? Wooly World is not even comparable to Yoshi's Crafted World (YCW) in that department. Like, YCW is just the same motive repeated over and over and OVER again with different instruments and rhythms. "Remixing" themes can be agreeable when it's done partially and when the music you're remixing is actually good (like the battle musics in Paper Mario TOK) but god, YCW is the first game that got me legitimately BOTHERED by its music. If a game has "meh" musics, it doesn't affect my playthrough that much but YCW's music really affects my enjoyment of the game. Know how mobile games often propose to mute the music and keep the sound effects? Never have I wanted a console game to have this feature that much before.
Arlo: is extremely family friendly, has a puppet as his mascot, and stops himself when saying “poop” RUclips: demonetizes Arlo Arlo: *_am I a joke to you_*
I thought felt too. Looks like that felt texture which I think Arlo described perfectly as "a messy, gross kind of look.". So if felt is what they were going for I would say they nailed it.
Heya, you should give Woolly World a try. It is actually really challenging in parts (the unlockable levels) and the music is pretty great. If you give this a 6, you might actually give Woolly World a 7!
Having just beat Woolly World for the first time (when it came out in 2015 I was too distracted with Mario Maker), I can wholeheartedly agree with your statement. Especially the soundtrack!
Probably not. Woolly was kinda a bit too much "go right" and I think Arlo would find the level design inferior. It does have a good difficulty, but the item system where you pay gems for abilities makes that easier. Who knows though, just speculation on my part
I have been binging your videos recently... and I have to say I am in love with your content. The reviews are insightful, entertaining and are delightful to watch with your refreshing format. Also the puppetry - which i am convinced is not a puppet but a sentient being - is top notch. Keep it up!
It's a chunky game. I've put 10+ hours in i think (darn you switch playtime counter) and I've not even got the second gem. I've been 100%ing everything though.
Before watching, I’m going to put my review here, then compare afterwards! Category 1 - Controls Amazing! The controls are improved upon so much from past Yoshi titles. Now, instead of having to press down after eating an enemy, Yoshi immediately turns it into an egg. The aiming is astonishingly better, as you can completely control where the egg is thrown! You can even throw the eggs at thing in the foreground & background! Controls earn a 5/5! I don’t have a single complaint. Category 2 - Level Design The levels are outstanding. The themes & gimmicks are so different, that I can remember almost every single one of them. Some are better than others, but they’re all super memorable for one reason or another. My favorites are the river level with the big fish & lily pads, the circus level where you must hop through rings, & the level where you ride a train through the mountains! The levels are also filled with loads of small puzzles & challenges, which makes the design anything but flat. I will say, that some of the levels are memorable for the wrong reasons. Some that come to mind are this one level where these (unfairly) fast clown - dolls chase you, & this HORRIBLE haunted house level. I’ll give level design 4/5 Category 3 - Visuals The visuals are stunning. They combine a real world appearance & a cute/cartoony look that looks great! One of the best parts of the game is admiring the scenery of these levels, & also trying to figure out what the parts of the course are made from. I give visuals 5/5. Probably on of, if not the best looking Switch game. Category 4 - Music It’s really underwhelming. Many of the songs are remixes of the main theme, but it is just music. I’ll give it 2/5. Some of the remixes are really good, but I found myself turning down the volume most of the time. Category 5 - Replayability There is SO much to do after the main game. You can find 5 - 9 Smiley Flowers that are scattered throughout each level, find 100 coins in each level, try to find the 3 Poochie Pups on the flip side of each level in a set amount of time, find several hidden crafts in every world, get to the end of all levels w/ full health, & WAY more! 5/5. In total, the game gets 21/25!
Co-op is surprisingly fun! The devs let you mess with the other Yoshi a lot, so while both of you are moving forward to complete levels and grab collectibles, there are so many opportunities to mess up what the other Yoshi wants to do. Swallow them and fire the other way. Take their eggs. Jump on their head. The game becomes a slightly more chaotic mess as you fight the mechanics and sometimes your friend as well. It makes it more hectic and perhaps not the platforming experience the devs wanted, but it sure is fun.
I’ve never played any yoshi games, but I played crafted world demo yesterday and absolutely loved it. I think I’m addicted. Never seen a game like this in my life. The style, the music, the overall graphics.
I actually think the music was incredible, the main theme was written to be simple and catchy and I just kept wanting to listen to it, you can see that the other compositions are re arrangements of the main theme and I think that is fantastic writing, 8-bit music theory even did a video analyzing it. I think the instrumentation was well done, the heaving use of pitched percussion and tin whistle really suited it well
Wow, such horrible music taste! Did you even hear the ost of Woolly World to be saying this utter nonsense? This game clearly lacked a decent amount of soundtracks and to use the excuse of "it's so good that you want to keep hearing it" is the worst one I've ever read so far
He doesn't really explain it well and he's not entirely correct in how he interprets what's happening anyway. If you've ever played Xenoblade 2, Splatoon 2 or Super Mario Odyssey, sometimes when you rotate the camera in an intense moment, the resolution will drop deliberately. It works two fold. First, it maintains 60 fps in an intense moment and second, the lowered resolution creates the illusion of motion blur. Yoshi's Crafted World does this too at times, but in particular they use it to draw focus between the foreground, middleground and background as you aim your eggs at something. If you haven't noticed this, next time you play, stop and aim an egg at an object in the background. You'll see what appears to be a focusing effect, which is actually a change in resolution. It's kind of a cheaper, smoother way of doing this effect; using dynamic resolution. Also, the resolution has a larger-than-normal difference between docked and undocked. Still, I think it looks great and I've had no real complaints. Oh. Also. Arlo says he doesn't know what material Yoshi is made of and complained about it. He's clearly a plushie!
@@DeltathRiylaan don't even get me started on handheld mode. I rarely wear my glasses while in handheld mode and I never realized how bad xc2 looks handheld until I put my glasses on 100 hours into playing the game mostly in handheld.
@@spellwells It was EXACTLY the same for me with Xenoblade 2! Hehe. I never wear my glasses either in handheld. It gives me a headache for some reason with the screen so close when they're on, for some reason. 😭
Well I did this I played Wooly World because Crafted World came out O did like Crafted World but not my little brother just because of lack of graphic textures he's young so he doesnt think about gameplay first.
Usually I dont mind your lack of experience with games prior in the series but I was pretty shocked that you didn't play woolly world... woolly world is hands down the 2nd best yoshi game, and was a true successor to the Original. The music the variety of stages, the bonus levels, everything was filled to the brim with great game design and amazing gameplay. So this being the same studios second go, I was extremely disappointed at how far they declined...
A lot of people didn't play Woolly World because it was on the Wii U. It's a shame they didn't port it to the Switch instead of the 3DS. Also. I think Crafted World is better in almost every way.
@@DeltathRiylaan it is a shame and I haven't played it yet, so maybe I should try it, but it really doesn't look even closer to woolly world as far as gameplay... and also the most common complaint I hear about crafted world is the music, and in woolly world it was all so amazing. That would be a tough change
Finish the game before you review. You need to get past Yoshis existential crisis in prison before he undergoes mass tax evasion. Jeez people just review a game before they finish it drives me crazy.
I know I’m a year late but I just got this game for Christmas and it is very fun and you should 100% pick it up (unless you have not played Mario Odyssey then get that instead)
Interesting fact, this game was actually made in the Unreal 4 engine, which maybe makes this the first Nintendo game made on third party software. That's an interesting step for Nintendo to take, and maybe explains some of the game performance quirks.
Nintendo really have *crafted* an amazing game with new *cutting* edge technology! The *art* style really *drew* me in. It's a pretty *out of the box* idea! I'm not sorry.
I just discovered this channel; and just saw this adorable video game! I only thought the only gosh I switch game was the yarn one too!! So I’ll see if my wife wants one of these adorable games for her switch
*I approves* You edited your comment, so I now feel the need to edit my comment so it makes sense. However, some things are simply better without context.
It's unfortunate that you haven't played WW, since the main criticism that CW receives seems to be that it isn't as good as WW. Which I don't agree with, btw, mainly because the aiming controls and the checkpointing are infinitely better in CW and I also like the level design and graphics better. WW had these really big, slow-paced, maze-like levels sometimes where you had to spend ages looking for keys and if you died you had to play the last 10 minutes all over again.
You know as a first video to watch for you I kinda love your style of reviewing the game and the fact you are using a puppet to deliver your review. having never watched one of your reviews but hearing you referenced by other youtubers it was kinda refreshing to see something new I hadn't seen before. thank you for finding ways to keep reviewing games exciting. new subscriber right here.
I played the first few areas of crafted world, then remembered that I never finished wooly world, so I haven't played a lot recently... But from what I played, it's an amazing game. Tons of content, overall fun content, NSMB style multiplayer(a little worse though), and is a calm adventure that kids and older people will like(my mother played and enjoyed it a lot) If you liked wooly world, or even didn't like Yoshi games before(like i did), I would still recommend it.
I was worried about the difficulty, but since I LOVE collectibles and the style of the game I think I’ll be picking this up. The review was very informative and entertaining as always, Arlo!
ZinC Podzzz It’s probably the level “be afraid of the dark” (as mentioned in the previous reply here) where you’re being chased down by a creepy sock puppet wilding a axe down a dark alleyway, also to mention that the information boxes have pretty creepy messages for a kids game, it’s like what a little child would experience if they had a nightmare after watching a scary movie (we all been there before)
I just want to let you know that the low rezolution background objects are intentional. That's called (I think) distance blur. That's an add to the quality and makes the game heavyer in some occasions (Luigi's Mansion 3 runs waaaay better without that way of rendering). In real life that also exists, distance blur. CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG PLEASE!
It's technically reffered to as depth of field but it's the same basic principle and some games do call it distance or depth blur. In regards to the reasoning it's certainly possible but it's also conjecture, you'd need to ask the devs why they did it.
About the music: The composer for Woolly World left Good Feel shortly before Crafted World to become freelance, so the soundtrack for Crafted World was kinda cobbled together. It's a shame you seem to pass over the Yoshi games with great soundtracks and play the ones with crap music...
I just want to say that I played co-op with my daughter this weekend and had a lot of fun having her be the lookout/sharp shooter when looking for the extra collectibles from the robots with her Yoshi on my Yoshi's back having me focus a little on looking for the things but mostly making sure we didn't get hit and collecting eggs for her to use. That mechanic works really well if you're playing with younger kids that might not be as good at traversing the levels.
I (and almost everyone) can agree with this. But I will say this: Crafted World has a better artstyle and better creativity/ideas than Wolly World (IMO). I can't say much on the level design though since I haven't gotten the game yet.
Well, a lot of people either A, don't have Amiibo or B, hate Amiibo. So that part doesn't matter much. And for me at least, I don't play for the music. Though I certainly prefer good music.
“Hello my egg pooping friends” 10 seconds into the video and I’m already dying Also this game was one of those games that exceeded my expectations, wasn’t surprised at first, but it ended up being a great game that felt like it was made with a lot of passion from its developers. Happy you really enjoyed it
I'm not super far into this game yet, but I am LOVING it so far! It makes me excited for the rest of the game to hear you speak of the variety of it. Doing a let's play of it and having a blast!
17:23 Complains about Kirby not having a more difficult mode Yoshi crafted world also doesn’t but it gets a pass because you can put “challenges” on yourself Even though you can do the same thing in Kirby LOGIC 💯
Wait a minute you being up a good point. Shouldn't that get a pass since you can put self challenges on yourself as well in some of the modes? Though dont know why he's being this..petty(?) About the game. At first he seemed just ok but then all of the shade from out of nowhere and getting a little tiresome at this point I gotta say from a fan back then
I'm so glad you enjoyed the game, I've been playing it also and my only gripes were the exact ones you mentioned. I would REALLY recommend that you play Yoshi's Woolly World if they ever port it to Switch or if you feel like playing in on the Wii U, they put as much love and care into it as they did Crafted World.

Did you get a new camera? :0
The pink squirrel enemies and some others are actually made of modelling clay. The Yoshis are made of felt.

Just a quick note: Yoshi's Woolly World's soundtrack was absolutely INCREDIBLE and I'm super disappointed in Crafted World's soundtrack. It still looks fun, but after the masterpiece that was Woolly World's ost, I can't help but feel let down.
I do think that Woolly world blows crafted out of the water

Wooly’s soundtrack was alright, can’t say it’s great though

No because that would drop the video to unwatchable
NO

So true
What are you talking about? Arlo IS the puppet.
When was he demonetized?
I feel like they trying to give Yoshi a felt like texture.... but that is just my speculation :) but this game is amazing :)
He's quite evidently a plushie. Not sure how people are missing that.
I thought he looked like felt too! He looks like he was needle felted.
I thought felt too. Looks like that felt texture which I think Arlo described perfectly as "a messy, gross kind of look.". So if felt is what they were going for I would say they nailed it.

This game is pretty beautiful from a design standpoint, but Yoshi's Island on the SNES will be my favorite Yoshi game.
nothing will ever beat yoshi's island. that game was damn near perfection.
While I thoroughly enjoyed Yoshi's Island, I enjoyed Woolly World more, despite its overall lower difficulty. And it ramps up with the special stages.
@@adamcrawford1390 🙌👍
DarkTyyp Music see pretty sure Yoshi's story is and always will be Yoshi's greatest game, any other choice is ignorant
FlowithAntonio it’s an opinion moron
Heya, you should give Woolly World a try. It is actually really challenging in parts (the unlockable levels) and the music is pretty great. If you give this a 6, you might actually give Woolly World a 7!
I think all the levels starting in world 5 are pretty challenging.
Having just beat Woolly World for the first time (when it came out in 2015 I was too distracted with Mario Maker), I can wholeheartedly agree with your statement. Especially the soundtrack!
I agree! Arlo would totally love Woolly World.
My favorite level is probably the curtain one (not sure if that was one of the unlockable ones though)
I agree with this. This game is decent enough but Wolly World is definitely the better game
Probably not. Woolly was kinda a bit too much "go right" and I think Arlo would find the level design inferior. It does have a good difficulty, but the item system where you pay gems for abilities makes that easier. Who knows though, just speculation on my part
You can flutter indefinitely in the original yoshi’s island too, probably just easier to do in this game
No, you can't. You'll lose altitude fast in the original Yoshi's Island.
You gotta fix that whole "never played Woolly World" thing, man. That is one of the best in the series, no doubt
You should definitely play Woolly World
The music is great, and the visuals look phenomenal
Glad you made this review, the demo made it seem stupid easy. This is going back on my list after I finish the original Yoshi's island
That opening was better than all movies opening 10/10
"Its levels are awesomely designed."
Shows Poochie Ain't Stupid.
Got Star Fox Zero and Color Splash for Wii U but not Woolly World.

Before watching, I’m going to put my review here, then compare afterwards!
Category 1 - Controls
Amazing! The controls are improved upon so much from past Yoshi titles. Now, instead of having to press down after eating an enemy, Yoshi immediately turns it into an egg. The aiming is astonishingly better, as you can completely control where the egg is thrown! You can even throw the eggs at thing in the foreground & background! Controls earn a 5/5! I don’t have a single complaint.
Category 2 - Level Design
The levels are outstanding. The themes & gimmicks are so different, that I can remember almost every single one of them. Some are better than others, but they’re all super memorable for one reason or another. My favorites are the river level with the big fish & lily pads, the circus level where you must hop through rings, & the level where you ride a train through the mountains! The levels are also filled with loads of small puzzles & challenges, which makes the design anything but flat. I will say, that some of the levels are memorable for the wrong reasons. Some that come to mind are this one level where these (unfairly) fast clown - dolls chase you, & this HORRIBLE haunted house level. I’ll give level design 4/5
Category 3 - Visuals
The visuals are stunning. They combine a real world appearance & a cute/cartoony look that looks great! One of the best parts of the game is admiring the scenery of these levels, & also trying to figure out what the parts of the course are made from. I give visuals 5/5. Probably on of, if not the best looking Switch game.
Category 4 - Music
It’s really underwhelming. Many of the songs are remixes of the main theme, but it is just music. I’ll give it 2/5. Some of the remixes are really good, but I found myself turning down the volume most of the time.
Category 5 - Replayability
There is SO much to do after the main game. You can find 5 - 9 Smiley Flowers that are scattered throughout each level, find 100 coins in each level, try to find the 3 Poochie Pups on the flip side of each level in a set amount of time, find several hidden crafts in every world, get to the end of all levels w/ full health, & WAY more! 5/5.
In total, the game gets 21/25!

I much prefer the aesthetics of Woolly World. But I'll still pick it up. It should be a fun co-op experience.
almost at the end of the game trying to get 100% completion and I’ve never noticed any drops in graphical quality

No. It's just you are not bothered about graphics all the time

I freaking loved this game.
I got this game for a $1 from Target. I would have gladly paid full price for this game. It is such a chill game.
I just got a Yoshi’s crafted world ad while watching a yoshis crafted world review and playing yoshis crafted world on my switch.
Yoshiception.
If you played Woolly World before Crafted World. It suddenly makes Crafted World so much worse.
Well I did this I played Wooly World because Crafted World came out O did like Crafted World but not my little brother just because of lack of graphic textures he's young so he doesnt think about gameplay first.
I do think that Woolly world blows crafted out of the water
I played woolly world before crafted world and I liked crafted world leagues more
Woolly world is a lot better
I... disagree. I'm sorry, but I disagree.
Usually I dont mind your lack of experience with games prior in the series but I was pretty shocked that you didn't play woolly world... woolly world is hands down the 2nd best yoshi game, and was a true successor to the Original.

So this being the same studios second go, I was extremely disappointed at how far they declined...
A lot of people didn't play Woolly World because it was on the Wii U. It's a shame they didn't port it to the Switch instead of the 3DS. Also. I think Crafted World is better in almost every way.
@@DeltathRiylaan it is a shame and I haven't played it yet, so maybe I should try it, but it really doesn't look even closer to woolly world as far as gameplay... and also the most common complaint I hear about crafted world is the music, and in woolly world it was all so amazing. That would be a tough change
I do think that Woolly world blows crafted out of the water
I often think: "Arlo is the most convincing and seamless puppet work around..."
Than I remember: "Arlo isn't a puppet"
I love how he keeps throwing shade and says “AHEM”
I believe these Yoshi are needle felted. That’s why the texture is so fine
SUCH GOOD PUN INTRO!
Woosh indeed.
DOWNT. That made me laugh so much😂
I think it's a reference to Po's fight against Tai-Lung in Kung Fu Panda, but maybe Arlo is in a DOUWN'T mood today.
@@hps362 Ohhh. I forgot about that.😅 You might be right
Not even 20 seconds in and Arlo just made me laugh.
Same
2/10 Shocking lack of tax evasion
What's the tory behind this?
@@DarkspineBowser ruclips.net/video/Oc8vrGjyqes/видео.html
Probably because it's a dead meme
Wouldn’t that make it better to you people?
This joke isn’t fun at all.
Finish the game before you review. You need to get past Yoshis existential crisis in prison before he undergoes mass tax evasion. Jeez people just review a game before they finish it drives me crazy.
I really wan a switch for this game.... I love yoshi, he is the best and cutest character
I know I’m a year late but I just got this game for Christmas and it is very fun and you should 100% pick it up (unless you have not played Mario Odyssey then get that instead)
@@34turtle how long is the game?
@@thatwaver8309 I think it is 5 hours minimum
@@34turtle damn bruh is it worth it then
@@thatwaver8309 yeah you can get some good time about 25-30 hours out of it (it’s only 5 if you do the bare minimum to complete the game)
Interesting fact, this game was actually made in the Unreal 4 engine, which maybe makes this the first Nintendo game made on third party software. That's an interesting step for Nintendo to take, and maybe explains some of the game performance quirks.
Not true Brawl was made on the havoc engine. If you don’t believe me look at the back of the box
Nintendo really have *crafted* an amazing game with new *cutting* edge technology! The *art* style really *drew* me in. It's a pretty *out of the box* idea!
I'm not sorry.
Dont be
*Raises one eyebrow*
Please leave
@@johnwarosa2905 No, never.
When I bought my copy, it was definitely in the box.
I just discovered this channel; and just saw this adorable video game! I only thought the only gosh I switch game was the yarn one too!! So I’ll see if my wife wants one of these adorable games for her switch
Will you review cup head when it comes to switch?
This game is seriously so cute I love all the vibrant colours, great review x
I feel like "exploshi" should be the name of Yoshi's final smash.
I got a tax based ad on this video that is hiliraous considering this is a yoshi video 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The stars aligned
I, the almighty Biggie Cheese, approve this video.
*I approves*
You edited your comment, so I now feel the need to edit my comment so it makes sense. However, some things are simply better without context.
Oh crap nobody better do anything stupid or biggie might release his wrath on us
Me cat chumby
....who?
When you joining Smash Biggie??
It's unfortunate that you haven't played WW, since the main criticism that CW receives seems to be that it isn't as good as WW. Which I don't agree with, btw, mainly because the aiming controls and the checkpointing are infinitely better in CW and I also like the level design and graphics better. WW had these really big, slow-paced, maze-like levels sometimes where you had to spend ages looking for keys and if you died you had to play the last 10 minutes all over again.
Thanks arlo, this review did alot for me
I love you, Arlo
Woah! Arlo still makes Game Reviews!!!
Why did you think he stopped...? Also, it's spelled whoa.
Nah.
"It`S sPeLt WhOaShI!"
You know as a first video to watch for you I kinda love your style of reviewing the game and the fact you are using a puppet to deliver your review. having never watched one of your reviews but hearing you referenced by other youtubers it was kinda refreshing to see something new I hadn't seen before. thank you for finding ways to keep reviewing games exciting. new subscriber right here.
Switch sound of the year goes to
“DON’T” by arlo
Every time I see the arlo scale I can’t help but chuckle especially the 1 rating
"Hello my Egg Pooping friends!"
Haha.
I played the first few areas of crafted world, then remembered that I never finished wooly world, so I haven't played a lot recently... But from what I played, it's an amazing game. Tons of content, overall fun content, NSMB style multiplayer(a little worse though), and is a calm adventure that kids and older people will like(my mother played and enjoyed it a lot) If you liked wooly world, or even didn't like Yoshi games before(like i did), I would still recommend it.
This review is 1% review and
*99% paper puns*
"Doooon't!" I swear, the Arlo switch intros get me every time!
Reminder that this technically was the game that spawned the "Yoshi Commits Tax Fraud" meme.
how?
No, it was a CinemaSins parody video on Yoshi games that spawned the Tax Fraud meme. That's where the original joke took place.
Though it wasn't in the video itself, it was in a Tumblr post talking about the video
Woah Arlo is your throat fine? You're sure a-hem-ing a lot this video
I've got some cough medicine!
It's grape flavored!🍇
I’ve got some butternut squash flavored medicine
The "person" who controls Arlo has a different voice, so when he speaks in his Arlo voice I think it hurts a little? I'm not so sure
I see the game is on sale for Mar10 day and I was thinking of buying and I wanted to hear your review and after doing so, I think I might buy it!
Arlo you probably wont see this comment but you should do a review on the pro controller!
I was worried about the difficulty, but since I LOVE collectibles and the style of the game I think I’ll be picking this up. The review was very informative and entertaining as always, Arlo!
Maybe it's just my knitter bias showing, but I really preferred the visuals in Yoshi's Wooly World.
I like the way everything looks more in this EXCEPT Yoshi himself. I think yarn Yoshi is cuter than plush Yoshi.
From what I’ve played of Yoshi’s Crafted World “Go Go Yoshi” it was so creative.
4:18
Could someone tell me what he’s talking about? I don’t really plan on playing the game.
I think he meant the "Be Afraid of the Dark" level that subjectively turned the game into a horror game.
ZinC Podzzz It’s probably the level “be afraid of the dark” (as mentioned in the previous reply here) where you’re being chased down by a creepy sock puppet wilding a axe down a dark alleyway, also to mention that the information boxes have pretty creepy messages for a kids game, it’s like what a little child would experience if they had a nightmare after watching a scary movie (we all been there before)
I played the game and I didn’t even know what he was talking about😂
I just want to let you know that the low rezolution background objects are intentional. That's called (I think) distance blur. That's an add to the quality and makes the game heavyer in some occasions (Luigi's Mansion 3 runs waaaay better without that way of rendering). In real life that also exists, distance blur.
CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG PLEASE!
It's technically reffered to as depth of field but it's the same basic principle and some games do call it distance or depth blur.
In regards to the reasoning it's certainly possible but it's also conjecture, you'd need to ask the devs why they did it.
0:46 play this on .25 speed
this is yoshi slowly sucked into oblivion
Yoshi is just gone!
Arlo, you are so fun and whimsical and colorful and blue. Thank you for doing what you do.
Wait... So you haven’t played Wooly World? You should definitely play it sometime!
"Shooting eggs all over the place and just seeing what happens is just a ton of fun" - Arlo 2019
About the music: The composer for Woolly World left Good Feel shortly before Crafted World to become freelance, so the soundtrack for Crafted World was kinda cobbled together. It's a shame you seem to pass over the Yoshi games with great soundtracks and play the ones with crap music...
Will he come back? I wish so we can get bops like in woolly.
I just want to say that I played co-op with my daughter this weekend and had a lot of fun having her be the lookout/sharp shooter when looking for the extra collectibles from the robots with her Yoshi on my Yoshi's back having me focus a little on looking for the things but mostly making sure we didn't get hit and collecting eggs for her to use. That mechanic works really well if you're playing with younger kids that might not be as good at traversing the levels.
Woolly World has the better OST and amiibo content.
This is fact.
I (and almost everyone) can agree with this. But I will say this:
Crafted World has a better artstyle and better creativity/ideas than Wolly World (IMO). I can't say much on the level design though since I haven't gotten the game yet.
Well, a lot of people either A, don't have Amiibo or B, hate Amiibo. So that part doesn't matter much. And for me at least, I don't play for the music. Though I certainly prefer good music.
I love that you named this "Yoshi Exploshi"!!
STAR FOX ZERO WAS GOOD THANK YOU VERY MUCH
I really think Crafted World is underrated. It's such a joy of a game.
“Hello my egg pooping friends”
10 seconds into the video and I’m already dying
Also this game was one of those games that exceeded my expectations, wasn’t surprised at first, but it ended up being a great game that felt like it was made with a lot of passion from its developers. Happy you really enjoyed it
The end of the Pikmin 3 LP and a review? This is a fine day to watch some Arlo stuff. :)
How can you complain about the Wii U and never played Wooly World?
So far Wooly World was more enjoyable to me than Crafted World
This comment is silly. You can have an opinion on a system without having played literally every game for it.
Has someone already crafted a whole Yoshi map in real life? That would be a pretty good project.
7.8/10
Too much yoshi
You can never have too much Yoshi.
I'm not super far into this game yet, but I am LOVING it so far! It makes me excited for the rest of the game to hear you speak of the variety of it. Doing a let's play of it and having a blast!
17:23 Complains about Kirby not having a more difficult mode
Yoshi crafted world also doesn’t but it gets a pass because you can put “challenges” on yourself
Even though you can do the same thing in Kirby
LOGIC 💯
Wait a minute you being up a good point. Shouldn't that get a pass since you can put self challenges on yourself as well in some of the modes?
Though dont know why he's being this..petty(?) About the game.
At first he seemed just ok but then all of the shade from out of nowhere and getting a little tiresome at this point I gotta say
from a fan back then
Ruben Giglio
Also I don’t think he can complain about difficulty when his favorite game (or one of them) is Mario odyssey ;p
He also never seemed to touch the arena ex when he revisited the game
Kyle Campbell
He should play that without abilities and then tell us it’s still to easy ;)
Assassin Charmander though playing a Kirby game without abilities kinda defeats the point
I know this video is from earlier this year, but that intro was fantastic!
0/10 No double Yoshi Exploshies
*This comment is also rated 0/10 for being unoriginal*
Great review Arlo! U r the best! And I LOVED all the references! So funny and perfectly timed!! Do that in future reviews
Complaining about music in Yoshi games? Go play Woolly World.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the game, I've been playing it also and my only gripes were the exact ones you mentioned.
I would REALLY recommend that you play Yoshi's Woolly World if they ever port it to Switch or if you feel like playing in on the Wii U, they put as much love and care into it as they did Crafted World.
4:10 what is he talking about? I wont play the game dont worry
Hey Arlo great review enjoyed the whole video and say thanks to Kane for me. Greetings from the Bahamas.
Hello my birth giving friends lmao
