While there’s no debating that Yoshi’s Woolly World is practically filled to bursting with cute, reviews have begun to roll out for the title, and first impressions show a game that is polarizing critics. Many are singing praise for the platformer, but others say that the cuddly visuals hide the fact that the game brings nothing new to the table.
With the game set to release in the U.K. for the Wii U this Wednesday, here’s what the critics have to say about the title:
GameSpot
Score: 6/10

IGN
Score: 7.4/10
-
NintendoLife
Score: 9/10
God Is A Geek
Score: 8.5/10

Ultimately, critics seem to agree that the game is a joy to look at, but it sounds as though the gameplay isn’t anything new. With the game set to release in North America on October 16th, this gives gamers plenty of time to decide if Yoshi’s Woolly World is a yarn worth spinning.
Yoshi’s Woolly World releases June 26, 2015 for Wii U gamers in the UK, but does not hit the North America until October 16th.
