Yea it’s been fairly fun. Right now still just casually playing before going back to get 100%. It makes me think of Scribblenauts but without the “DIY” element.
A 35/40 is a really interesting score. Yoshi games have such a fun, relaxed style, and I’m curious to see how the mysterious book idea works throughout the game. This feels like the kind of game I’d happily play with coffee nearby while taking a break from everything else.
