IGN First this month seems to be about Yoshi's Crafted World, and they're revealing stages in the game. I will update as they add more.

Weighing Acorns


I like the bus segment at the end of this level: really makes the level feel like a diorama. This is from IGN France.

The Shogun's Castle


I like this level: it looks to be a nice challenge (not overwhelmingly hard, but still fun) and the little mini-boss segment versus "The Shogun" looks interesting.
This video cuts out most of the level: the middle level featured large enemies with swords, spinning spike platforms and those moving... platform... things?

Be Afraid of the Dark


Wow - this level is really cool. I love the "horror" vibe, really creative.

What do you think?

This game looks wonderful and the demo was full of charm. My kids are currently loving Kirby: Star Allies and I know they'll be excited for this.

It's too bad the soundtrack is so bland when visually it is such a treat. Still getting this day 1, I'm ecstatic for coop.

The OST is really soporific, I'm afraid this game will put me to sleep even with its great gameplay from what I played with the demo.

It looks good. I miss the aesthetic of Woolly World but I think this is a faithful successor.

I played the demo with my son (almost 4) and all he wants to do now is watch me play it. Let me say it has already been a long wait for this to come out and we still have a ways to go.

I said this on one of the gamexplain videos but it contributes to an overally saccharine sweet vibe that comes across as patronizing. Theres such a thing as too cute.

What happened to foreboding castle music or some brisk but catchy tunes for the meadows?

Yeah that's the thing. Kirby does it right for example, the original Yoshi's Island did it too... damn, even Yoshi Story wasn't too cute for the most part, and that game was cute as fuck

This isn't looking too good, tbh. Not a fan of the Cardboard artstyle, something like Tearaway would've worked much better.

Was interested in this initially, but it's seriously sided with the younger audience. Not interested now, honestly.

Looks like "The Shogun's Castle" video got taken down. I suspect it was published too early, so it'll probably be back in the next week.
In the meanwhile, here is the Twitter clip showing the mid-boss from this level:

I really don't get the complaints about the soundtrack. The main theme is so goddamn cute and I love the smorgasbord of percussion instruments.

watched the first video
damn, this game looks beyond gorgeous. good-feel have really knocked it out of the park with the art direction.
i should probably not watch the other upcoming videos tho, cuz some of these moments are better experienced when you play yourself. the yoshis humming the theme while sitting at the bus stop was way too cute.
couldn't be more excited, a day 1 game for me for sure. also like how each level is supposed to be played several times, which I also liked in the demo.

I really don't get the complaints about the soundtrack. The main theme is so goddamn cute and I love the smorgasbord of percussion instruments.
agreed. it's nothing amazing, but i get its charm. certainly not as terrible as some people are making it out to be.

All of the music I've heard so far from this game is really subpar. I hope there's a little more variety in there, Wooly World had an impressive and diverse soundtrack.

Y'all I don't want this to turn into an echo chamber, but seriously, coming from Woolly World, what the FUCK were they thinking with this music?!

This was going to be an exciting day-one experience for me, but after playing the demo and watching the Shogun footage, I don't think i can handle this music. This may actually be game-ruining for me, and that's coming from someone who loves Dragon Quest 11.

Imo nothing about this game is better than Woolly World which I loved. I tried the demo to this and really didn't like it and the OST is ear-grating. I don't know why they want to emulate Yoshi's Story, that game was always pretty bad.

I haven't watched these yet but I saw a Japanese trailer of some new levels and they actually looked kinda challenging, hopes are increasing
