Yoshi and the Mysterious Book isn’t the kind of game I would typically pick up. I like Yoshi enough as a character, but I’m not a huge fan of 2D platformers — I haven’t even played Super Mario Bros. Wonder yet.
When I do play 2D platformers, I really enjoy fast-paced and/or collection-focused levels. So, when I got the chance to try out Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, I was wondering whether it would hold my attention. Spoiler alert: I enjoyed the game more than I expected to, but it took a while for the ball to get rolling for me.
