Visually, it also lacks the punch that Woolly World and Crafted World offered, and it frankly looks pretty bad in handheld mode.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/ssl\/nintendo-switch-2\/related-articles:200844 @ 1779639624 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t played it yet, no sweat &#8211; you&#8217;re free to return and rate the game at your leisure via the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/yoshi-and-the-mysterious-book\">game&#8217;s page<\/a> should the fancy take you.
