Good-Feel's Switch 2 exclusive is a watercolour-painted Yoshi adventure built around a creature catalogue and a talking mustachioed tome named Mr E. Yoshi flutter-jumps through ten chapters of paper-illustrated habitats, observes hidden creatures, and helps Mr E remember the contents of his own library. No game-over screen, no health bar, no time limit; a separate Chronicle mode adds limited lives and leaderboards for players who want real risk.

Our Review

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book Review - Good-Feel's Switch 2 Exclusive Trades Spike-Pit Difficulty for a Watercolour Creature Catalogue, a Tweedy Mustachioed Tome Named Mr E, and the Most Distinctive Yoshi Identity in a Generation - With a Hidden Chronicle Mode That Quietly Restores Every Challenge the Main Game Removed

A deliberately gentle, deeply charming platformer-adjacent stamp book that turns Yoshi loose in a watercolour-painted creature catalogue. The no-fail main mode will frustrate players who came for spike-pit precision, but the hidden Chronicle mode restores stakes for anyone who opts in - and Mr E is the best supporting character Nintendo has written in years. Not Game of the Year material; absolutely the kind of game you will recommend to a friend with a Switch 2.
