The game is offering a unique style and a new concept. But Kirby's Epic Yarn is too easy to get a 90+ rating.

While you wouldn't call it epic, Kirby's Epic Yarn is a welcome addition in the current, and possibly continuing, dearth of quality Wii titles.

Who knew a stroll into Arts and Crafts land could be this much fun? Kirby's latest adventure is a pure joy, and although it's a bit on the easy side, it'll keep you very entertained from start to finish without even flinching.

Very nice game, nice art style that holds up well even in 2025, i prefer the games from the main series but this is also fun

Not gonna lie, I expected more from this game. The yarn theme is very charming and the whole game is very creative. At the same time, the game is waaay too easy. You basically can't die, and for the most part the game doesn't offer any real challenge (at least in the main story). Moreover, there is a transformation sequence at the end of pretty much all normal levels, but a lot of these transformations are very gimmicky. The train sections should straight up be cut! The story is very bare bones, but at least the platforming is fine. Playing the game in co-op is also fun. What I find weird is how the game cuts a few elements that are present in almost all other Kirby games, like inhaling and abilities, making this game a bit plain. I prefer Kirby's Return to Dream Land, I feel that has more going for, but I suppose this part is also fine.

One best games of the wii it's sad that not many people remember this game nowadays tho the game gives a change to the kirby inhalating everything at his surroundings and makes it very fun to play with the new mechanic been like yoshi's games just to give a little bit of context also the artstyle is beautiful and I have nothing more to say than if you didn't play this I recommend buying a second handed copy nowadays.

Never before has a game been so uniquely captivating, charming and simultaneously fun for its absolute entirety; truly an epic experience which every self-respecting gamer should own.

Overall, I cannot stress enough that if you own a Wii, you need to own this game. It is one of the most fun, unique and charming platforming games.

Jogo fantástico. Simples com jogabilidade perfeita. É ideal para introduzir novatos (especialmente crianças) aos games. Praticamente não existe punição no jogo. E tem co-op pra dois. A arte do jogo chama muito a atenção. As texturas e os mateiras todos remetem a temática do jogo. Outro atributo fantástico são as músicas. Existe um bom valor de replay no caso de buscar todos os colecionáveis. Gameplay: 10

Som e música: 10

Kirby's Epic Yarn is a wonderful surprise. Brilliantly crafted to take the player on a fantastic voyage into a world of patchwork, you will easily fall in love with Kirby's attitude and yarn-inspired aesthetics.

Nintendo has all too often repeated its wish to put smiles on as many faces as possible, and Kirby's Epic Yarn is arguably the most successful exponent of that mantra. [Issue#104, p.114]

Perfectly sized for young children and the parties with all the family, Kirby's Epic Yarn is undeniably one of the titles that everyone can conclude without real effort, especially with two players, but still keeps some surprises in store for those who want to unlock everything.

One Of The Most Creative Games Ever Epic Yarn is by in large a perfect game with it's concept alone.

No fue tan intuitivo para mí, prefiero otros juegos que siguen la jugabilidad clásica de los juegos de Kirby

I will be the only person that will be negative about this game. I know it looks good and yes I know it is very cute and looks it does sound really good but its not Kirby. This is a game that Nintendo wanted to make and had every right to make but why put Kirby in it. The Kirby franchise is one of my favorite series that has ever been made and it kinda makes him look less like a pink badass and more like a pink little jerk. I like been able to turn into a fire breather and a guy that looks likes Link but instead of him been old school Kirby he was turned into something so cute it made me mad and very upset. He is not yarn he is a monster eating alien. I hate this game with all my heart and I want people to hate this game but that is not going to happen anytime soon.
