A game whose component pieces are so undeniably strong somehow coalesces into something that I no longer want to spend much time with. Every single one is a beautifully crafted joy to explore, and it rewards curiosity, ingenuity and brute-force stupidity in all the right ways. Yoshi's Island is a triumph of level design. I'm just going to immediately repeat myself, because I want to hammer this home. Still a stage where every single level has the depth of design and surplus of imagination that most games struggle to muster across their entire duration. But Yoshi's Island in slow motion is still Yoshi's Island. I never had a SNES, so I first got to play its platforming swansong using the ZSNES emulator at roughly half its intended speed. Yoshi's Island, you are a complicated game.
