Yoshi's Crafted World is a solid 2.5D platformer that makes interesting use of its 3D environment. At its best, it'll remind you of the finest games in the genre, like Klonoa and Tomba, but the game can feel repetitive at times, especially going for 100% completion.
This is due to the needless padding each stage introduces, in which you have to throw an egg at every crafted object the game tells you to, which would be fine if it let you check them all off the list at once, rather than forcing you to go out of a level and then back in for the next one.
Other than that, it plays like a standard Yoshi game, in which you have to reach the goal taking as little damage as possible, with completion rewards given for all 20 red coins collected and every flower acquired in a stage. It's more laid back than other titles, making exploration a much more comfortable experience, but if you only want to breeze through each level, it's a ridiculously easy game that you'll finish in no time.
Overall, it's nowhere near as bad as its detractors will have you believe, especially if you don't rush through these games while skipping all the secrets and branching paths, but it does suffer from some repetition due to needless padding and other easily fixable problems. If you like what you see, then you'll enjoy the game, otherwise wait for a sale.

From the manufacturer
Jump into a new Yoshi adventure in a world made of everyday objects—like boxes and paper cups!
As Yoshi, you'll leap up high, gulp down enemies, and set out on a treasure hunt to find all the different collectables. On the flip side, stages can be played backwards, providing new perspectives to explore and new ways to locate some of the more craftily hidden items!
It all started when Kamek and Baby Bowser set out to steal a gem-set stone. Legend has it that this fabled artifact can grant the bearer their wildest dreams! But when the artifact’s gems are sent flying, it falls upon Yoshi and friends to find them. Luckily, saving the day can be cooperative and challenging. Pass a Joy-Con™ controller to a friend to team up as fellow Yoshis.
