Review: Woodo - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - An Irresistible, Hard-To-Define Formula For Pure Relaxation
Could-o Woodo should-o. Woodo is like a cosy colouring book – that’s how three-person indie studio Tiny Monks Tales characterises its game. You have the outline of a colourless scene and need to beautify it by applying colourful items in the right places. This is a good comparison and one that captures the mindful focus and something-do-to-while-doing-something-else-ness of colouring in. But Woodo isn’t really a colouring book. Its scenes do begin as muted, almost ghostly dioramas, with each object you place painting another little patch of life into them. However, there’s no choice of what colour goes where and no risk of going over the lines. Instead, the pieces are rendered as gorgeous little chunks of wood, painted and varnished, that slot into their predefined homes. There’s something particularly satisfying about watching a grey, indistinct space become a warm, detailed, wooden world one piece at a time. Read the full article on nintendolife.com
