Unsure why the elephant game for children has such an intellectual story. I wasn't really paying attention and then at the end there's like, musings on democracy and you're suppressing a robot uprising? weird just let me shoot peanuts and push boxes around until I solve the puzzles
This is one I've had on my wishlist since I got my switch 6 years ago. It was holding it up. But I've finally gone for it. It wasn't quite what I was expecting, in terms of story at least. Surprisingly philosophical for a cute game about an elephant.
The puzzles were pretty decent as were the dungeons, although the isometric view sometimes hindered depth perception. Otherwise, a decent enough puzzle oriented rpg, which very much has influence from zelda and final fantasy etc. It looks pretty good, too. Big, bright, bold colours. Very Nintendo.
I'm glad I finally got this off the wishlist at least.

Ein kurzes, aber feines und zuckersüßes Abenteuer mit dem Elephanten Yono! Es spielt sich wie ein isometrisches Zelda-Game und war nach den letzten paar Riesen-RPGs eine wundervolle Abwechslung. Hatte meinen Spaß damit und freue mich auf mehr davon :D Da es wirklich n simples und kurzes Game ist, gibt’s von mir hier ne 6/10.
Complete playthrough. Yono and the Celestial Elephants is an utterly charming game, with simple, bright and colourful graphics and an unchallenging plot. The gameplay is somewhat in the style of a 2D Zelda game, which is what attracted me to the game, and on that front it's serviceable enough, but very much on the easy side - to the extent that on occasion Yono can start to feel somewhat tedious; it is, however, quite short (taking somewhere around 3-5 hours for a full playthrough), so this feeling doesn't become too pronounced.
Cute game. A little annoying in places and I have no reason to ever touch it again but it was nice for the couple hours it took me to play through.
A very lineal Zelda-like game where we play as an extremely adorable elephant sent to bring peace to a world filled with puzzles. Both exploration and combat are fairly easy, but doesn't get too tedious. However, I don't know if I'd recommend this game to small children, as the story is pretty complex compared with what I was expecting from such a game.
