But after few hours I was really frustrated and I had enough of some of art design choices. For example black bars on top and bottom were so big that everything in the center was cramped and SHOULD be big enough and clarified enough to see what it's going on. But very often framing of the camera was so unnecessarily zoomed out from the character that I seriously couldn't see a thing! Very often enemies or different collectibles were just imperceptible on a black and white background. Combat was very frustrating and unresponsive, why can't I parry the attack directly when enemy is attacking? I need to press block button before enemy is about to attack, otherwise I'll get hit. Such frustrating moments when you are surrounded by enemies and some of them are kinda "in the background"... Why? So many times I wanted to hit someone but it turned out that he wasn't fighting yet... He was just waiting and meanwhile I was hit in the back by another enemy... Bosses are so annoying and unnecessarily overpowered - mainly due to combat being so unresponsive and slow. Main plot was really interesting but I would rather prefer much down to earth story without demons or ghosts. It's hard to like the main character because he's lacking of any emotions... He is just doing what his master is telling him to do... He will stay with his love only because of his master? Such a bs. Although game luckily was short and didn't bore me so much. I could only recommend this game if you are a big fan of Japanese stylistic games... But I much rather recommend Onimusha instead of Trek To Yomi.… Expand

    Direção de arte impecável, mas em alguns momentos as vezes o excesso de branco na iluminação e alguns elementos na frente da câmera atrapalham a gameplay.
    Jogabilidade extremamente repetitiva e engessada, não há muita recompensa em aprender novos combos, pois as mecânicas do ínicio do jogo são o suficiente para passar dos desafios.

    Checkpoints muito bem colocados, quando você morre não precisa repetir muito oque foi feito.
    Mesmo na versão de PS5 há quedas brutas de fps em alguns bosses.

    Eu recomendaria esse jogo apenas para entusiastas que querem fazer um estudo sobre arte ou algo do tipo, pois a gameplay e a história deixam muito a desejar, o ideal seria testar através dos serviços de assinatura para ver se é de seu gosto.    … Expand

    The worst combat system - sluggish, unpredictable, and janky. The worst parry system in any game. Restrictive movement and camera.

    One of the most ''MEH'' games i've ever played. Story isn't deep, gameplay is repetitive, puzzles are easy af, boss fights are OK. There are mutliple endings i've ended with the evil one and if not for it i might've given a lower score only that ending is nice.

    + Great visual graphics
    + Great show of war
    + Good voice acting
    + Good Story
    + Effective swordsmanship techniques

    BAD
    - Inappropriate fight animation
    - Stereotyped characterisation
    - Bad boss design
    - Not worth repeating

    It's a masterpiece, a game that you start in the morning and finish in the evening, to never play it again, then you smile watching the credits roll on the screen while also watching the sunset outside your window.

A história seria melhor aproveitada se a jogabilidade estivesse afiada, mas as poucas horas de duração dificultam o envolvimento do jogador com o projeto. O fim do jogo poderá extrair um “mas já acabou?”, deixando aquele gostinho de “quero mais”. Trek to Yomi não é um dos melhores jogos de samurai, no entanto, sua essência representa muito bem as obras clássicas e pela simplicidade de suas mecânicas pode agradar a todos que se aventurarem no caminho do bushido.… Expand

    Such a lousy game. The camera is the most difficult opponent. The hitboxes are simply lousy. Here I was paid attention to the how than the what. Only played via Gamepass, I would never have spent money on this crap.

With the help of fixed camera angles, the game's level design looks much simpler than it is. And level design is cooperate with game's atmosphere very well.
    One of the game's lacking point is combat mechanics. Camera angle turns 2d when combat starts, and then rest of the combat looks like a low budget mobile game.
    And also game has lack of content. There is not much stuff to do while playing except for going one way to find a combat and finish the level. It seems like studio decided to focus on game's visuality instead of gamedesign and content, and seems like it causes well looking **** game.    … Expand

The art is awesome and so are the graphics, the soundtrack is awesome, the voiceacting and writing it just the right amount of cheesy and cliche. And the camera? The camera is simply the best, easily in the top 5 of the last decade.

    Trek to Yomi is honestly one of the best movies of 2022.

    Except it's a game. A bad game. The camera is godlike for a movie, but pretty bad for a game. The game employs the "learn through failure" model - or what I like to call "a--hole design approach" to gameplay. It will teach you how to time parries and attacks, how to stun enemies, how they react to being hit, and so on, and then throws enemies at you that completely ignore the rules the game has set and which still apply to you. Just not to your enemies anymore. Coupled with the rather clunky movement and the abovementioned cinematic camera, it turn combat - the main gameplay part - into a very frustrating ordeal. It's not even challenging. It's just annoying and a chore.

    Trek to Yomi is a great example of "good movie does not equal good game". Best way to enjoy it is to watch someone else suffer through it instead.    … Expand

Trek is not a AAA game and yet it feels comparable somehow with its incredible cinematics and outstanding performances by the Japanese cast. I must warn anyone playing the english va is terrible you can tell it was an after thought so I wouldn't even bother. This game is best played in its native tongue. Trek to Yomi is a beeath of fresh air to side scrolling slashers/beat em ups and I hope to see this trend of incredible cinematics in other games like it become a staple in the future.… Expand

    It's a fact that the black and white treatment helps the game a lot. In the end, it's a nice little one-shot that works more as an atmospheric experience than a game. Especially if you're into samurai and old movies. [Issue#320]

    Trek to Yomi is a game with great promise that, unfortunately, fails to live up to expectations. Despite this, it also succeeds in areas where most games fail. Few games can lay claim to this level of stylistic fidelity. However, its shortcomings are too vast and all-encompassing to ignore. It feels like a game that tries desperately to be more than it is, to have more nuance, more to say. Unfortunately, it's not just the color scheme that's black and white.

    Trek to Yomi’s opening chapter really builds expectation for what will follow, but what does follow doesn’t live up to that promise. It’s a gorgeous game to watch, but the gameplay simply falls short of matching the quality of the visuals.
