    All sizzle, no steak. The gameplay is utter trash. Complete waste of time and money. Looks nice on the surface, but the animations are stiff and weird so even the aesthetics are ultimately second rate.

    You want a good samurai game, play ghost of tsushima. Yumy suffers from horrible frame rate, repetitive combat. Agat, Tsushima is better in every way

    The biggest Repetitive **** in my entire Lifetime I ever played. Tank Control from the 90's Playstation (Resident Evil Style), Story is from Absurdly to Boring, Fighting System are Horrible,
    Who wants play a great Samurai Game, should play Ghost of Tsushima. You can play with Noir filter aka "Akira Kurosawa" it's a thousand times better than this. This Game is your Money not worthy.

    This is one of the worst games I've played in recent times. They're basically hiding a terrible game behind a cheap black and white instagram filter with some poxy 'old film' effects to hide the poor graphics, bad animation and disgusting framerate. Eurogamer has a whole article about how poor this game performs on next-gen consoles even though it's basically a gameboy game.

They're basically hiding a terrible game behind a cheap black and white instagram filter with some poxy 'old film' effects to hide the poor graphics, bad animation and disgusting framerate. Eurogamer has a whole article about how poor this game performs on next-gen consoles even though it's basically a gameboy game. The combat is something you'd come up with yourself if you were a first-time game developer. It's just light attack and heavy attack with a couple of obvious combos. Parrying is uninspired and the flow doesn't feel right. Frustratingly, there's numerous times when you can choose between two paths but when you pick one, you can't go back to the other, meaning you miss collectibles. The fixed camera angle from Resident Evil 1 is immersion-breaking. The combat is incredibly repetitive. If you like the theme, just play Ghosts of Tsushima like every other sane person - that's one of the best samurai games of all time. This is trash. I'd rather eat bob all day than ever play this again. Shame on you, developers. I appreciate the indie games scene but I didn't pay £450 to play Tetris. I hate everyone.… Expand

    Dreadful game, the camera view is obnoxious, the black / white design is stupid, the plot is boring.

    Utterly boring with laggy fighting system, dodging and parrying keeps getting lagged if u have more than 3 enemies surrounded. Even if u can get used to it, which has not much to offer in upgrading and fighting style at all n the same thing would keep repeating all over and over n over again, the game itself is so boring, dont even wanna finish it since the writting and story isn’t thatUtterly boring with laggy fighting system, dodging and parrying keeps getting lagged if u have more than 3 enemies surrounded.

    Trek to Yomi is artistically perfect, but for some reason the game developers seem to forget it is a video game. Gameplay is awfully inconsistent. You can eliminate an npc in 3 hits; but later on, you meet the same npc and it gets eliminated in 6 hits; and another time in just 2. For a game based on parrying, it has a very terrible parrying system thats also inconsistent.

For a game based on parrying, it has a very terrible parrying system thats also inconsistent. Boss fight could have been better with parrying fixes. Unfortunately, the game is really repetitive. You fight the same npcs with the same strategy. They also limit you to the parrying system that barely functions.… Expand

    At eight hours in length on a single playthrough Trek to Yomi is a compelling enough story that makes strong use of cinematic techniques to tell a samurai tale in a novel way. Its approach could easily be imagined on the silver screen but its interactive medium makes for a compelling combat-heavy side scroller with enough mechanical depth to warrant multiple playthroughs.

    I can recommend Trek to Yomi to those who want to experience a dark story. But even though visuals are eye-candy, I gotta admit gameplay is kind of a letdown.

    It’s a shame that despite a story about finding balance, Yomi doesn’t manage to achieve that itself, being a handsome cinematic homage on an indie budget, but sadly lacking the smooth and satisfying swordplay to back it up. [Issue#15, p.78]
