    Un vraiment réussi concernant son ambiance, direction artistique et même le scénario. Très bel hommage aux films de sabres japonais des années 50. Le jeu est très court mais peu importe j'ai passé un très bon moment dessus. Le gameplay est lui aussi réussi, il manque seulement de variété. J'aurais aimé un peu plus de variétés d'action

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

    "Trek to Yomi is one of the most beautiful games I have played in a long time. It’s visual style is cinematic and really shows off how well the developers understand the work of Kurosawa. That’s what makes it all the more unfortunate that there just isn’t that much to the gameplay, which leads to it feeling a little long in the tooth by the end.""Trek to Yomi is one of the most beautiful games I have played in a long time.

    Indie games with an amazing art direction. Simple gameplay (seems a metroidvania) with a lot of combo attack.

    Trek to Yomi is a love letter to classic Japanese cinema. Fans of the genre will be fully immersed and giddy about being able to experience something like this, and it is something to behold visually even for those who don’t come with prior knowledge. Unfortunately, those visuals are best experienced on systems other than the Nintendo Switch, which only makes the monotonous gameplay more evident. Incredible storytelling, though cliché, boosts Trek to Yomi towards something worth experiencing, especially when the game can be beaten in an afternoon.

    An intensely cinematic game, Trek to Yomi enhances the action-platformer genre with a rich story and beautiful design that leaves a lasting impression.

    Trek to Yomi is something I would hesitantly recommend to fans of Kurosawa flicks or those looking for a stylish action game. It plays most of its gameplay cards too early and ends up being rather tedious for such a brief affair, but it’s worth the squeeze, if only barely, to see its various sights. That said, if you have any other options besides the Switch to play it on, I’d suggest doing so there. This is a game that is all about its visual presentation and the compromises the Switch version makes detracts from that.
