I like the new title cards you have for each section. Nice job!
Hey Karak, I picked up Trek to Yomi and I just want to point out to you that there is an option for English voices. It was under accessibility in the settings.
Delighted your channel has blown up to where it should be, my feelings toward you & your content has always been there for you bud! Now that I'm only 5 hours drive away in Meridian Idaho I would enjoy a road trip some time for a lunch visit when time permits of course. Thanks for reviews & impressions I look up to man!
I hope this brings back the trend of pre determined camera angles. There's a lot of artistic design that goes into how camera angles are set during game play
I was thinking the exact same thing as I'm playing now. There is a lot of control over the presentation when you can set the camera angles. Outside some of the jank, this game is gorgeous.
Reminds me of the old metal gear days
"Resident Evil if that game happened during Ghost of Tsushima's timeframe". Onimusha Warlords?
The original is still a great game. It's unfortunate the series has been abandoned since the ps2.
Exactly!!!
I practically just wrote this word for word. lol
Need a return to this series before I die.
@@michaellahiton2481 Not really. It got a re-release on PS4 and Nintendo Switch. But yes, I would love another Onimusha game!
Always look forward to your reviews! Thank you for all you do to keep us, the customers, informed thoroughly and without any unneeded BS and buzz words. Straight to the point!
Is this PS5 winner a scam? 🤔I almost contacted them! 😱
@@edmundmondo1682 yes, obviously
Thanks for the recommendation dude love the style of the video I'm going to pick this one up i was definitely on the fence before.
"Remember, options are fine. They don't harm you."
Thank you lol
That’s the one thing I didn’t get.. I’m playing in English just fine?!?
Style over substance, I love the aesthetic as a fan of Akira Kurosawa so it’ll definitely be a future purchase but not an immediate one.

Bro the editing in your videos has gotten so good. Fuck. So smooth and all the transitions we're perfect. Never jarring. Never seemed out of place. Another great review. 👍
Exactly what I was hoping for, unique is a genre simply doesn’t get the spotlight enough. Thanks ACG.
I read this 20 times and still have no clue what you’re saying
@@jonr7364 forgot 'simply that doesn't'
@@jonr7364 😂
2.5D games are so underrated. When done well, they are basically majestic in presentation.
Yes, but only though when the camera and controls work in harmony.
I loved Little Nightmares' visuals but maaan...the controls and camera started to piss me off 3/4 of the way through in the main campaign.
Agreed. Same with stuff like Metroid Dread and Ori.
@@sushigimme I never got a chance to play that one. I agree, these things need to be perfect.
@@Drstrange3000 Exactly. Ori was especially surprising. They had it perfect with amazing controls too.
What the hell is 2.5D? lol its 3d with different camera angles
Love your channel, your videos and the before you buy videos are the go to videos for game reviews
Wonderfully informative review, as always! I have already pre-downloaded this and cannot wait to jump in. The direction looks absolutely stunning.

I love that they handled the Ghost of Tsushima weight and the moving camera to track the action. Excellent review. Thank you ACG
Love your reviews ACG. The horizon dawn forbidden west graphics video was really really gd. Thanks and keep it up mate.
ACG, thanks for not including spoilers! This is why you're the best reviewer. I still get to find out if the boy is actually packing a monster between his legs.
I'm also enjoying that you put a censor bar over a massive would be dong in a game made by a studio called Flying Wild Hog.

This is why I love and will always support this channel. I never heard of this game and would have missed out if not for this honest review. Best review channel period.
What spam is this?
THANK YOU, not for this review but for bringing up Pandemonium. When I was a kid I used to sit and watch an old family friend play this on his computer and I've always wondered what the game was called because there is so much nostolgia behind it. I spent some time searching through old 90's pc games to find gameplay of it but was never able to pinpoint what game it was, until now!
The POWER of monochrome! Love it.
Helpful review as always.
May not read this, but I truly think you put in the work with your videos. I don't have to agree with what you say. But i believe no independent reviewer on UA-cam works as hard as you do. And I appreciate your work.
As a huge fan of Akira Kurosawa's films, Ghost of Tsushima and Limbo, Trek to Yomi is right up my alley. The game is gorgeous to look at and it's fun to play. It lasts around 5-6 hours and the price point is reasonable given its length. I've had my eye on Trek to Yomi ever since it was first announced. The wait was definitely worth it. Otherwise, thanks once again Karak for another honest, unbiased and detailed review! I really appreciate the hard work!
it's not fun to play it's the same thing over and over stun finish stun finish once you play it you'll understand how disappointing it is.
Check out sword of doom , it’s not Kurosawa but it’s fantastic
What did you think of the swordplay?
@@OODLESMCBOODELS Try different moves,theres a full move set for that reason,especially needed on higher difficulties,..the game was excellent,..disappointed is not a word that should ever be used on this game
I absolutely LOVE your approach to game reviews!
Oh fantastic! An ACG review for lunch break! Thank you!
Hadn't heard of this but this is absolutely gorgous to look at. I'll be getting this at some point.
It's on Game Pass
If it's on gamepass, chances are it's open for options to be on PS+++. But, if you want to support directly pick it up on sale.
Okay so? I don't have game pass.🤦
repetitive as hell and also some enemies are just down right unbalanced.
@@OODLESMCBOODELS just like the review said - it's more about presentation and story rather than combat
Love your videos man! Looking forward to the livestream tomorrow.
As soon as I saw this, I pre-ordered it. Glad to know it's also receiving positive reviews.
Trek to Yomi released 5am here in Fiji and I played a bit of it before I had to head off to work, but I was absolutely in love with it. I'm a huge fan of Kurosawa and was actually watching a bunch of old Samurai movies the past week or so because I was researching for a project I'm doing and this game just nails the the feel of those movies so well. The look alone is worth it for me. Great review as always. Bula from Fiji.
Have Game Pass and plan to play through this title this weekend. As always, great review and thanks!!
"Options are good, they don't harm you." I wish more players could understand this before posting. Thanks again ACG for a wonderful review!
are you seeing a disproportionate ammount of players who go around saying options are bad to have?
@@Yura-Sensei sometimes maybe on more niche games
@@Yura-Sensei Definitely whenever it comes to dubs, resolution options and controller support on PC
@@HeinSmit1 I have never seen anyone saying they dont want resolution, language options, or that they dont want controller support? Holy shit, what kind of gaming circles are you hanging around?
@@Yura-Sensei Yes, if I ask if a game is in English I get hounded sometimes.
Excellent review, thank you. Looking forward to playing this one!
Another great and insightful review. Thanks ACG!
These reviews continue to impress, thanks ACG
I rely on the page for its thoroughness. I subscribed to the page to hear about games I didn't know were happening.
I just got both.
Love your review of this one, quite mesmerizing & very cinematic!
Is this PS5 winner a scam? 🤔I almost contacted them! 😱
Aaaahhhhh, (sigh of relief!!!!)....
Ive been anticipating the arrival of this game SO MUCH!
Im reallyhappy to hear ur opinion on this dude!!
Gonna go play as soon as ive come around!!!
Definitely gonna pick this up because I need a nice short but quality title that I can enjoy and beat around 5 to 6 hours. Thanks for the review ACG
As usual, you are my most trusted reviewer. If you love great graphics and presentation with a good story and can forgive average gameplay, this is a buy.
Really liking the new layout for your recent reviews. I heard on the podcast that May was abit dry, maybe some more indie game reviews? Godlike Burger??
Im someone that likes deep combat systems and not to big on story but this is a game that I actually want to experience the story and atmosphere more and think how the combat scenarios are handled fit this game well. You really do feel like you're in a classic film and I'm enjoying it right now.
Good unbiased review man… you always nail it… this isn’t a AAA game, you need to sort of “filter” that… this game is amazing, I like it and I’m happy to see some reviewers are being fair to the fact that is not AAA games and it has its failures but shines in many other aspects!

Neighbors: 'Karak over there torturing somebody again... Must be a Thursday...'
Man this checks out as a comment
It's nice that you mentioned Pandemonium here. I figured nobody else really played that game.
awww, Pandemonium, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time!
Loved both of them back in the PS1 days
I've been loving this game, the artistic approach is kinda nostalgic and even more so with the old samurai style movie feel.
I'd be really into if they brought these still camera angles back with a hair of more depth. Imagine horror games with these angles and next gen graphics to invoke certain feelings. This approach to the game was perfect and you feel what they were going for.
Thank you bro
That's a good bunch of information 👍🏻
that's cool that it's flying wild hog, i didn't know that. as garish and over the top (in a good way lol) as some of the level and character design in the shadow warrior games was, you could see they were obviously guided by the whole samurai kind of visual aesthetic. will be interesting to them do just that straight up with out all the wackiness of shadow warrior
Thanks for the review as always, had my eye on this but was not sure of it as most gameplay shown was of the combat which didn't look too convincing. Played a little bit and looks like they added in an optional English voice option, I enabled it and thought the intro section as youngsters had some rough spots with the voice acting. Switched to Japanese and it was a bit too high pitched for my liking. After the intro chapter I switched over to Japanese again with subtitles as the English acting was a bit inconsistent. Guy will come wailing about his village then calmly as if it was a separate recording state he was from so and so before resuming the wailing tone.
So yeah I might not understand Japanese either but it does feel a lot more consistent and less jarring than the English. Pretty entertaining so far though, combat is pretty easy, I'd suggest anyone reading this to probably look into playing on hard as normal is pretty much a breeze if you nail the parry timing as well as baiting an enemy attacking you outside of their range
Great review piece. For what it’s worth, I got this for free just now as a PS Plus subscriber, and there IS an option at this point in time to use English dubbing.
Later edit (after completion): The game takes you on a journey to hell loaded with elements of Japanese mythology. I enjoyed every moment of it just to see what the Devs had to show next. There is a decided lack of enemy variety and encounter design in the latter chapters, but adjusting the difficulty allows for management of frustration. The game is more than the sum of its parts and for the asking price, fair.
@acg: the English language dub option is under the "Accessibility" menu.
This game caught my eye from the first. I was just waiting for your review to buy it (I never pre-order) and just did that. Looking forward to playing this. Thanks for all your hard work, Karak!
your gonna be Hella dissapointed
Love your reviews man most games I watch these before buying. I never even heard of this game. Looks absolutely fantastic definitely gonna buy it
I have to add on about a problem with the collectibles. Collectibles are a great feature in a game, but the main problem with them in Trek to Yomi, there is no chapter selection. This means if you miss 1 single collectible in the final chapter of the game you will have to play thorugh the game all over again just to get it. You will also have to get the others ones back as well. I think that this discourages a 100% in the game because of how it discourages you knowing that if you miss one, you have to start over if you mess up.
It definitely has a very unique look and feel to the graphics and game play. I love games with a good story and this one is interesting. I will have to check it.
Love it. Great content as always.
I have been waiting for this one, since ghost of tsushima isn't on pc....huge fan of kurosawa's work
Thank you man going to download this for Saturday
Another great review 👍🏻 I would love to see you cover Rouge Legacy 2. Silent Masterpiece imo. 👍🏻
This is a visual masterpiece. Thanks for the review ACG.
Thanks, one to add to the list! I really enjoy playing hard reset, couldn't really get into shadow warrior though for some reason, cool Devs though.
oOoh! first for the first time! ACG you’re the man!
I am literally trying my luck here lol I love your channel
Will be trying this out today!
I'm downloading it right now. can't wait to check it out this weekend.
How is it? Does the gameplay detract?
Woow pandemonium shoutout. That took me so long to find after i had forgotten the title from childhood
I feel like we have an over abundance of good to great games (but few excellent) and there is just not enough time or interest to play them all.. which is why I prioritize art style and story more than anything when deciding. While a game might be fun, if I can't relate or it's not very unique then the experience isn't as good. With that said, I am really interested in giving this a try.
I'll be checking it out. I think of it as if Onimusha took more influence from movies like Yojimbo.
@1:32 ah... Pandemonium! I loved that game! Good memories. Embracer group likes to remake older games, and now that they own crystal dynamic, I wonder if that's possible, but I also wonder if Crystal dynamic owns the rights or is it toys for Bob? Which means it would be up to Microsoft, assuming the Activision deal goes through.
Oh man, I've been waiting MONTHS for this thing!!!!!!!
Im playing this and Sifu at the moment, what a treat
Looks great, thanks for the review
I thought Ghosts of Tsushima was gonna be the definitive Kurosawa gaming experience, but it did it's own thing (in a good way). This game is what I initially thought Ghost was gonna be. From the black & white visuals, framing of scenes, and the dialogue/interaction of all characters. Playing this game should be a must for fans of classic Samurai cinema.
Great informative review
This game is truly an artistic achievement in video games. Absolutely stunning.
Bought it for 18 bucks on PSN. Can’t wait to dive in!
Presentation looks stunning and its scratching that itch im looking forward to playing it at some point but That all depends on when I finish off elden ring 😅
Really excited for this game. The art style looks so awesome
I haven't seen movies like this, but I bet subtitles could have been more like theirs, I can agree.
Style and art sure, but let me switch the colors on and HDR too, cuz idc, I wanna see I "all', colors, details, photorealism always, just have more options even if they go against your vision...
Wait.... Did you just say Myspace? Holy crap what a blast from the past that sent me on. Kinda fitting for an old style black and white artistic rendition of a new age 2D game. This game looks amazing by the way! Thanks for the review!
Def ordered the physical from special reserve. This game is gorgeous.
I love Flying Wild Hog studio. Of all the games I've played from them, they never disappoint. Love the Shadow Warrior games and even really enjoyed Hard Reset. Considering Embracer is moving into AAA development, I wouldn't be surprised if Flying Wild Hog gets promoted from a AA studio.
this game will dissapoint repetitive as hell and unbalanced in certain area's.
9:54 that banner in the fore ground ... a homage to Kurosawa's Seven Samurai?
7:22
Bloody hell! Almost down to his ankles!
How does he hide it when he's standing up?
Finally, after all these years, it's Karateka 2!
Just been playing this on gamepass absolutely amazing looking and feeling game.
I am all about this. Love the look and the visuals. Happy its on game pass. Ty for the review. Always great.....
I really want to see a modern rpg with this kind of aesthetic in color.
After the intro i already knew this was my kind of game. Last game that made me feel like that was Naritaboy... But i don't know if it will stay fun after completing it
Kurosawa meets Onimisha…now I really want that movie
I like the game so far. However, as the battles become more intricate with multiple enemies popping in and out, the controls are not fluid and not responsive. There seems to be some cheap shots from the enemies that can yield a lot of damage, creating a sense of the mechanics not being fairly balanced.
Is this PS5 winner a scam? 🤔I almost contacted them! 😱
Devolver is easily my #1 publisher right now. Has been for a while. Another clear winner right here.
Thank you for this review
Cheers sweaty guy. Will definitely pick this up at some point.
Dude Pandemonium was my jam on the PS1 before other games came out I always say could you imagine how amazing that game would look with modern day graphics & HD I don't know why they don't just do it nothing else like that exists but I say the same about gladetorial combat games.
It was so good. So god damned good
I enjoyed the review and will definitely be sharing this on MySpace😅
Geocities
I'm such a huge fan of feudal Japan, sadly I don't have enough money to actually get the game right now so maybe I'll wait for the summer sales. Good review as always.
Its free on gamepass, who no need to buy bro :)
Fun fact: Onimusha was originally planned as a Resident Evil spin-off called Sengoku Biohazard
I love your channel!!!!
Great review as always. I will be streaming this game for sure. Thanks ACG!
Tip of the hat for the comedic censor bar, well done sir.
The thing about native languages is that they are a marvellous thing when watching films or series, but if it’s a game, it can be difficult, sometimes, to focus on the subtitles and what’s happening around you at the same time, so I often use dubs.
Edit: I really wanted to play Ghost of Tsushima in Japanese, but it proved too difficult.
Same here, the intro has you running around feeling rushed, but doing that with switching perspectives and reading subtitles is a bit disorientating. After the intro things slow down a bit so can go through the subtitles a little more comfortably (the English voice acting is a bit rough as the tone shifts a lot in a sentence)
@@HeinSmit1 it was there and then that I restarted the game and changed to dub.
i would say it’s more accurate to call it a 2.5d game (small amount games use this method, but still some)
Another great game that I'm looking forward to play. The review just further convince me about this game. Thanks.
