  • Trek to Yomi reviewed by Travis Northup on PC, also available on Xbox and PlayStation.
    Trek to Yomi is a brief but captivating journey that's like playing through a monochromatic Japanese movie, and that excellent presentation is enough to carry it even though it falls short in most other respects, including combat that is one-note and easily mastered.

  • @TheAllanmeadows
    @TheAllanmeadows 2 роки тому +42

    My biggest issue with this game is the fact that Devolver's previous games, particularly Absolver and Sifu, had absolutely precise controls and smooth animations. In a game centred around combat this is essential, but in Yomi it is easily the weakest aspect. The game looks amazing, no doubt, but sadly doesn't play as well.

      @@Gamer-cz8mo whatever. Point is the game is quite underwhelming. If you want smooth combat you can play Sifu, or to a lesser extent Absolver. If you want amazingly deep sword combat AND the Kurosawa inspired visuals, then you've got Ghost of Tsushima. It's more expensive, but is also 1,000% more game.

    Reviewer totally missed the point of the stylistic approach the design of the game is putting across that makes the combat being repetitive a throwback to 80’s/90’s side scrollers, that’s IGN for you.

    Let's appreciate IGN for this wonderful review 7/10
    Fortnite 9.6/10 😑

      Giant map with tons of variations, great crossovers, everything is destructible, great controls, an innovative building mechanic and tons of modes. Should’ve been 10/10

      Fortnite is one of the most played games worldwide, don't personally play it but any game that has that many players is probably worth a 9
