Sumatra: Fate of Yandi offers good point-and-click puzzles, but I found the tonal shift in its tale unappealing. I think the game isn’t long enough to be thought-provoking in the way intended.

Critic reviews
- Evoking the feel of classic Sierra games but without their sudden deaths and dead ends, Sumatra: Fate of Yandi is a fun, enjoyable tale of survival in a lush rainforest, only marginally brought down by a weak ending.
- 8.0Sumatra employs the same 1990’s point and click art style you might expect from a Sierra Entertainment or LucasArts game; it works along similar colour palette and character design lines. In fact, the design is excellent throughout, especially in the mix of jungle wildlife that is on display. It’s helped that the design team have perfectly mixed little cutscenes with the action. The sound design is also borrowed from yesteryear, full of retro effects and a decent soundtrack.
