Featuring a unique blend of horror and a charming, chibi-like art style, Yomawari: The Long Night Collection is a decent two-game bundle that fans of the genre will enjoy. The monsters you encounter on your journey will scare the hell out of you. Having said that, the trial and error elements hinder the experience, as does the general scare factor once you get into the second game.
Jamie Ward · Apr 09, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewYomawari: The Long Night Collection is one of the best horror experiences you’ll find on the Nintendo Switch, even though its cutesy looks might indicate otherwise. I tried to be as vague as possible with the story and any other plot details, as the fact I had little to no idea of what to expect made the game even more memorable for me. Bear in mind the fact that this is essentially a collection of two Vita titles, therefore not being the most impressive technical achievements you’ll see on your Switch, but playing those two games on your TV with the lights out was a great experience. It’s not often that I recommend playing a Switch game on docked mode, but Yomawari: The Long Night Collection is an exception.
Leo Faria · Nov 18, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewBoth Night Alone and Midnight Shadows offer a survival horror experience built more on the management of building dread and approaching threats, although both do occasionally indulge in cheap (yet effective) jump scares and uses of gore. However, for all its potency, Yomawari: The Long Night Collection’s design too often boils down to a repetitive cycle of evasion and exploration, and with a difficulty that’s too high for a game built on obtuse layouts and one-shot kills, it can quickly become an exercise in both fear and frustration.
Dom Reseigh-Lincoln · Oct 26, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewDemons may be king (or Overlord) when it comes to Nippon Ichi Software in most cases, but those looking to drum up some scares this Halloween should most definitely turn their attention to Yomawari: The Long Night Collection. The night may be scary, but there’s never been a better time to face your fears than now (and have fun while doing it)!
Kenny McKee · Oct 23, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewThey say never to judge a book by its cover and with Yomawari: The Long Night Collection that’s certainly the case. At first glance you might expect something much more family friendly, but will instantly be welcomed by a sinister set of events. Behind the cuteness of the main protagonists are a pair of creepy games filled with grotesque and downright strange monsters.
Casey Gibson · Oct 23, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewThe Yomawari: Long Night Collection represents great value with its two-games-in-one package. Despite both games being quite short they represent the horror genre like no other. The tension is often palpable, and feeling of fear while out on the streets is almost constant. The audio may appear to be basic, but it does a stellar job of immersion with small sounds helping to heighten the paranoia that something could be lurking around the corner.
Neil Flynn · Jul 16, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewDespite creating a unique horror ambience thanks to an outstanding hand-drawn presentation, Yomawari: The Long Night Collection creates a ‘hide-and-seek’ gameplay loop in which the tension goes away due to the cheap jump scares and unfair repetition.
Jhonatan Carneiro · Mar 01, 2019 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewIn October, a month of ghosts and goblins, The Long Night Collection makes a suitably spooky debut. Its gameplay lacks depth and it fails to deliver the kind of breathless survival experience of which it's capable, but its meaningful stories, haunting environments, and ravishing art help moderate those drawbacks. Horror fans looking to embrace the darkness this Hallows' Eve, check this one out. All others: consider waiting for a price cut.
Evan Norris · Oct 23, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewYomawari: The Long Night Collection é uma óptima colecção de jogos de terror, ideal para quem quiser apanhar alguns sustos e ter uma experiência diferente do habitual. Além da versão eShop, está também disponível em formato físico para os amantes do coleccionismo. Podem ser um pouco curtos e talvez seja fácil de se perder durante as dez horas de jogo, mas é uma muito boa opção para a Nintendo Switch num género cada vez mais representado na plataforma.
Pedro Mesquita · Nov 07, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchLa collection arriva su Nintendo Switch senza ritoccare i titoli contenuti, ma ottimizzandoli al meglio per la console Nintendo, anche con un sistema di vibrazioni intelligenti per la "barra dell'ansia" delle protagoniste. Date una possibilità all'opera di Yu Mizokami, perché ne vale la pena.
