  In the end, Yuki is a nice bullet hell shooter for VR. The premise helps the campaign mode make sense, and the use of VR works quite well despite being an on-rails experience. The roguelike nature might throw off some players, especially since some of that genre's more recognizable features seem absent, and the amount of repetition needed to reach the game's real ending might not be for everyone. Shooter fans who don't mind a more playful experience will really enjoy Yuki.

  Yuki is fun, looks terrific, and gives a decent approximation of what it would be like to spend a day inside a Japanese TATE arcade cabinet.

  AVORE has knocked it out of the park again with YUKI Their titles have quickly become the only reason to break out the VR and its still astonishing that a team so small can produce such great titles. The only criticism would be a difficulty spike that can be off-putting however if prepared and willing to immerse yourself as much as a VR game would expect, a fantastic figure-based time will be found here.

  Finally, the main issue that I have with YUKI is that I want more! By this, I mean that there's only really 1 mode that you re-play from the beginning whenever you run out of health which can get repetitive quite quickly despite the randomization involved. On the plus side, you'll unlock different suits which double as a difficulty select as each one has advantages and disadvantages. Anyway, I wish there were more modes and optional challenges to help extend YUKI's replay value. The only other problem is that sometimes, the current situation can feel unfair. For example, you just depleted your shield but you now have to navigate through a maze-like structure while enemies blast you from all directions. These moments are rare but they feel more like bad luck than rewarding challenges to overcome.

  Vorm Spielen von Yuki wusste ich gar nicht, dass ich so gute Reflexe besitze: Das Konzept der räumlichen Kugelhölle passt einfach ideal zu VR – und Arvore hat einen erstaunlich mitreißenden Weg gefunden, es umzusetzen! Stilvolles Ausweichen, Abtauchen und Zielen direkt mit den Bewegungscontrollern geht hier derart schnell und präzise von der Hand, dass selbst hunderte Projektile gleichzeitig mich irgendwann nicht mehr schocken konnten.
