    Trek to Yomi is a love letter to classic Japanese cinema. Fans of the genre will be fully immersed and giddy about being able to experience something like this, and it is something to behold visually even for those who don’t come with prior knowledge. Unfortunately, those visuals are best experienced on systems other than the Nintendo Switch, which only makes the monotonous gameplay more evident. Incredible storytelling, though cliché, boosts Trek to Yomi towards something worth experiencing, especially when the game can be beaten in an afternoon.

    Trek to Yomi blends a lot of fun gameplay with a truly stunning approach to design and a tragically haunting story. Combined, this makes for an addictive game that lingers with you long after you’ve completed it.

    Trek to Yomi

    Este videojuego muestra un apartado artístico y sonoro sumamente hermoso. Lamentablemente es en sus demás apartados dónde flaquea, con una historia que no logra ser memorable y una jugabilidad a la que le a faltado pulimiento.

    Showed some potentials

    Trek to Yomi is one of those games that caught my attention this year. The way it was presented actually looks so incredible to me: just pure black and white samurai game. This game showed a lot of potential in many different ways. The graphics actually look so decent, especially the cinematography. I honestly had a high expectations for this game since I've got to play Japanese-like games like Ghost of Tsushima and Sekiro. This one is different. The story is somewhat mediocre, the prologue seems promising and eventually turned into a horror-like one with creepy Japanese folk-lore references behind it. The gameplay seems fine and needs a lot of polishing. The fighting mechanics are so stiff and lacking with a feeling of satisfaction. I love slashing enemies with fashion. The parry system doesn't actually work at times. Overall, this game still needs to be developed further though I can see that it showed a lot of potential. **VISUALS** _Artistry: 10/12_ _Technical Merit: 7/8_ **SOUND DESIGN** _Music: 12/12_ _Sound Effects & Vocals: 6/8_ **INTERACTION** _Control & Interface: 3/8_ _Player Agency: 5/8_ _Accessibility: 3/4_ **MECHANICS** _Feedback & Fun: 5/10_ _Depth: 3/5_ _Variety: 3/5_ **CHARACTER** _Narrative: 7/8_ _Heart: 4/6_ _Originality: 4/6_
