As a huge fan of Akira Kurosawa's films, Ghost of Tsushima and Limbo, Trek to Yomi is right up my alley. The game is gorgeous to look at and it's fun to play. It lasts around 5-6 hours and the price point is reasonable given its length. I've had my eye on Trek to Yomi ever since it was first announced. The wait was definitely worth it. Otherwise, thanks once again Karak for another honest, unbiased and detailed review! I really appreciate the hard work!

I have to add on about a problem with the collectibles. Collectibles are a great feature in a game, but the main problem with them in Trek to Yomi, there is no chapter selection. This means if you miss 1 single collectible in the final chapter of the game you will have to play thorugh the game all over again just to get it. You will also have to get the others ones back as well. I think that this discourages a 100% in the game because of how it discourages you knowing that if you miss one, you have to start over if you mess up.

I'm a huge fan of Kurosawa and was actually watching a bunch of old Samurai movies the past week or so because I was researching for a project I'm doing and this game just nails the the feel of those movies so well. The look alone is worth it for me. Great review as always. Bula from Fiji.

Later edit (after completion): The game takes you on a journey to hell loaded with elements of Japanese mythology. I enjoyed every moment of it just to see what the Devs had to show next. There is a decided lack of enemy variety and encounter design in the latter chapters, but adjusting the difficulty allows for management of frustration. The game is more than the sum of its parts and for the asking price, fair. @acg: the English language dub option is under the "Accessibility" menu. This game caught my eye from the first. I was just waiting for your review to buy it (I never pre-order) and just did that. Looking forward to playing this. Thanks for all your hard work, Karak!

Thanks for the review as always, had my eye on this but was not sure of it as most gameplay shown was of the combat which didn't look too convincing. Played a little bit and looks like they added in an optional English voice option, I enabled it and thought the intro section as youngsters had some rough spots with the voice acting. Switched to Japanese and it was a bit too high pitched for my liking. After the intro chapter I switched over to Japanese again with subtitles as the English acting was a bit inconsistent. Guy will come wailing about his village then calmly as if it was a separate recording state he was from so and so before resuming the wailing tone. So yeah I might not understand Japanese either but it does feel a lot more consistent and less jarring than the English. Pretty entertaining so far though, combat is pretty easy, I'd suggest anyone reading this to probably look into playing on hard as normal is pretty much a breeze if you nail the parry timing as well as baiting an enemy attacking you outside of their range

I like the game so far. However, as the battles become more intricate with multiple enemies popping in and out, the controls are not fluid and not responsive. There seems to be some cheap shots from the enemies that can yield a lot of damage, creating a sense of the mechanics not being fairly balanced.

Can i give you some feedback from a typographical information pro perspective? 1. Caps are harder to read than small letters and when letters exceeds a certain size relative to the background they become more complicated to interpret on the fly . 2 Humans looking at a rectangular surface have like a centered oval perception area. Corned info is much less effective and require a move from main to supportive narrative and therefore provide a conflict. 3. If 1 and 2 don't apply there's a need for increased display time. Other than that, loving your work :D

This approach to the game was perfect and you feel what they were going for.
