August 8, 2023 - Day 220 - NewPlay Review
Total NewPlays: 240

Game: Trek to Yomi

Platform: Steam
Release Date: May 5, 2022
Library Date: Aug 4, 2023
Unplayed: 4d
Playtime: 29m

Trek to Yomi is a side-scrolling action game, where you play as a samurai set on vengeance.

Two days in a row, two sword-based action games, and they could not be more different.

There is an elegance to a katana that's just not there with a broadsword, and comparing these two games side by side is eye-opening.

The look of Trek to Yomi took me by surprise. It's set in black and white, as if it was a Kurosawa film (with film effects and everything). While it's technically side-scrolling, the opening tutorial of the game has you walking towards and away from the camera in the Z-axis as well, giving the game a beautiful sense of three dimensions.

The sound is lush and gorgeous, and the controls are intuitive. There aren't a dozen different combinations to remember, just a few, which makes the swordplay come to life. I very quickly found myself instinctively weaving and blocking, rotating to face another enemy and seeing him off.

I'd seen Trek to Yomi mentioned a few times since it was released, but the idea of playing a game in black and white as an Edo period samurai didn't grab me at all.

Yet as soon as I'm finished writing this review, I'm going back to play some more.

Trek to Yomi is:

5: Excellent

Believe it or not, I actually ended up submitting a game to the : njamster.itch.io/gravathon

It's an / / , only this time you don't control a boring plumber or edgy hedgehog, no, no, but gravity itself!

Since I spent – as so often – WAY too much time looking for an idea and did pretty much all the work today, it's a bit rough around the edges, but I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback anyways!

Far: Changing Tides
Far – „weit“. Aber wie weit wird ein simpler und eher langsamer Sidescroller mich mitnehmen können? Grade, wenn ich im ersten Teil des Spiels vor allem daran arbeite, dass ich das Segel im richtigen Winkel in den Wind halte oder weiteren Brennstoff für meine Dampfmaschine sammele - klingt eher repetitiv und langweilig? Mag sein, aber da

My for

1. Prime: Remastered
A . Coining that term.

2. : Dread
The surprise new Metroid I needed. Controls like a dream.

3. The Legend of : Link's Awakening
Remake of a classic with adorable aesthetic

4. Super Odyssey
Amazing gameplay/nostalgia. Too many moons, & no overworld.

5.
Amazing new experiment but disappointing as a Zelda game.
