Critic Reviews
NintendoWorldReport
By Steven GreenFans 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.
Nintendo Blast
By Davi SousaTrek to Yomi is a solid product set in feudal Japan, faithfully portraying the Bushido lifestyle and some more general themes such as grief, the consequences of a wrong decision and the complex choice between love, duty and revenge. The title by Leonard Menchiari and Flying Wild Hog may not be such a rich experience in terms of gameplay, but embarking on this cinematic and historical journey filled with content about Japanese mythology pays off — and a lot — the few hours invested.
Pure Nintendo
By Kirstie SummersAn intensely cinematic game, Trek to Yomi enhances the action-platformer genre with a rich story and beautiful design that leaves a lasting impression.
WayTooManyGames
By Oliver ShelldingIt’s a shame that, for whatever reason, screenshots have been disabled on the Nintendo Switch, because I would love to show firsthand that there is little difference between the Xbox and handheld versions. Still, it overall didn’t affect my play, and the end result is still the same: a battlefield soaked in blood, a boy fulfills his debt, and the player is left torn between relief and unease. Was this truly the only path to redemption? Or was the loss worth the price of revenge?
Nindie Spotlight
By Justin NationDespite its action mostly being on the middling side, the game’s artistic style and story make it a compelling experience
