Trek to Yomi - 5/10 GS, 72 MC

Dang.. not too good. Wasn't this supposed to be a Game Pass darling?

Thoughts, SW? Will you be checking out Trek to Yomi?

GamePass darling?😂 Gamepass users get this flop as part of the deal while others pay full price.🤣

Regardless of the Gamespot score still looks good to me?

Damn... bordering on days gone a PlayStation AAA console exclusive score

Do people still take metacritic seriously.

Wasn’t really a game that I was looking forward to myself so whatever. See that it’s on Game Pass though so I might at least check it out there.

From SkillUp's review, it seems this game's devs dedicated the vast majority of their efforts towards the visual and sound aspects of this game... ...and very little towards gameplay, hence the score.

And for some people that might just be enough, while others might put off by this singular focus on the visual audio experience. Very much a YMMV game.

So wait Flying Wild Hog released two games in the span of a few months

One supports widescreen but no ultrawide

And the other supports ultrawide but no widescreen

I'm in awe

Same, I plan on trying it out.

That's one of the wonderful things about Game Pass; I can afford to try alleged (emphasis on the alleged) mediocre games, might find out they actually quite fun.

Wouldn't be the first time I've loved a low-scoring game from here.

An indie game is a "game pass darling"? You cows sure are reaching.

Trek to Yomi is based on Akira Kurosawa's work and this game is meant to take inspiration much similar to Ghost of Tsushima. That said, I didn't know it was going to be on GP and I had plans to purchase the game on Steam since its 10% off (as of now at the time of writing this) so guess I'll save $17 and play it through GP since I'm a fan of Akira Kurosawa and his legendary films age so incredibly well too. If you like Akira Kurosawa, then chances are you'll enjoy Trek to Yomi.

That's a shame, I was hoping this would be good but too bad it seems shallow

@davillain: Let us know how you enjoy it after playing it

I don't know if it was here or somewhere else but I saw some xbox fanboys claiming this was going to be Xbox's Ghost of Tsushima. Fanboys are dumb.

Wow, cows paying full price for this? Thanks Sony, milk us more.

Days Gone was still rated higher then most Xbox exclusives 😆

@silentchief:

It got a 5 out of 10......you are gonna have to up your game kid 🤣

Wouldn't need too. If we are using GS scores PS has several 10 out 10 exclusives while the Xbox has none! 🤣🤣

@silentchief:

But we are talking about days gone and your lies about it scoring better than most Xbox games...bu bu bu 10 out of 10's

Xbox studios deathloop one of them?🤣

Up your game kid

More like 5:10 to Yomi a-yuk-yuk-yuk

Here it is:

Amazing that a game would be built around anything other than gameplay first... Was looking forward to this one, but my excitement was built upon a great gameplay experience in psudo 2d. This doesn't appear to be it...

Everything else doesn't matter. Setting, graphics, faithfulness to old samurai films etc... All fluff. That stuff is entirely weightless.

... Also, "Gamepass darling?" lol.... Huh?

No that's what you were talking about to act like ( Days Gone)was your average PS exclusive when in fact it's one of the lowest rated ones. PS exclusives are light years ahead of Xbox right now. MS had nothing to do with Deathloop as they bought them after the game was developed.😆😆

It will be a miracle if MS doesn't screw up Bethesda like they have nearly every other studio they formed or acquired.

Truth hurts sorry buddy.

LMAO gamepass darling? I have tweets on my timeline from cows that are bitching about "I support devs!!" and paid full price for this game LOL

An okay MetaCritic score, worth trying since it's included in Game Pass.

Kidsmoove?

That's what we're going with, kidsmoove?

@silentchief:

"Ps exclusives are light years ahead of Xbox right now"

HFW and GT7 8 out of 10

Halo infinite and FH5 9 out of 10

But hey,days gone scores higher than any Xbox exclusive eh 🤣

Uppeth your gameth kid

@SolidGame_basic: lmao at gp darling. I guess every game is a gp darling now right?

It's wierd though, I thought this game released months ago.

Wow yikes. great job to the devs and publishers getting free money from xbox. Not many buying this when they see the score.

And this is where Gamepass helps devs. No way I’d buy this game…likely I’d never hear about it. Gp will give the devs greater exposure and a much bigger player base than if they went down the old fashioned route of developing, promoting and distributing.

Downloading now.

@sealionact: I’m pretty sure the Devs would rather you buy the actual game

@SolidGame_basic: So what’s stopping me? The quality of the game.

Gamer sees it on gp, tries it, doesn’t like it, doesn’t buy it….Gamer happy, dev still gets some money from gp, dev happy.

If it weren’t on gp, I wouldn’t have tried it…dev gets no money. Gamer happy, dev sad.

Great game? Try it on gp, buy it, gamer and dev happy.

Alternative? Dev hypes poor game not on gp, gamer buys game, gamer sad, dev happy. See bf2042.

Morale? Great games do better financially, and gp makes gamers happy.

And what if you played it, finished it and done? Dev gets much less money than they would've if you bought it and enjoyed it 😎

@SolidGame_basic: Like I said, if it were a great game I’d buy it. For me to buy it, a game needs replay value. Off the top of my head I’ve bought around a dozen games after playing them on gp. Games I would never have bought otherwise.

Either way, if I had played it, finished it and done….Gamer happy. That’s my only concern, and as a gamer it should be yours too.

Dang that’s sad, and to think lems hyped this game to be the Ghost of Tsushima killer.

Cows goin graspin. lol :P

@daredevils2k: Lems hyped this as the Ghost of Tsushima killer? Which lems?

Also…gamepass darling? 😂😂😂

Take a break @solidgame_basic 😂

Doesn't make him less of a dumb fanboy.

Only played for 2 hours. In a way, this game feels like I'm playing Ghost of Tsushima DLC in a sense without the open-world segment. If you like Ghost of Tsushima and happen to be a fan of Akira Kurosawa old fashion samurai stuff, chances you will enjoy playing Trek of Yomi. I really don't know how many Kurosawa fans we have in SW so I can see why this game is getting negative reviews which is a shame. I think the game is great but without its faults.

I saw more promotions from PS Twitter than anyone else.

I was kind of tempted in picking up the game but might wait for a price drop

Sure, but I doubt people take anything he says as gospel.

Just remember when you use gamespot reviews remember how many 10's Xbox has...... 0 🤣🤣🤣.

Also don't Forget Returnal and Ratchet and Clank 9 out of 10.

Remember this was the site that was offended the Days Gone protagonist slapped his wife on the ass🤣

Stop using the GS as your soul review source. So I'll direct your cringe slogan back to you

Up your game kid.

I wasn't into the look of it from the beginning, but it appears it was a little overhyped. 72 overall actually isn't that bad though.

Darn, I'm disappointed by what I've been seeing. I even have Gamepass for a few more weeks but I think I'll just let it lapse and not even try the game. I've got better games to put my time into.

I'm having fun with the game, but it is very simplistic. I think the 5 score seems fair, assuming the later chapters don't start going nuts with enemies or something to liven it up.

Which is odd considering the game is mostly being played by Xbox fans.

@davillain: Another Kurosawa fan here. I was definitely interested in this game because of the Kurosawa style. But how well does it actually play?

I'll probably give it a go as it's on gamepass not expecting anything ground breaking but might be a good gamepass game.

It plays like any side scroller but the combat can be hard to learn during a few plays but easy to master once you know what you are doing. Kinda blends it with Ghost of Tsushima & the old-school Prince of Persia so this game is really solid.

@x_hedon: I guess Sony fannies don't like games.🤷🏽‍♂️
