Trek to Yomi | PS4, PS5

Trek to Yomi is an ultra-stylised cinematic action-adventure that follows an enthralling story of Hiroki during his fall against the forces of evil. Experience his heroic return to make good on his failed promise to save the people he swore to protect. As a vow to his dying Master, the young swordsman is sworn to protect his town and the people he loves against all threats. Faced with tragedy and bound to duty, the lone samurai must voyage beyond life and death to confront himself and decide his path forward.

Meh .
Trek to yomi is interesting though.

 

[Mossybrew]

What's the JP game all about?

 

[Kilau]

Meh .
Trek to yomi is interesting though.

Same.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Meh

 

[NickFire]

I'll be downloading 2k23 since I did not buy this year. A little shortsighted on 2k's part waiting until finals will be in full swing. Guessing that one month ago would have given them a huge surge in packs that I bet would have outperformed sales of the game with playoffs going on.

 

[engstra]

Don't really care about 2K but Jurassic Park and Trek to Yomi are pretty decent additions

 

[bender]

Finished Yomi on Game Pass, it's okay.

 

[Aenima]

The only time i play NBA games is when they drop on PS+. Trek to Yomi seems nice too from previous stuff i saw from the game. Overal not too bad of a month for me, but nothing i was really craving to play too.

 

[ElCasual]

Zzzzzzzz

 

[tmlDan]

What's the JP game all about?

Its like Zoo Tycoon and Roller Coaster Tycoon, its a park game. I play it on PC, it's quite fun.

Not sure how it plays on console though

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Will check out Yomi at some point but otherwise a dull month.

 

[Spyxos]

Nothing for me there.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Meh .
Trek to yomi is interesting though.

Jurassic World is a fantastic "chill game."

Nice QoL features as well so you don't need to babysit.

 

[MikeM]

Banger month for me. And shits all over Xbox's offerings.

I know people like to harp on "pay for online" but Sony does deliver some damn good value for that $60.

 

[Amory]

 

[Ansphn]

Lets be honest..This blows Games with gold of the water..

 

[reksveks]

Just don't expect good combat out of Yomi and you will enjoy it

 

[Lokaum D+]

Meh

 

[feynoob]

Lets be honest..This blows Games with gold of the water..

Even an old hooker blows that thing.

 

[TheMan]

Does NBA get added every year now?

 

[SEGA_2012]

Nothing for me.

I think that game is better on pc.
I can't play it on consoles very well.

 

[Pelao]

Looks like I'll keep putting off my PS Plus renewal. I've already unlocked everything in the base game of Jurassic World Evolution 2. I hope they at least do some good DLC deals.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I think that game is better on pc.
I can't play it on consoles very well.

Why is that? If it's the controls, you can use M/KB on the consoles with the game just like the PC.

Sit back and relax on the couch, listen to the great nostalgic music and sounds, and chilllllll.

 

[Robins]

I massively enjoyed the 1st JP game. Would recommend if you like zoo tycoon style games.

Not a bad month in my opinion

 

[Nautilus]

Thank god its a weak month. I have too much stuff to play already.

 

[Vick]

Its like Zoo Tycoon and Roller Coaster Tycoon, its a park game. I play it on PC, it's quite fun.

Not sure how it plays on console though

Plays great on PS5 as well.
And the game is an entirely different beast compared to D1.

PC is a must for some Mods, however they break after every update and updates are extremely frequent so..

 

[Fbh]

Not every month can be great.
Hopefully the extra lineup for june is better.

 

[NickFire]

Does NBA get added every year now?

It would make a lot of sense considering how much revenue they generate from microtransactions.

 

[Trogdor1123]

How is Jurassic Park?

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Yuck.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Lets be honest..This blows Games with gold of the water..

That's certainly true. When the bar is on the ground though...

 

[mckmas8808]

Finished Yomi on Game Pass, it's okay.

On the Metacritic scale, would number would you give it out of 1 - 100?

 

[Mr Moose]

Not too bad, but wtf is Jurassic World Evolution 2?

Its like Zoo Tycoon and Roller Coaster Tycoon, its a park game. I play it on PC, it's quite fun.

Not sure how it plays on console though

Oh, I might give it a try. I like those kind of games.

 

[Thief1987]

I know that Trek to Yomi got pretty mid reviews but i like how it looks visually, so definitely interested to try it.

 

[bender]

On the Metacritic scale, would number would you give it out of 1 - 100?

Most reviewers don't use the full 10 or 100 point scale. I'd guess most sites reviewed in 7-8 or 70-85. I'd say it is a middling title so 5-6 or 50-65.

The visuals are the biggest draw.

JEEZ.....Ugh.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Meh indeed

 

[bender]

JEEZ.....Ugh.

I'd rate most games in the 60% range, honestly. Not great, not terrible. I'm playing Planet of Lana right now and it fits that bill. It's a way more colorful Limbo (duh) or Inside.

 

[Dick Jones]

Even an old hooker blows that thing.

Wayne Rooney will remember that

You'd give Planet of Lana and Limbo a 60% or something too?

 

[bender]

You'd give Planet of Lana and Limbo a 60% or something too?

I'd probably be a little more favorable on Limbo since it reignited the Fade to Black trend. Lana is probably more mechanically sound but neither are all that interesting or worth going back to once you've finished them once. Inside is the most interesting of the three, solely for the twist at the end. I much prefer games that are toys that you want to revisit and this type of game is more style than substance which is also how I'd describe Yomi.

 

[MaKTaiL]

Trek to Yomi is amazing. The rest is meh.

 

[Kerotan]

Thank god no games for me. Hopefully ps extra and premium is quite also. Backlog will shrink.

Okay thanks. So I can see you are harder on these types of games then I am. So it wouldn't surprise me if Trek to Yomi got an 80% or so score from me based on what you'd give it.

 

[CrankyJay™]

My 7 year old will be pretty jazzed about the Jurassic World game.

 

[acidagfc]

Ew.

 

[Sub_Level]

What is nba 2k about? Do I have to play '22 to understand the story?

 

[Captain Toad]

What's the JP game all about?

I'm guessing dinosaurs.

Not amazing, but for Premium, it's not bad.
