While it could stand to be longer, if only to deliver more when it come to some of its more ambitious elements, Trek to Yomi is an amazing action game that makes terrific use of its cinematic presentation, using Kurosawa vibes to impact both the gameplay and visuals in clever ways. Intense swordfights are backed up by amazing visual flourishes, while a stark black and white world finds clever ways to highlight its more interesting aspects and pathways.
PS Blog: "Today we’re happy to reveal the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for June. The Monthly Games lineup of NBA 2K23, Jurassic World Evolution 2 and Trek to Yomi will be available to PlayStation Plus members on Tuesday, June 6 until Monday, July 3."
This month is pretty lacking. I'll try Trek to Yomi and start a park in Jurassic World Evolution 2 . But NBA 2k23 is not for me unfortunately.
Same - I'm not into NBA in the slightest, but I get that many others are. I guess it's a matter of preference whether this is a good month or not. I'll check out the other games, as I know nothing about them. Might surprise me!
My problem with games like NBA is that I would expect people that would play it mostly have already owned it. It's not like there are hundreds of basketball options so you might have missed it. I know some people might download it, but it's it a significant number?
I'm quite happy w Jurassic World Evolution 2. Frontier is a great developer w Planet Coaster, Planet Zoo and I picked up Jurassic World Evolution 1 last year for cheap and was enjoying.
So okay, you're not into sims, it doesn't mean it's not a good score for the service. I'm not into basketball, but can acknowledge 2k23 is a good score for the service too. Not everything is going to cater to my specific tastes, but I'm glad that they're not just tossing cheapo crap titles on here just as filler like some other services.
I've heard some good things about Trek to Yomi.
I nearly bought jurrasic Park a couple times but never pulled the trigger.
Yomi is great.
Me saying it's lacking doesn't mean it sucks. It just means its lacking when compared to other months thats all.
All the rumors and leaks get you excited what the games can be then they give you this pile of rubbish.. like what is this especially for June
U can get Alan wake remake on sale right now dirt cheap on psn. I got the physical off Amazon a month ago for like 13
Seriously, I haven't a slight interest in all 3 games. Basketball in particular isn't popular outside of the USA.
Agreed on the basketball front.
Never really heard or talked about in the UK or anywhere else I’ve travelled to in my time aside from the US.
Basketball was huge in the UK in the 90’s. We also had great basketball video games that sold very well annually just like fifa. But it did just seem to disappear overnight almost.
Basketball is still a huge sport in many countries in Europe though.
Actually a guy from Greece won 2 straight NBA league MVPs and this year a guy from Slovenia and another from Serbia have been setting the league on fire. Not to mention Spain won the FIBA tournament over Argentina in 2019. In fact, the US is struggling to keep up with all the world talent in basketball at the moment.
@MaximusPrime_ Basketball is big outside of the US. It’s the #1 sport in China. You must be from the UK. Lol Basketball is the only four major sport in the US that is truly global. Baseball is a little bit, but not as much as the NBA.
I just finished looking at the video from PlayStation Access, I totally forgot about Trek To Yomi. I believe it was in a Xbox show when it was revealed and I thought it looked great. Glad to know I can finally play it, and if it’s as good as I hope I will purchase it.
The rest I’ll add just because.
Have you ever wanted to experience the life of a samurai? Now you can, thanks to Trek to Yomi finally releasing on the Nintendo Switch. Check out Jason Capp's Switch review for more.
I really liked this game until in the later levels they just put gun guys behind everyone else and shot the crap out of you, felt cheap and nasty, because it is.
WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "It’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?"
