Dec. 2024

Unironically best game I've played this year, and the IV update has doubled down on my belief of that. This game is beautiful. The narrative has helped me reflect on my self and my own downfalls in self critique and hating the world around me. This game is important and one I can easily recommend to anyone.

Dec. 2024

as of today the giant 1.5 (IV) update came out, and it is a massive improvement to just about everything that was wrong with the game initially. the main giant improvement is the battle system: battles are now closer to a traditional turn-based system and very fast paced. load times have been cut down completely. the game has still retained its personality while adding huge amounts of new content and mechanics. if you either didn't like the game in its original state or were on the fence about it, now is a perfect time to go back in and play it with an open mind. there is enough new content that it is basically an entirely new experience, even if you have seen or played it all before. i believe that the allansons have finally reached their final vision for the game, and i am incredibly glad that they stuck with it this long instead of giving up after the initial negative response.

April 2024

honestly i have so much respect for these devs for not giving up on this game through personal tragedies and years of criticism, and not only improving on it, keeping the original playable. It is incredibly admirable and even if I.V comes out and is underwhelming I will have a deep respect for these devs for even trying.

April 2024

On April 4th, 2023, I started a journey. Get YIIK hours, in YIIK. A joke, really. But now here I am, standing on the precipice of eternity. Knowing, I will never have to open this game, ever again. I'm free. So now on April 4th, 2024, I am done. This is a game you must play to judge it. Simply watching a play through isn't enough. Hearing about it isn't enough. To understand how truly awful YIIK is, you must play it. Sit through every line of monologue without having someone commentate over it. Play every repetitive battle, over and over. Let the crow choose your levels for the fiftieth time because you couldn't be bothered after the tenth time. Listen to battle themes you quickly grow to hate, because you hear the first fifteen seconds of them and nothing more. In the end, I would recommend playing this game. Just to experience it. Truly take in the spectacle that is YIIK. Especially before YIIK I.V comes out. The game as it is a special breed of awful. And I can't help but love it.

Feb. 2024

this is, without a doubt, my guilty pleasure game. it does so many things wrong. the combat is flawed, the story is overly convoluted, the dialogue drags on ages. but shoot, it's so charming. i enjoyed every second of it, even if it was only ironically at first. it turned into genuine entertainment. i enjoyed the hell out of v1.25, and i genuinely think the quality is going to improve exponentially once v1.5 is released. give it a try. but probably once the update is out.
