Simple but effective:
That summarizes Trek to Yomi better than anything else. The combat is very simple, but it's snappy, easy to understand, and accomplished the goal of making the player feel cool.
The story is basic, moreso than what it takes inspiration from, but Trek to Yomi is still an enjoyable few hours of a journey with a definite goal that it sees through from start to finish.
The one aspect that doesn't fit under this simplicity umbrella is the visuals. Even with the game entirely in monochrome, the art direction and environments are stunning to behold and actively carry some of the weaker parts of the gameplay experience.
Overall, when Trek to Yomi is this visually interesting, this committed to its influences, and this bite-sized (only about three hours long or so and on Game Pass, nontheless), it's hard not to recommend it. My one piece of advice is to listen to the game when it defaults to the "Story" difficulty. This game gains little more than frustration by increasing it.
