  • music
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is described as catchy and enjoyable, with a free soundtrack included that features six tunes. However, many users find the music to be excessively loud and repetitive, leading to annoyance after prolonged play.

  • humor
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is perceived as initially amusing but quickly loses its appeal, with players noting that it only remains funny for a short duration. Critics highlight a lack of depth and creativity, comparing it unfavorably to other games like Goat Simulator, and suggest that the developers failed to fully explore the comedic potential of their concept. While some moments, such as glitchy interactions, can elicit laughter, the overall execution leaves much to be desired.

    • “+ it's kind of funny smacking random pedestrians and watching them fly.”
    • “There's a few guys you can knock around and it gets glitchy which can be pretty hilarious.”
    • “The developers just took a hilarious idea and did nothing with it.”
  • story
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is criticized for its lack of proper structure and depth, revolving around a young schoolgirl named Yagi who gains superpowers but is left isolated in a random city. Reviewers express disappointment over the minimal content and absence of meaningful objectives, leading to a feeling of stagnation rather than engagement. Overall, the narrative fails to elevate the gameplay experience, leaving players wishing for a more developed storyline.

    • “The story follows a young schoolgirl named Yagi who is somehow given superpowers and is entirely isolated within an unknown city.”
    • “Better physics, soundtrack, combat, and story than Fallout 4.”
    • “I wish there was more to the game, like goals or a storyline.”
    • “The game features no proper level design or game/story flow/plot, and while some game formats can be amenable to this, they must be truly exceptional, where this is not.”
    • “Sadly, even with minimum resources, there's hardly enough content to give them any genuine understanding of its lack of storytelling and very eccentric implementation centered in one stage.”
    • “The 'story' follows a young schoolgirl named Yagi who is somehow given superpowers and entirely isolated within an unknown random city.”
  • gameplay
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “There are no graphics, sound, keyboard, or any type of customization options.”
    • “The graphics are bad too.”

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is notably poor, with users reporting numerous glitches, particularly with headbutts and jumpkicks. The physics engine is described as buggy, aligning with the game's own description, leading to a frustrating experience for players.

  • monetization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization of Yohjo Simulator is criticized as a cash grab, priced at around $5 USD, which many users feel is unjustified due to the game's defects and shortcomings. Reviewers highlight the availability of numerous free, higher-quality alternatives on Steam, suggesting that the game fails to deliver value for its cost.

    • “Yohjo Simulator has the cash grab price of around $5 USD. It's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam.”
    • “Basically, a really lazy cash grab thinking they can trick some suckers into thinking they're getting another Goat Simulator.”
  • emotional
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express a profound sense of longing and emotional distance in the game, highlighting themes of unfulfilled connection and the pain of separation. This evokes a deep emotional resonance, as the experience of observing without engaging creates a poignant sense of yearning.
