“Solid gameplay flow that iterates on itself, with a short but interesting story.”

Yuoni
Yuoni is a horror title that relies heavily on traditional jump scares. Furthermore, the world is too dark and the action lacks finesse. In theory, it should have been great, in reality, it sadly falls short. + The monsters are creepy. + Atmospheric audio. + Some replay value and longevity. - The jump scares are tired and dated. -The controls are sluggish. - It didn't wow me.

55%Yuoni Review - Ghostly Hide And Seek Romp Is Flawed, Yet Still Worth Checking Out For Horror Fans
Yuoni takes the hide-and-seek formula and adds a few new concepts to it. Not everything works as well as the others, particularly the design of some of the common enemies and their movements. However, it makes some thoughtful creative choices and takes chances with them to make something that at least horror fans should try out. Yuoni is far from perfect, but it still holds its own merit.
70%Yuoni (Nintendo Switch)
Youni is a very short and unfortunately lackluster experience. Once you’ve played the first few levels, you have essentially seen it all. Whilst some of the jump scares are great and some moments are very eerie, there isn’t much else to keep you invested or wanting to play. The poor visuals impact the smoothness of the gameplay, causing frustration on top of the slow pacing.
