It’s like Ori and the Blind Forest, but pinball

It’s like Ori and the Blind Forest, but pinball. Never thought I needed some pinball wizardry in my life until Yoku. This game really makes you FEEL like a pinball. I feel kind of bad for the makers of this game. They probably put their heart and soul into making something they had a vision for and all people keep talking about is just how the name sounds like Yoshi. It surprisingly is a lot more of a Metroidvania than some of the other games out there that claim to be. Definitely true to the Metroidvania genre, while somehow fusing pinball into it, seemlessly. It reminds me of Sonic spinball plus Metroid. It is very neat, if you like metroidvanias or pinballs you will have a blast. I loved it. It’s casual enough for you to engage with it every day, even if you only have 20 minutes to play. Frequent save points make it a perfect game to play if, like in my case, life gets in the way of gaming very often. It’s entertaining, cute, not too difficult, and it will keep you engaged. The game is absolutely wonderful. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys fun and happiness. Worth every penny and then some, IMO. Good grief though, what kind of zany, crackhead game will they think of next. 10/10
