    As challenging as it is strange, Yumi's Odd Odyssey seems doomed to obscurity thanks both to its aesthetics and its quiet release onto eShop. It deserves notice, though. It's the first U.S. release of a long-running cult series from Japan, and – more importantly – it's loads of challenging fun.

    This is not going to be welcomed with open arms by everyone, mostly due to its demanding levels and difficult-to-learn controls. If you’re a fan of old-school platformers, however, Yumi’s Odd Odyssey is a comprehensive collection of puzzles that will serve your palate well and well worth checking out on the eShop.

    A surprisingly demanding difficulty level and an initially underwhelming presentation might keep some players from biting, but the unique, polished, and endlessly appealing gameplay will be more than enough to reel in everybody else. There's really nothing else like Umihara Kawase, and its Western release is something to celebrate — puzzle-platforming fans, don't let this one get away.

    It looks about on par with a good-looking PlayStation One release, bearing a striking resemblance to Tomba. The 3D effect is also minimal, and a lot of the backdrops tend to blend together after a while. It kind of stings given the pricepoint, but where Yumi shines is its commitment to platforming excellence.

    It'll lure you in with its cute design and excellent, challenging gameplay, but its charms wear off quickly as frustration replaces the sense of wonderment that it tries so hard to create.

    No entanto, é essa mesma mecânica que acaba por defraudar o resultado final, prejudicando um pouco a experiência em virtude de uma falta de precisão que tende a deixar o jogador abandonado e a causar momentos frustrantes. No entanto, não deixa de ser um teste positivo de paciência, concentração e persistência.
