The best execution of a Pinball Adventure concept!
You are a dung beetle that takes up the job as a the sole postal carrier on an island on the brink of collapse. Will you be able to solve the mysteries of this place while still delivering the mail? Strange I know. Anyway Yoku's Island has your little dung beetle use a ball tied with string to make use of the island's bumpers, flippers, and launchers. See the entire Metroidvania inspired island is like one massive sprawling pinball table. When you are on level ground you can roll the ball left or right but you'll need to use the environment to really get around. And unlike pinball with it's fail states (like running out of balls or tilting) and score keeping, Yoku is all about the adventure of solving puzzles and completing quests. This makes for a relaxing experience. I only got frustrated a couple of times with trying to hit flippers just right to complete a task. The game has a water color story book like aesthetic with music inspired by the music you might hear in Hawaii or the Caribbean. It's just a very chill game even in its more stressful environments. The story is actually quite good too. I don't want to spoil anything though! Lots of funny characters to meet which makes the island feel alive. Most Metroidvania games are quiet between big plot moments but Yoku is more like a JRPG town spread out over the whole game. There's interesting characters in every environment. If you don't manage to do everything before the credits roll there's side quests you can finish after, like delivering mail to all the boxes on the island. Overall Yoku's Island is such an enjoyable and unique experience that I strongly feel it is worth the time of any pinball or platforming or adventure game fan. Or just any gamer really!

Beautiful and fun game
I was not sure if I was going to buy this game at first, but I decided to get it due to high reviews. I really like 2D platformers and on top of that I really love pinball so I decided to give the game a chance. I am really glad that I did because this game is beautiful and so fun to play. The art style reminds me of Ori and the Blind Forest and the game play and characters are really charming! You never run out of things to do due to all of the quests that you pick up along the way to help you further your exploration and story. Overall if you like 2D platformers and/ or pinball please give this game a chance!

Pinball meets Open World
When I think of the genres open world and pinball, these are the last 2 genres that I'd ever imagine being combined. However, somehow, the developers have successfully married the 2 genres in one of the most unique and brilliant experiences I've ever played. The game is cute, charming, and a total blast to play. One of those experiences that comes along every now and then as a sleeper hit that few know of but is an absolute must have. I highly recommend checking this one out.
