GSY Review PC PS4 Xbox One Switch

After Detroit, we're taking you on vacation on an isolated island with Yoku's Island Express, a pretty original game published by Team 17 and created by Swedish developer Villa Gorilla. If our preview videos hadn't managed to convince you, maybe our verdict will.

GSY Preview PC PS4 Xbox One

Team 17 sent us a review code for Yoku's Island Express and we are allowed to share a few preview videos showing the very beginning of the adventure. Villa Gorilla's title is the improbable mix between a platformer and a pinball game in which exploration is key. The inclusion of Metroidvania elements is just as surprising but they make sense since the game is actually open world. With its cute art style and catchy soundtrack, Yoku's Island seems promising enough for us to propose a bunch of videos today. Let's hope it does not disappoint us by the time we complete it and the review embargo lifts, on May 29.

    Loakum Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (3 Weeks ago)
