Professional reviews from gaming critics
Dive into a surreal 1970s game world and save San Francisco from a sinister threat. Play as Barb, and use the Oscillator to capture and reapply the physical traits of objects to solve mind-bending environmental platforming puzzles.
Yerba Buena is a great puzzle game that starts off slow, but picks up in both its gameplay and story. It's also quite enjoyable on the Steam Deck, but does need a few compromises.
Yerba Buena is a decent physics-based puzzler, with some great ideas that often land and a story that kept me interested despite a few frustrations.
Yerba Buena is a story-based puzzle platformer. You may be wielding a gun-like device, but there is no combat here. This is something more similar to Portal where the story and puzzle mechanics go hand in hand. It doesn't always impress with its puzzles, as some can drag on for far too long.
Barb finds herself right inside a video game and has a fantastic device that allows her to change things around her and solve puzzles. But even that sometimes doesn't help her succeed.
