Professional reviews from gaming critics
YesterMorrow isn’t a bad game exactly. It’s just mediocre, and in an age of fantastic indie platformers, it doesn’t make the cut. The story and gameplay are generic, and the technical issues are frustrating and feel easily avoidable. YesterMorrow is an average experience, but not one that I would recommend considering the plethora of other options available.
YesterMorrow is a thoroughly enjoyable, challenging 2D platformer with excellent pixel artwork and lots of familiar tropes. No one will be impressed by the story or the uniqueness of anything it has to offer, but the consistently strong game design and tight controls make it well worth playing all the same.
YesterMorrow is a time-traveling puzzle platformer where you guide Yui across timelines as she traverses a broken future in search of a way to save her past.
YesterMorrow is the tale of Yui, who must go back and forth between her past and present to try and change the course of history, using her abilities to tackle a number of challenges of beautiful but boring puzzles and challenges. YesterMorrow feels like a case of wasted potential - its an interesting concept with too little substance.
A peaceful forest village marks the beginning point for YesterMorrow, as its inhabitants prepare for a grand festival. This celebration honours the eternal victory of Light over Dark – which makes it all the more dramatic when dastardly shadows attack the village, tearing the tranquil world into a desolate hellscape!
YesterMorrow is an interesting name. The game itself is a little on the contrary. YesterMorrow is a newer indie game on the Nintendo Switch by developers Bitmap
Typically, I try to think of who would want to play this game, even if it wasn’t one that I particularly liked. What audience would this appeal to? Is there a special use case or niche that this game fills? Honestly, I don’t have an answer to these questions. YesterMorrow could have been a real solid platformer, but it was released far too soon; more work is needed to bring it up to a point where it can be enjoyed. There are moments where YesterMorrow’s tight controls, level design, and artstyle all come together and shine. Unfortunately, the mountain of technical issues and the empty wo…
YesterMorrow had a lot of potential to really flesh out its time travel aspect but it is either using it too much in some areas, making it feel like a gimmick, or not using it enough in protracted areas with no NPCs or puzzles to interact with. For example, when you enter the past of the desert areas things are completely desolate. There aren’t even really any landmarks to go into the future to see how they change, it's just empty.
