May 26, 2014This game does, indeed, require mastery and skill to even be completed, and this might take a lot of training before this can be achieved.
-
Mar 29, 2014Aptly named and well worth the wait, Yumi's Odd Odyssey is an absolute joy.
-
May 8, 2014Like its predecessors, this is most definitely an under-the-radar, cult title which is unlikely to be troubling the charts – which is a damn shame as it features a fresh take on how a platform game can be played, something that almost becomes an art-form in the right hands.
-
Apr 7, 2014As 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.
-
Mar 29, 2014I'd only recommend Yumi's Odd Odyssey to the most dedicated platforming fans out there. Purists will love it, but the $30 price tag is going to be too rich for nearly everyone's blood. In a sale though, you can't go wrong picking this one up if you have an affinity towards the tried-and-true grappling hook.

May 16, 2014Some expensive, state of the art equipment may help to catch several fishes, but a delicate control of the line is enough to hook the tastiest.
-
May 14, 2014Sayonara Umihara Kawase is weird, slow and quite frustrating but it's also a true display of smart level design and physics. Too bad it's short and quite expensive as well.
-
May 8, 2014It's an old-school platformer, where those who look for a challenge will find a great but repetitive experience.
-
Apr 11, 2014Light on story but heavy on gameplay, Yumi's Odd Odyssey will as surely delight platformer connoisseurs as it will confound casual players.
-
Mar 31, 2014If 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.

Official Nintendo Magazine UKJun 29, 2014It's a genuine opinion-splitter. [July 2014, p.80]
-
May 27, 2014Sayonara Umihara Kawase is one of those titles that has the potential to captivate one segment of the audience while leaving the other mostly indifferent to it. It does press several right buttons, such as its style and mechanics but overall the experience is somehow limited and it doesn't stand out as much as it could.
-
Apr 1, 2014Yumi’s Odd Odyssey is worth looking into mostly as a puzzle platforming curio, especially if you crave a challenge born more out of mechanics than level design and enemies.
