Not a terrible game, but also not great. Having not seen a single Kurosawa movie, any kind of reference this game might be making that could elevate the experience are just completely lost on me. I liked the visual presentation, the black and white does work pretty well and the game had some decently memorable vistas on its 5 or so hour runtime. Even at this length it did feel padded out a times, you really spend a long ass time before you actually get to the titular Yomi. Once you are there though the game gets fairly more interesting with the levels being more creative and introducing several enemy types that make the combat a bit more varied right when its starting to get on my nerves. By the end of the game I was kinda sick of it again, its just too simple and clunky. One of the most consistent strategies I found was turning around and spamming the move that hits anything near my back, and that worked for like 90% of encounters. Story was also pretty whatever, just a revenge plot with no memorable characters.
