Sumatra: Fate of Yandi
Posted: 11 Jun 2019, 07:31
"It may be a jungle out there, but within this tropical island adventure is a fun, nostalgia-filled experience that is destined to be compared to early '90s Sierra."
The Good:
Nice nostalgic feel in both visuals and audio
Intriguing story, especially once the mystery of the researchers kicks in
Strong characterization
Fun transition from the main menu to the game
The Bad:
Ending is disappointing in its tell-don’t-show approach
Dialog trees sometimes hide new options
Character sprites could use a bit more detail
Our Verdict:
Evoking the feel of classic Sierra games but without their sudden deaths and dead ends, Sumatra: Fate of Yandi is a fun, enjoyable tale of survival in a lush rainforest, only marginally brought down by a weak ending.
