Yoku's Island Express reviews and comments
But between the physics-based movement, often pixel-perfect requirements for flipper/bumpers to progress, long-winded position resets when failing a puzzle, and how much backtracking this game requires, this just drags on and on and on. And that's not even getting into how fetch-questy every single sidequest is.
Since this has to spin a couple plates, the pinball side really suffers. Mechanically it functions like a pinball table but as far as a game loop goes, it couldn't be any more different. There are nice touches here and there - I like the multiball mechanic that gets introduced at the end - but this is a puzzle platformer with contrived boss fights, not a pinball game.
