Yiik has been a guilty little pleasure of mine for a while now, something I've looked on and laughed about, something that brought me much joy in how bad it was. When I heard they were reworking the game AGAIN I knew that I had to give it a go. the initial trailers for the new update also intrigued me. were they remaking the story? so when the update dropped, I bought the game immediately. and then didn't play it for 6 months I didn't play this game until finally I decided I must see what it had become. I expected to find a slog of game who's only redeeming grace would be how hilariously bad it was. I was wrong, I was oh so wrong. This game is a masterpiece. Conceptually it is brilliant and I feel appeals only to my sensibilities. They built not one, but two games upon the corpse of Yiik, a corpse they were able to breathe some new life into with additional story beats and an entirely new (and admittedly quite fun) battle system, so while the festering carcass of old Yiik dwelled beneath, the new additions were more than enough to entertain and engage me. I found myself enraptured, and with each hour that passed I sunk deeper into the mire. This game is brilliant. Upon completion, I thought "wow, that was excellent, it was still a bit shoddy, and the old story still has many of the same problems, the new additions are clearly a lot better and more interesting, overall, decent game." and then new game plus begun, and that sealed it. This game is a masterpiece and a mastercraft in meta-narrative exploration. I laughed and I cried but most importantly I yiiked out.

This game's a window to another universe's Evangelion, where it was made by Atlus, directed by Suda51 and its OST made by a bad ending version of Dingaling. It's PIIK.

Unironically best game I've played this year, and the IV update has doubled down on my belief of that. This game is beautiful. The narrative has helped me reflect on my self and my own downfalls in self critique and hating the world around me. This game is important and one I can easily recommend to anyone.

as of today the giant 1.5 (IV) update came out, and it is a massive improvement to just about everything that was wrong with the game initially. the main giant improvement is the battle system: battles are now closer to a traditional turn-based system and very fast paced. load times have been cut down completely. the game has still retained its personality while adding huge amounts of new content and mechanics. if you either didn't like the game in its original state or were on the fence about it, now is a perfect time to go back in and play it with an open mind. there is enough new content that it is basically an entirely new experience, even if you have seen or played it all before. i believe that the allansons have finally reached their final vision for the game, and i am incredibly glad that they stuck with it this long instead of giving up after the initial negative response.
