TheSixthAxisMiguel MoranNov 20179/10It's been hard to find horror games that scratch my itch to be disturbed without catching me with cheap scares or leaving me with weeks of nightmares. I long for tense, atmospheric experiences that get me shivering and shaken and Yomawari: Midnight Shadows shook me to my core. It's a masterful horror game that tops anything else on the Vita, and rivals many other things on the PS4 as it blends detailed sound-design with rich art and a somber narrative to craft a breath-taking horror experience. Some puzzle segments can be obtuse, and the ending lacks the same sense of accomplishment of the first game, but despite all that, Yomawari continues to perfectly define horror.

DualShockersAzario LopezOct 20178.5/10Yomawari: Midnight Shadows has everything a horror game needs, engaging story and characters, creepy town, and scary spirits. Most importantly, it shows a significant improvement over what the previous entry in the series offered. Sadly, the game lacks more explorable areas and also a more extensive variety of enemies, who end up overstaying their welcome in the later parts of the game. With that said, Yomawari: Midnight Shadows caused me to scream out of fear multiple times and, at the same time, kept me excited for whatever was coming next.

Goomba StompTaylor SmithNov 20175/10Yomawari: Midnight Shadows is a satisfying to play horror-adventure. It makes great use of its audio and visuals to build an experience that's hard to find in a lot of games developed these days.

Metro GameCentralNov 20177/10An even better game than the original, whose innocuous visuals hide a tense and unpredictable survival horror of surprising potency.
