YIIK: A Postmodern RPG Reviews
YIIK A Postmodern RPG is a title that squanders personality from all four sides, and offers a JRPG that is not only very competent in itself, but is also a very well written love letter to this genre. Polishing a few tedious details, it would be an outstanding title without any doubt.

If it wasn’t already obvious, I think YIIK is a game that everyone should play. It is not a perfect game – rarely do titles come along that feature wholly agreeable mechanics – but it manages to use fabulous music, voice acting, and addictive combat in order to tell an extremely original story. This is one of the rare titles that has challenged me to rethink what I believe is possible in the medium, let alone the Role-playing genre, and for that, I give it my healthiest and most adamant recommendation.
Rough design, a lack of polish, a discombobulated story, and hard-to-bear battles make it hard for me to recommend YIIK to anyone but the most fervent collector of 'odd' games. Save yourself the time, and replay the Mother/Earthbound games instead.
