Critic Reviews for Yaga
It's an unsatisfying folktale then, the kind where the storyteller insists on coughing and saying 'erm' a lot, when all you want them to do it get on with it and get to the good bit.
The amazing theme and artwork just can't carry the lackluster gameplay of Yaga.
Yaga is a nice looking game with Slavic mythology and interesting tasks and characters, which suffers from a limited combat system, bad map and interface, and an inefficient system of side tools that hang like a dead weight for most of the game.

While this may be welcomed by players looking for a less intense experience, Yaga doesn't fulfill all its potential due to an exploration that feels too linear and a combat system that remains shallow. Its luck system also needs an improvement and the HD Rumble feature is not properly implemented, which end up harming what the Yaga experience could have been.

Yaga has bags of personality and benefits greatly from being steeped in superbly atmospheric Slavic folklore.
Yaga is a fun and artistically very inspired action RPG. Visually we are faced with a small masterpiece, which manages to paint a truly original picture of an absolutely fascinating mythology.

Indie action-adventure Yaga blends Slavic folklore with unique gameplay mechanics, but its stumbling combat leaves something to be desired.
Yaga on PC is a fun romp through an underused setting. Slavic lore is fascinating and the game hands it to you by the bucket. However, while the story is fun, the setting is fantastic, and the graphics are terrific, Yaga's gameplay suffers from mediocrity despite some interesting-ish mechanics.
