Yoku's Island Express is a colorful gem emerging from the sea of independent development, a title that demonstrates how innovation and originality can still play a fundamental role in today's video game market. Traditional in its chromatics and imagery (which remains vibrant and fresh nonetheless), Villa Gorilla's proposal blends platforming and pinball within a metroidvania framework to create a video game like rarely seen before. Observation, timing, quick execution, and curiosity are what's needed to overcome the challenges of Yoku's island and its extravagant inhabitants: the game mechanics, besides being unconventional, are surprisingly effective and stimulating. Yoku's Island Express is one of those titles to be valued without reservation, in the hope of sending a message to the market and the development team, and to have an ecosystem populated by less standardized and more courageous projects.
