The ultimate edition of Yo-kai Watch 4, packed with content but weighed down by its scattered structure. Fans get heaps of Yo-kai and escapades, while newcomers drown in the messy abundance.

"Masterful"
Travelling through time to rewrite a grim fate: beneath its cheerful surface, this yo-kai adventure hides a surprisingly ambitious plot, weaving several eras and several heroes together. The series' offbeat humour rubs shoulders with graver moments, and the interlacing of stories offers a narrative density rare for the genre.

An expanded take on the fourth entry, Yo-kai Watch 4++ adds chapters, Yo-kai and play modes to an already hefty adventure blending exploration, befriending hundreds of spirits and real-time battles. Befriending Yo-kai, raising their affinity and hunting the rarest keeps you busy well past the story's end. That generosity, boosted by post-launch content, makes it the bulkiest entry for fans.

Memorable bosses
Blending action with Yo-kai collecting, the fourth entry pushes its bosses toward livelier staging, halfway between turn-based and real-time combat. Giant Yo-kai assert their patterns through sheer size and area attacks, forcing smart team positioning and well-timed Soultimates. Energy, colour and Japanese madness give these duels their unmistakable flavour.
