IGN writes: "Square Enix's puzzle game will grab fans of the genre, but with such a meager feature set it may not be able to hold onto them for long. If you're a high score junky and enjoy working your way up online leaderboards then you'll likely find this to be a solid, if unremarkable, XBLA game. The head-to-head multiplayer mode provides some thrills but doesn't really have the legs to keep you coming back for more. Yosumin has charm and some fun ideas but it's not one of the more robust XBLA offerings".

It seems all is not over however, as now we see even more games added to help expand the ever-growing list even more. In typical fashion we’re here once more to bring you our thoughts on the latest additions, and give our views on whether it’s worth the time, and effort, to head back to these past titles once more."

Oh wow how fast they keep adding them it's so good to know all new Xbox consoles are gonna carry all these games with better graphics it's amazing
Backwards compatibility should be a standard going forward. There should be no reason it can't be done. I expect the PS5 to play all PS4 games. We already know that's going to be the case with Xbox 5.
Honestly, that's the predominant aspect of Yosumin Live!: it's passivity. It's a very casual puzzle-like game that can slowly sneak up on you with a hidden complexity. It will not be fun for all players and even fans of the puzzle genre may be left scratching their heads. Given a chance, it may win you over with its cheerful visual style, sound effects and surprising depth. Giving it that opportunity, however, is probably going to be more effort than most players deem worthwhile.
Most people give screenshots a quick scan whenever they come to a page, and no doubt most have probably audibly groaned at the prospect of another match three puzzler. Those fears are unfounded however because here you're actually matching four! Ahem.
