New Yankee: Through the History Mirror
A time-hopping puzzle adventure that trades depth for accessibility, solid for casual players killing an hour, but strategy fans should temper expectations.
GamerScout Verdict
A breezy puzzle adventure for casual players; skip it if you need strategic depth or replayability.
Compare Prices(5 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About New Yankee: Through the History Mirror
I went in expecting a strategy game based on the tags, and what I found instead is a casual adventure romp where John and Mary bounce between historical periods solving simple puzzles and fetch quests. The parallel-timeline mechanic has potential but stays surface-level: you're mostly matching objects, unlocking areas, and hitting achievement checkboxes rather than making any meaningful decisions. If you're hunting for a relaxing, low-stakes puzzle game with a time-travel coat of paint, the premise delivers that fine. Where it stumbles is scope. There's no real build variety, no strategic layer, and no reason to replay once you've cleared the campaign. The tutorial is friendly enough for newcomers, but the depth ceiling arrives fast. Consider this a palette cleanser between heavier games, not a strategy investment. It knows what it is, a bite-sized indie adventure, and commits to that lane without pretense.
