Ys: The Oath in Felghana Reviews

great on deck

Way to hard, not fun at all, really unfair as well

I played [b]Ys: The Oath in Felghana[/b] originally in 2012. At that time, the graphics and control mechanics felt so off-putting that I forgot it completely for 13 years. As being part of my personal challenge to complete each of my steam library games (in story mode). Eventually I came back to this and happily noticed that the game has received quite a bunch of quality-of-life updates since the original play date. The visual aspect can be ramped to new levels and playing with keyboard + mouse was eventually the best option myself. You can further ease the gameplay by enabling features from official configuration editor. [b]PSA: I highly recommend keeping the V-Sync option enabled, learning this the hard way by being soft-locked in few parts without realizing it first. As example the double jump not reaching the specific heights. As the game feels to be optimized for lower FPS and without this option enabled you cannot proceed with the game.[/b] English voice acting can be as funny as the written characters are, your best buddy companion says few stuff in the beginning which you might want to keep your eyes on. [h2]Final score: 8/10[/h2]

Playing this as my third Ys game going in order of release based on what steam has to offer, its an amazing experience from the perspective of me playing nightmare mode only so far. The boss fights are much improved from the previous two games but there are a few stinkers that don't want you to have fun, Gyalva and Guilen *cough cough*.

My favorite Ys gameplay type is top down, so Origin, Felghana and Napishtim are my favorite games. This game is super fun and straightforward. Also, only taking in account gameplay, I think it has the best final boss of all games.
