Ys Origin Reviews

Unskippable cutscenes!!!

Great game

An excellent game made even better if you've played Ys I and II. A couple of annoying rooms and hard bosses. The music and graphics are incredible. Really loved it.

Yunica's nightmare boss rush condition story playthrough is very fun and very frustrating. It reminds me of Felghana.

3 playable characters and in my opinion, considering the short runtime, playing each of the 3 characters is definitely worth it. An extremely fun action game with pretty good bosses and a nicely, while also simple, story. My favorite of the Ys ark engine games. Personally: origin > 6 > oath.

Fantastic game, never played the Ys games before but glad I did. Play style was a bit weird at first but after seeing it as playing the same as older gba games like dbz buu's fury or dbz legacy of goku 1+2 it became cake, however I am slightly disappointed in the lack of Fact puns. So many puns coulda been made such as My name is Hugo and that is a Fact, Hugo Fact. Etc type shiii

it's an Ys game. If you like action RPG games, or Ys, you will like it. Probably one of the best Ys games outside of the 3d games.

I don’t know whether to feel happy or a little melancholic now that I’ve finally caught up with most of the older Ys games. As someone who adores old school action RPGs and holds a deep love for the early 2000s era of Ys, I know I’m going to miss the simplicity and atmosphere of these games dearly. I adored Ys I & II, and Oath in Felghana was so addictive that it quickly became one of my all time favorites. Ys games just have a gentle, simple, and nostalgic charm that never fails to captivate me. In a way they feel reminiscent of the pre-BOTW Zelda games, and I genuinely can’t think of higher praise than that. They embody the pure feeling of adventure, and the simplicity of the gameplay only enhances that. Ys Origin is no different. If anything, it’s a huge step up from The Ark of Napishtim, and I couldn’t be happier about it. There are no overly complex combat mechanics or convoluted upgrade systems, just a beautifully streamlined experience that hits the perfect balance between exploration and action. You’re not mindlessly running in a straight line, but you’re also never overwhelmed by aimless wandering. This simplicity is what makes the game so enjoyable. The movement is fast and fluid, making even the act of engaging in combat incredibly fun. Every attack flows seamlessly into the next, slashing through hordes of enemies is endlessly satisfying, especially with an awesome soundtrack that takes the experience to the next level. After loving most of the older Ys games, I can say without a doubt that the Ys games from the 2000s are among my favorite games. I can only hope that the later entries manage to capture the same magic that made these classics so special.
