Ys I & II Chronicles+ Reviews

Yes

One "bump" and you're hooked.....

I love these old skool rpg games, but you are going to need a map, because you can easly get lost in this game.

Ys II: Ancient Ys Vanished – The Final Chapter picks up right where the incredible Ys I left off, and what a journey it continues to be! From the moment the game starts, you're hit with the iconic "To Make the End of Battle", a track that instantly solidifies its place as one of the greatest opening themes in gaming history. The soundtrack throughout the entire game is, much like its predecessor, an absolute masterpiece, perfectly capturing the atmosphere of every moment. Continuing Adol's adventure onto the legendary floating continent of Ys felt truly magical and special. Finally being in the place spoken of in the first game is a fantastic payoff, and the world-building, plot, and storyline remain as immaculate and engaging as ever. The introduction of magic adds a welcome new layer to the gameplay, and exploring the vibrant and mysterious environments of Ys is a constant delight. However, I must admit that the Solomon Shrine section did present a significant hurdle. Its labyrinthine design, with many similar-looking corridors, often led to frustration and excessive backtracking. It became difficult to keep track of where I had been or where I needed to go, which unfortunately slowed down the momentum and felt a bit tedious. Despite this challenging section, the ending of Ys II is truly fantastic and provides a satisfying conclusion to the initial Ys saga. It's emotionally resonant and leaves a lasting impression. And as mentioned before, the music throughout the entire game remains phenomenal, consistently elevating the experience.

Класс, шикарно, было очень весело. Правда было не понятно куда идти местами и можно упустить некоторые моменты, но после конца двулогии Ys: "хочется плакать". Советую? Да, но только после первой части, т.к. его сиквел с улучшениями.
