I recommend skipping this one.

I can see its ambition. Still, it's one of the harder Ys games for mostly bad reasons. I've played on very easy, yet somehow at certain parts I kept on dying.

Cheap enemy placement, traps no one likes, equipment that could've made the climb way easier, some bosses that seems like an out-damaging or out-enduring contest, harder difficulty which just …

I can see its ambition. Still, it's one of the harder Ys games for mostly bad reasons. I've played on very easy, yet somehow at certain parts I kept on dying.

Cheap enemy placement, traps no one likes, equipment that could've made the climb way easier, some bosses that seems like an out-damaging or out-enduring contest, harder difficulty which just means numbers... I can go on and on about it.

The only thing I liked in this otherwise run of the mill Action-RPG, was that I actually had to figure out some bosses instead of just mashing my way through victory.

Why did I finish it? Just to see if it actually was that good. Sorry guys, but people saying it's good say that a McDonald's is the best food ever. It has a predictable story with run of the mill progression and some of the worst difficulty spike. Yes, even when it released.

Skip this one and spend your time on a better game. You, the gamer, deserves better.

I can't believe that this game has managed to fool me with its plot not once but twice! it seems that Falcom's taste for plot twists has been going on for a long time. The final battle of this …

Short, concise and fun like all Ys installments. This installment is much fairer than Ark of Napishtim but visually less attractive. I can't believe that this game has managed to fool me with its plot not once but twice! it seems that Falcom's taste for plot twists has been going on for a long time. The final battle of this game was simply masterful. enter image description here

Review LarxiGamer 4/5 · Oct 7, 2020

Desafiante pero brillante

Brillante en lo jugable y aunque pierda algo de fuelle llegando al final es una experiencia disfrutable, contenida, desafiante, la bso como siempre de lujo. Nihon Falcom tiene una saga que es una joya y que no tiene el reconocimiento que merece.
