Now that I finally have a laptop that can play modern AAA games without threatening to explode, I have decided to make the most of my high tech graphics card and GPU and whatnot by starting yet another >20 year old game. Ys VI is I believe the originator of my favorite Ys engine, the same one seen in Oath in Felghana and Ys Origins. The combat is smooth as silk and as always the music and sound design are top-notch. Perhaps most importantly, it is only 5 smackeroos on Steam right now, a whopping 1/12th the price of Sekiro and Dragon Quest III HD.

Beat on Normal on loan from my coworker. Finished at level 50, most likely with maxed out equipment, but it is difficult to recall. This game was brutally difficult but I enjoyed it well enough. I think its story stands out as being a bit more interesting than the other Ys games. Other than the difficult combat, the main flaws I found were lack of fast travel and lack of information. I did not know that some moves were even possible, and there was side content with no clue in game that it was even something you could do; like optional bosses that respawn later in the game in out of the way places. Why would anyone ever randomly go there again?

I could see getting my own copy and playing through again, maybe on higher difficultly. My notes say I gave it 6.5 but I'll bump it up to 7.2/10.
