Ys Origin as far as RPG’s go is absolutely brilliant and to say I enjoyed my time with the game would be a massive understatement. I shared in my review for Ys Origin on the PC that I basically felt it was the finest entry in the series up to that point. Ys Origin isn’t a great game, even with the various modes, difficulty settings, and characters that unlock for replayability, simply because it’s straight dungeon crawl with little variety. The most important aspect for me in an RPG is the combat and thankfully it’s been done to perfection. When it comes to ports of older games, I've always been a fan of companies who give more players the opportunity to experience … However, these issues prevent Ys Origin from being as good as it could be, and they certainly make it difficult to recommend the title to newcomers of Ys.
