Ys Origin

It's funny I've played 3 "zelda-like" action games back to back and they were all great and although similar from a high level, very different in how they felt. Ys Origin is the "crunchiest" of the 3 and most likely due to its age, but it's straight forward in its approach and I think that's why its so enjoyable. It's responsive and you feel strong mowing through mobs like it's nothing. The tower is designed really well and feels like a lot of thought went into the puzzles at each section; the backtracking always feel great and keeping things in tower segments makes it never feel like a pain. I will say the 3 required playthroughs to get the actual ending and canon route is interesting and definitely a product of older game design, especially given they are identical in gameplay. It was nice being able to breeze through it on very easy but still it wasn't the most engaging. The 3 perspectives was neat but it left me scratching my head as they all differed a bit in the events that played out, versus it just being 3 different POVs on the same events. I feel like the game could've just been Toal's perspective and still worked but on the other hand I do enjoy having played the other POVs and gotten closer to Yunica and Hugo as I think it made Toal's route land better. The story works as a great prequel and an intriguing setup to the world. Overall a really fun time and a great introduction into one of Falcom's legendary series.

an alright time, a pretty competent and easy to pick up action game. rather short but pushes you to do multiple playthrough by having a few characters all with their story. i'm personally unlikely (at least in the immediate future) to do more than one play through, partly because i don't think the story is particularly great. it's fine. it's there. nothing terrible about it, but nothing that entices me to do the game three times (for each character). on top of that some of the boss fights just aren't that fun, and even if they aren't a huge part of the run i would still rather not do it again ys games are pretty notorious for being rather separate so if you want you can probably just pick this one up and play it at your leisure

buen gameplay y ost, pero que paja que se tenga que pasar 3 veces el juego completo para entender los puntos de vista y que solo la tercera tenga los cambios notorios y el final verdadero, pero buen juego.

Ys Origin explores 700 years before the event of the first Ys game. It's mechanics are simple and quite entertaining, offering three different routes to get the full picture of the story. For those who played both Ys I & II, this game is a great origin story.
