One of the best Ys games
The first one of the serie I played. Because it's not that hard, if you play it at "normal" difficulty. Frustration is far from it. Progression it's easy, two or three level up will be enough to beat the next boss, that's a great thing if you don't like grinding for hours.

God Of War meets Zelda
Wow... amazing game. A nice dungeon crawler in the style of Zelda. With God of War-like combat. The game looks nice too. Don't forget to use the "configuration tool" in the Start Menu > Programs > Ys Origin to config the grafhics settings.

poor excuse for a Ys game.
I've played 4 other Ys games and honestly this doesn't feel like one of them. There's too much artificial difficulty here with forced grinding and artificial difficulty by addint 'bullet hell' mechanics where you have to keep dodging barrages of projectiles after a certain specific boss fight. In other games, it felt like I was actually fighting bosses, here I feel like I'm fighting the developers' laziness. Instead of looking at boss patterns and seeing where the chance to retaliate is (the first FEW bosses are like this and beating them feels good) eventually you will have to start dodging screen spam of projectiles that bounce around everywhere and some that also track you, with almost no chance to even attack the boss, or maybe just take a quick swipe, before having to keep running to avoid getting swarmed or possible animation locked by your attacks. And let me just add one completely obnoxious thing here that does not do the game any favors: there will be one point where you ahve to beat some special mobs to advance the story, mobs that you have to be at least a certai level to beat because otherwise you will only be doing 1 damage to them with your attacks to try to whittle down their hundreds of hp, so you will HAVE TO grind exp for like 3-4 levels just so you can start doing 7-10 range of damage to them per attack. I didn't have to grind any levels before this, I felt like the game was staying at level in difficulty all around. You will know when you reach this stupid change in gameplay once you effectively get to "a bridge and a floating tower." You will know when you see it. What a waste of a Ys title.

Streamlined Ys
I have to say my first time playing a "modern" style Ys game has left a pretty damn good impression. Fast, fun, and action packed, I enjoyed the hell out of this game and if you are a fan of action adventure games, I can easily say check this one out. Just go understanding this is a linear game that cuts to just the moment to moment combat game and plays this exceptionally well instead of actually wandering around an open world. Also do not go in expecting to get anything out of the "replay" with the other character, because it's basically not there. What is here is great, just a bit more limited in scope then other games even in this series (that I have played so far).

Excellent game
With fast paced action and rpg elements Ys origin is a great add to any collection. I was expecting the arpg -like combat style, but uit really grew on me and the story is solid, if a little uninspired. Definitely recommend this.
