Let's start from positive sides of the game: the new adventure with Adol, new interesting and sometimes funny heroes abilities (especially cat-runs >^_^< on the buildings), a good story. This game is a nice addition to Ys series. Still, unfortunately, I would rate it as 3.5/5 for two reasons: 1. The game is too short, it took me just 43 hours to almost fully complete the game (missed 1 box and 1 event). After Ys VIII and recent Trails games this was unexpected a bit. It would not be a big deal if not the next item 2. The game is sold at full price without any regional discounts. I do understand why Trails of Cold Steel IV costs 60$ (and I actually bought a Deluxe on release there), or Lacrimosa of DANA costs the same, but the same price for Monstrum Nox looks unjustified, especially after the game end. In the end, if you a fan of the Ys series, I assume you've already bought it :), for everyone else you may wait for a reasonable discount, or look on Lacrimosa of DANA, if you didn't play it before
