We've talked about the "bump" Ys game, and we've talked about the modern 3D party games. Ys Origin utilizes a third gameplay type - 2D hack and slash. This game is unique as it's the only one where you don't play as series protagonist Adol.

This game's awesome. Playing through the game feels distinct with each character. Bosses are huge monsters, like always. Combat is fluid, challenging but not too tough. The pixel art looks great and the soundtrack is as fantastic as usual. 

If you've played Ys I & 2, Origin is connected to those. If you haven't, it can be played standalone and you won't miss anything important. If you like 2D action games, play this.

Verdict: Finished
