Ys Origin is a game that i don't really have a whole lot to say about. It is a nice and simple game which i'm ok with. The combat is just fine, although i do wish there was more to do with it. The music is the expected Falcom-tier of quality, although i do wish there was a bit more variety. When both the boss themes and the area themes use electric guitars, it can end up feeling a little samey. As for the story and characters, it doesn't really matter if i'm being completely honest.

My biggest gripe with the game is the bosses and the way levels are handled. I don't think i've really enjoyed a single boss fight in this game because almost all of them are basically bullet hells with zero health pickups. This ties into the way levels are handled because just one level makes or breaks the fight. If you're one level below the boss, you'll get your ass kicked. One level over and it becomes a cakewalk. It's so stupid and the way this is handled is a big enough gripe for me that 6/10 is the highest score i can give it.

This game has three routes, i only did one (Yunica) and even if i liked the game more, i would not be playing it two more times in a row. That's just asking for burnout.

I don't even know if i'll replay it tbh, the bosses really do suck.
