2 minutes.
2 minutes is all it takes for Ys Origin to drag you straight into a flow state. Its unclear how much time passes as you rush room to room, keeping massive chains going as each little drop of xp creates the sensational dopamine rush needed to forget that a world still exists around you. Every moment expertly paced with tricky boss fights and a relatively engaging narrative.

It all builds to a climax as you finish a final boss and beat a singular route, only to dive right back in again like an adrenaline junky.

It's an incredible game, one I will likely revisit over and over again throughout my life. Could not recommend it enough
