This review is all feelings-based with no actually good argumentation for my score. But YS 1 and 2 (The 2013 remasters to be specific) are some of my favorite games ever. I could list many, many reasons why they should not have a score higher than about 3/5. But i still rate YS 1 4.5 and YS 2 a perfect 5.
I was not young when I played these games the first time. There is 0 nostalgia here. I was not playing video games during the era of the originals either. But the first time I played Ys 1 and 2 I basically played for 3 days non stop. You know that feeling that you chase when looking for new video games? The one games gave you when you were a kid. There was a magic to your favorite games that feels like it doesn't exist as an adult.
Ys Chronicles gave me that feeling.
