fun run-n-gun that lacks depth and gets old pretty fast

I liked it better than the first one, even though the battle system falls way too much on the use of witch time and umbran climax, it’s still fun and the levels are better contained and have less gimmicky sections. The story is a little bit better but still a little irrelevant, the music and graphic design is a lot better too.

Gave it like 80+ hours and I think it’s enough, it is fun but I now I get tired after 2 or 4 matches.

not a big fan of the bonus system, and the hitbox really bugged me, but overall I love the aesthetic, enemy design, the power shot, and music.

It's fun, it's funny, and an overall improvement over the first one. In my childhood I only really played the 3rd one so I wanted to go back and experience the original trilogy, but if this is peak (according to comments and videos I've seen), that's enough for me.

1cc super easy mode.

I love these games but I suck at them, it is part of the fun I guess. As of now this is my favorite DDP.

finished Yunica’s campaign. I liked it more than Hugo’s, and I started to appreciate the enemy design a lot more. I love the art style and how it combines with the engine. Definitely the type of Ys I personally enjoy the most.


Will come back later for my last play through as Claws.

Good story, very twin peaks, but the gameplay gets old way too fast, some of the chapters were a drag to finish, I will probably going to see the rest of the story (dlc's) in youtube, and will play 2 later on.

charming, creative and solid puzzle platformer.

I liked how they expanded from the first game, but I didn’t care much for the story. The real ending can be a little tedious and the final boss battle is kind of underwhelming.

Still this is better than the first one, i like inti creates

Amazing gunplay, but overwhelming and repetitive

Videogames shouldn't feel like a chore, and after 35 hours, this game started to feel like one, maybe I will go back to finish it, but at the start of the sixth chapter I decided to stop.

I have lots of respect for the Ys series, I like how it has managed to keep it refreshing with each iteration, but I think I'm better with Ys Origin style than 8s

Pretty good game, nice exploration, combat sometimes can feel like a button smasher, and the story is anime, plain and simple. So little to no reason for me to push through it, if I did it may affect the good image I have of the game, it's just not for me.

I would say I liked this less than X, I find the mavericks weaker, not as iconic as X, some of the upgrades are intrusive, and overall easier than X, which is not precisely a bad thing.

fun but not my cup of tea, might try again in the future
