    Great game. Bought it a 2nd time.

    1st off, I already owned a physical copy of this for the PS4, but as a long time fan of the Ys series, I had to buy this again here on the Switch. The reason? Well, besides being able to take it on the go now, the main reason I bought it again is because on the PS4, you cannot pause the game during boss fights, And being that I have a nerve disability that effects my fingers, I bought it again, because you CAN pause it during bosses on the Switch, simply by hitting the "Home" button. My fingers get stiff & sore on some games, mainly button mashy ones with 10 + minute boss battles, so I sometimes have to rest my fingers for a few seconds. Simply put, I bought this again because the Switch version solves that problem of not being able to pause. I love the Ys series, and have most all the games released in the USA, and this is the 1st in the series that that irked me by having the problem of not being able to pause during boss battles. Odd game design choice, if you ask me, but I found a way around it. Thought I'd let people know that have a similar problem.

    A good game for the fans of Ys series

    Ys Origin is an action rpg with three playable characters. The third character is locked in the beginning. To unlocked the third one, I think the player needs to finish both characters' routes. (So far, I only finished the game once with the female character) Each character has their own skill and battle style, so it makes the game more interesting. The story is great, and the soundtrack is always enjoyable; in addition, it has a lot of replay value.

    Decent entry but frustrating

    Taking things back to classic action RPG days, the run and quick pace of Ys Origins is fun at first. However, even on normal difficulty the game can quickly take a frustrating turn. Many mechanics are not explained well and if you don't take care to explore every nook and cranny, you'll be at a huge disadvantage later. Unlike other games where it rewards you for going off the beaten path, this game its a requirement. Also, having to go to the menu yo activate an items effects definitely shows its age. Decent gameplay and music but the story is lackluster.

    Fun and Fast Action RPG

    Ys Origins is a fantastic action-RPG that represents one of the best games in this long-running series. You get to play as a melee-based knight or range-based wizard and engage in fast-paced, real-time combat. In typical RPG (and Ys) fashion, you will need to grind experience to level up from time-to-time, but the action is so good that it doesn’t slow the game down. Ys Origin is highly recommended for anyone who enjoyed Ys: Oath of Falgana or anyone who wants a great action-RPG.
