I am enjoying this game, the story and mechanics are really good, Battle System is really good too although I need to get better at the controls for the combos and specials. The only minor thing are the graphics, in some scenarios you can see the pixels there but nothing too bad.

Y's gives the Switch a solid action RPG. Light on plot, but heavy on charm, Lacrimosa of Dana is a great experience (enhanced by a fabulous soundtrack) and not to be missed!

One of the best Ys games IMO. So far having a blast exploring and getting castaways to join up! Playing in un-docked mode as it does look a lot better than docked on the tv. Enjoying the game a lot and a must have for Ys fans. I skipped the PS4 for the switch version and it was worth it.

Though there are many Ys games, any one is a good entry point as the stories are not connected. Fast action rpg with a dope metal soundtrack.

Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana is a great JRPG. After I finished Xenoblade and Mario Odyssey, I was worried that I wouldn't have anything to play, but when I hear Ys was being ported to the switch, I was excited. I really love this game. I love the gameplay mechanics, characters and story. It includes 18 DLC, and Ys VIII adventure plus. For anyone who is contemplating, it is a must have for the Switch.
