VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Apart from that small blemish, Ys Origin is a terrific console port of a solid hack 'n' slash action RPG. The action is fast and furious, the boss battles extraordinary, and the story and characters engaging and enriching. The biggest drawback is a serious case of wanderlust, as the tower's narrow confines prevent any meaningful exploration. Even so, Ys Origin is an easy recommendation for fans of actions RPGs and dungeon crawlers, or for PS4 owners who want to dive into the Ys series."
Ys Origin flashes back centuries to celebrate an RPG legend.
I've been playing through it for the first time on the Switch. It's pretty good. It's scratched my action RPG itch a bit and it's a unique game for the series. I would love to see a 3rd person remake one day.
COG writes: As Ys IX: Monstrum Nox for the PS4 has now arrived we thought it's the perfect time to rank the 8 Ys games of the series from the worst to the best.
Ys: Memories of Calceta was the best Vita game I have ever played. It was perfect on that system.
MonsterVine: "Ys Origin is a good entry into the series with a stronger focus on dungeon crawling than most of the other games it is related to. "
