By far the best feeling combat/just flying around in any space game (for me). Story is okay. Exploration is fun until you get to repetitive things, but can still be fun even then. The biggest plus besides combat is the variety in ships, weapons and builds. I 100%'ed that game in 70h on the hardest difficulty, and they will keep adding content.

A fantastic game that, unfortunately, doesn't get the public recognition it deserves.
Definitely a 10/10 action RPG with good story, superb soundtrack and VERY fluid and fun gameplay.
Only downside are the graphics, but if you don't need 2021 AAA graphics then it's more than fine.

Amazing game, loved it from beginning to end (100% achievements run).

I think I actually liked the second half of the game more because of more movement-based abilities and platforming sections, however the first half was also really great because there you learned most of the enemies and their patterns, which is very important.

Big "Recommend" from me!

Best ARPG on the market.
Great developers who actually care about their game and community.
3-month cycle for expansions and major content updates.

And it's free. Try it out.

Awesome free-to-play experience

First off I'm gonna say I've beaten the game 100% and I enjoyed every minute of it!
This game runs perfectly fine for me and is so far my favourite of the Ys series.
-Combat is fluid. Enemies and bosses are challenging (I'm playing on Nightmare)
-Exploration is fun. There are many little things to do like fishing, side quests, raids and hunts. You have to come back to some areas later and I noticed that the monsters seem to somewhat scale with your level
-Journal keeps track of everything and you can see how much you completed in each area and how much % of materials/armour/recipes/etc you found, which means it's fun to 100% the game
-Many quality-of-life features like being able to save everywhere, equip multiple adventure gear items, swap skills and items mid battle (not boss battles), and more
-Music is FANTASTIC. Not only fantastic, but so far for me one of the best OSTs of all Falcom games
-Story seems to be really picking up at around Chapter 3. Story in Ys games was always good but never the main point. In this game though I'm REALLY interested in what's up with the people and the world. The characters are really charming and I was emotionally connected to them.

I only encountered very few issues that have now been fixed with patches. In my now ~85 hours of playtime my game crashed twice, both times I didn't lose much progress because of convenient autosaves.

I highly recommend this game to every JRPG fan and in my opinion it's a must-play for fans of the Ys franchise.

Simply one of the best multiplayer games ever made.

Fantastisches Spiel!
Ich kam her mit geringen Erwartungen und wurde überrascht mit einem genialen Soundtrack, viel Spielspaß und einem gewissen "Ach komm, noch einmal!"-Faktor.

Ich empfehle dieses Spiel jeden, der auch nur annähernd Roguelike-Games mag. Oder jeden, der eine rhythmische Herausforderung sucht.

Das Spiel ist zur Zeit der Review noch in Alpha (Early Access), aber es ist bereits viel Inhalt vorhanden und ich bin gespannt, was in Zukunft noch so kommt!

Nur... wieso versuche ich alles im Rhythmus zu machen, wenn ich das Spiel doch bereits beendet habe...? Es bleibt einfach im Kopf.

Awesome game! Make sure you pick it up!!!
