Although the game is different in all but franchise name. My sentiment towards Ys Origin is the same as the very first two Ys games (excluding the confusing navigation). It's a great, short old school action game with an amazing sound track and a serviceable story. I always have a soft spot for games which take place in one big structure which you have to ascend but don't get it twisted. Just because the game has one set piece and location doesn't mean the environments or monster variety is boring. Falcom managed to make the tower feel fresh on every floor in terms of environment and game-play whilst still keeping it grounded too by giving subtle ques to remind you that it is still a tower which keeps the environment from being too far fetched. The bosses are the main highlight of this game. All of them are super unique and somehow every boss despite being mostly gimmick bosses, are successfully implemented which is a very hard feat to achieve (for an unsuccessful implementation, refer to the dark souls series and their mostly clunky and poorly made gimmick bosses such as the bed of chaos still love Dark souls though). I'd endorse this game to anyone who enjoys good action games.
