    By adding an enthralling tale packed with rich, engaging characters and an ever-looming man-versus-nature conflict, Nihon Falcom has crafted a game that’s incredibly hard to put down. There are no real “Everything’s okay now, we can rest” moments in Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana. The struggle isn’t over until everyone escapes the island...I’m somewhere between 35 and 40 hours in, and it doesn’t look like I’m getting off anytime soon. That’s fine. I’ve got everything I look for in an action RPG right here.

Your story is nice, with a lot of mysteries, and the main dish is that amazing battle system, it's very fast, so you don't get bored. Play it on the "Inferno" mode, is way more difficult than any Dark Souls style games.

    Every Ys fan should take this game :D    … Full Review »
