    Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA is a wonderful game, but this PS5 upgrade doesn’t do much to justify its existence. You get the DLC and an obtuse 120 fps mode, sure, but you’re basically still getting the exact same experience as if you played the PS4 version on a PS5 or Pro. The game itself is highly recommended, but console upgrades should have more features and this feels like less than the bare minimum.

    There's no question that Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana is a beloved entry in the franchise. However, bringing it to the PS5 offers next to nothing to the entire experience, bringing only the most miniscule of adjustments, another Trophy list, and a free PS5 upgrade.

    An almost straight PS5 port of the same wonderful Action-RPG that premiered on PS Vita in 2016. [Recommended]

    NIS America released a good implementation of the game for the PS5 with "Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana". The new adventure with turn-basedNIS America released a good implementation of the game for the PS5 with "Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana". The new adventure with turn-based battles can convince, only experiencing small shortcomings. The graphics and controls look and play very neat. For this, the excellent soundtrack can convince any fan. Thus, players of the PS5 can definitely pick up "Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana". Especially fans of the series should grab it again for the special contents of the Deluxe Edition.… Full Review »
