And for at least a few months, we have finished yet another series. (Nordic is dropping soon.) I have absolutely loved every Ys game I have played till now, but I will admit I was a bit nervous this time around. I was not hearing great things from friends about this one, so I waited this time till I could get it on sale. But I am here to tell you right now, there was no reason to fear such concerns. In fact, I think I have a new favorite of the series.
Once again we we have here another adventure with gaming's leading adventurer, Adol. (Seriously, how many characters actually claim their job title is Adventurer?) And each time we have spent time with him, I have to say I have enjoyed the hell out of it. Was this time any different? Not really... I had a blast here too. Come on in and have a peak.
And here we are as we continue to play through Adol's adventures. What started as a flawed classic has become a long and storied franchise of fun and exciting games and me eager to see each as they come up in the backlog. And this is where this game differs: when I finished the last one, I had run out of backlog entries, making this the first title I went out of my way to pick up to continue. Suffice it to say, I made no mistake doing this.
For once we have a game that hasn't spent long in my backlog. In fact I picked it up shortly after finishing Ys III and finding a gap in my collection. It then sat on the list of games to play due to the series for about as long as possible, leaving me eager to get back into battle along side our red-headed hero. Once again I was not disappointed. Come on inside.
