Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim Review
★★★★★
★★★★★

A necessary reinvention for the Ys series, Ys VI has good bones, with its charming aesthetic and fun, fast-paced new combat system. But it feels like that reinvention isn’t all the way there yet - while it’s often good, a few stumbling blocks (an unfun weapon, one or two awful dungeons, some meh boss fights and a merely okay soundtrack) stop the game from really singing and taking off the way the best Ys titles do. Still, it’s a major step up from Ys V and feels like the series is heading in the right direction and regaining some of its identity.
