Party Adventure UPS Ys X: Nordics Review
I’m always in awe at the dedication that long-running Japanese game developer Nihon Falcom has for their legacy series like The Legend of Heroes and Ys. Most game franchises this long in the tooth might have gone through some reboots or massive changes in style or direction at this point, but not Ys. This series is a lot like Final Fantasy in how each entry can update and reinvent itself, but each game still features the same protagonist Adol Christin and the same sort of high-fantasy, treasure-hunting vibe that the series is so closely tied to. Well, all except for Ys IX: Monstrum Nox, which shot for a wildly different tone and atmosphere that was honestly a welcome change of pace. While Ys X: Nordics introduces just as many meaningful changes to the formula, it ends up coming a lot closer to being the sort of bright and vivid expedition adventure that the franchise has been known for.
