Ys: The Ark of Napishtim

A very solid classic Ys game, as always. Good music. Fast paced action battles. Difficulty wasn’t as high as Felghana, but bosses still required a little observation and learning to beat. Only three gripes. There was a really weird mechanic you had to master to get some of the off the path items. It was a long jump, which had a very specific button combination and timing. I eventually got it though. Also the final boss was EXTREMELY underwhelming compared to other Ys games. There was no fast-travel mechanic. Luckily the area the game took place in wasn’t that large, so it wasn’t too terrible. 7.5/10
