Ys: The Oath in Felghana

[h1][b] TLDR: A good continuation of Adol’s adventures, but a bit more on the harder side than I expected. [/b] [/h1] [h1]PROS: [/h1] ➕Outstanding port quality ➕Voice acting [h1]CONS: [/h1] ➖Some less QoL than previous ones - save points versus save anywhere ➖Healing is RNG based (drops) instead of usage based ➖Brutal difficulty [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/Synikx/recommended/223810?snr=1_5_9__402]Ys 1 & Ys 2 review[/url] [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/Synikx/recommended/312540?snr=1_5_9__402]Ys 6 review [/url] Game order path here: https://www.digitalemelas.com/index_ys.php I’m following the release path. [h1] [b] Content (Game world/Narrative) – [6/10] [/b] [/h1] The game world has a look and feel similar to the previous Ys, Ys 6. You have a smallish world map that connects to about 6 different areas. The entirety of the world then consists of exploring the areas inside the zones.
