Ys is a long running series that doesn’t get a lot of attention. I’ve played a couple of the games but Ys Origin for the Nintendo Switch is the first time that I’ve really given the series a fair chance. Is Ys Origin worth a look or is this an entry in the long running series that you should skip? Ys Origin isn’t a modern action/rpg. It is most definitely an old school action rpg. The game’s story is a…

We’ve seen a lot of Metroidvania’s on the Nintendo Switch but what about a Metroidvania that combines elements of an rpg and a visual novel? Enter Even the Ocean for Nintendo Switch, a hybrid of sorts: one part Metroidvania, one part rpg, and one part visual novel. Is it any good? Even the Ocean isn’t defined by just one genre. At first glance, its a Metroidvania. And then you see its world map and you think “oh its an rpg”…

Recently, I checked out the Mass Effect Andromeda demo. I had never played this Mass Effect before. I didn’t know at first that I had just downloaded the whole game and I had a ten hour trial to check it out! And so I played the game for about 7 hours and I have some thoughts on Mass Effect Andromeda! I have played the first couple of Mass Effect games. I liked the first one more because it was much…

A long time ago, I played an Ys game on the SNES. I thought it was okay. Then more recently, I played a demo of a recent Ys and thought it was not too good. So I’m not an Ys fan but I am open to the series. One of my favorite youtubers, Happy Console Gamer, is a huge fan and I trust his opinion. And when I was offered a review copy of Ys Origin for Nintendo Switch, I…
