#49 - Guardian Heroes - Xbox 360
An incredible beat em up from Treasure, besides its great, stylish sprite work, its memorable soundtrack, GH offers a cool, replayable adventure thanks to its branching paths and stories on top of its multiple characters and light level up system, story is wacky as a trademark of the studio, gameplay is satisfying and challenging enough, just a ton of fun.
#48 - Ys Origin - PC/NS
Best Ys game, as a prequel it manages to get a lot right in setting up the events of I & II, with a good enough story that doesn't drag too much in its exposition, at this point I have only done Yunica's route from the 3 playable characters, really like her, is like an Adol but with more personal drive and a personality. One of my favorite things about playing Ys games are the bosses, and Origin delivers well on creating very fun ones, they are the driving force of challenge in the series, between the zen grinding sessions in the levels, another of my favorite things from it is the music, I love the tower structure, every time I finish a boss I know I'll get to hear a new music track for the next main floor, this soundtrack in particular being my favorite of the series, and another thing I appreciate the most from the series up to this point, the simplicity and short lenght, is a nice, comfort ARPG.
