My 7 year old niece has been playing and enjoying Ys Origin (with unc's guidance), gameplay, music, story and everything. She quickly grew into a skilled gamer but she struggles with full 3D games that use both analog sticks. She and her sister finished Astro Bot and Metroid Dread (with their dad's help/guidance) before this. Decent resume!
Man... I fucking love Ys Origin. In my gaming heaven there is an entire popular genre of similar games with higher budgets, better level designs, and richer visuals. It's unique in how it feels and controls, the camera angle, the 2D X 3D mishmash, I love it. Why aren't there more games like this outside Ys? I saw some recommendations but none of them are similar enough! At this rate my attachment to Ys Origin may one day rival Svennoj X VR and Bralod X LoD.
Bonus: The soundtrack is so good. Genesis Beyond the Beginning, Water Prison, Silent Desert, Scars of the Divine Wing, and Memory of Solomon don't stop playing inside my head! HELP ME!!!
