101 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A big update to the combat from Ys 1/2 makes the combat more involved, but also comes with its own issues.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is composed by the legendary Falcom Sound Team jdk who spared no effort in providing a range of songs from slower and more relaxing adventure songs to the classic Ys rock songs which are upbeat, energetic, and incredible to listen to even outside of the game.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics of the game are nice, the small images on the Steam Store screenshots are a bit misleading, be sure to zoom them out to see the more detailed version.
