While Ys Origin feels like a relic of the mid-2000's, its fast paced combat still stands the test of time and should satisfy fans waiting for Ys VIII's global release.

Critic Reviews
Ys Origin Review
When it comes to action RPGs, Ys Origin ranks among the elite. It's fair to point out, however, that the Xbox One port could have been better. Sure, the slight load time increases and lack of controller options are nitpicks, but the original game was released in 2006. Surely these minor details should have been accounted for. More egregious is the stuttering. Although it doesn't go far enough to ruin the port, its presence is unjustifiable. Still, whatever the format, this phenomenal classic can't be passed up.

The acclaimed Ys series is twenty years old this year and, as if to coincide with this anniversary, Ys Origin has finally made its way onto PS4 and PS Vita. And the fact that Ys Origin was originally released in 2006 is no detriment to it at all.
