Finished in 64 hours on Hard mode. The game was great — story, visuals, gameplay, and characters all delivered. A quick tip for Nvidia card owners: turn off the in-game anti-aliasing option and enable it through the Nvidia Control Panel instead — it really makes a difference!

Lacrimosa of Dana is Ys at its absolute finest. The interesting story, the charming characters, the environments, the battle systems, everything is on point in this one. I should note that I haven't played Monstrum Nox or Nordics quite yet, but this is my favorite Ys game to date, easily. This is one of those games that will leave you thinking about it, long after its over. It leaves a positive and lasting impression. Buy it and play it now!

I absolutely loved the setting and exploring the island while trying to find the next castaway. I adored all of the main characters and most of the NPCs, and the story gripped me until the rolling credits. The combat was good too, but it's not the main thing I look for in my games. 10/10.

Damn, what a story! I found this game randomly on Steam and decided to give it a chance... Truly an awesome game with a dynamic combat system, great exploration, an amazing story, and compelling side quests. I’m now eager to learn more about the Ys series, this was my first one, and it was breathtaking!
