Ys memories of celceta metacritic1/19/2024 I mean, the visuals look a bit better but it's certainly not a huge difference. Keep in mind I played it on Vita a lot and absolutely loved it so the fact that it's basically the same game makes me realise that I could simply hook up my PlayStation TV and have nearly the exact same experience DualShock 4 and all. Of course, Ys: Memories of Celceta originally released back in 2013 so what's different in this PlayStation 4 release? Unfortunately, not much which is the most disappointing aspect for me. I mean how cool is that?! Needless to say, becoming more powerful is a very satisfying process. Doing so can apply status ailments to attacks and even HP regeneration to armour. On top of all this, the coolest system is gathering materials which you can then exchange and refine to do things such as reinforce weapons and armour. Meanwhile, you can try and complete side-quests for NPCs in order to earn extra cash and items. You'll also gather memories that are scattered across Celceta (which is the name of the game) in order to watch little scenes and acquire stat boosts. Experimenting with those to find your favourites is great fun. First, you'll slowly learn and level up skills that you can assign to each of the face buttons. As with any RPG, you level up and equip better gear but there is much more to it. The last substantial element of Ys: Memories of Celceta that I love is its approach to progressing your characters. What makes a man? Is it the power in his hands? Is it his quest for glory? It all comes together to form one amazing journey. While you travel the world, you'll also encounter a huge cast of delightful characters some of which will join your party. As you progress, you can watch your map gradually fill out with points of interest like harvest spots becoming marked which is supremely rewarding. It kind of reminds me of a Dark Souls game (although it's much more colourful and lighthearted) in that you can knock things over to unlock shortcuts, encounter super-tough enemies out of the blue, and activate new save and warp points. Another nifty aspect is that you can command your party to either attack or defend by flicking the right stick up or down for a strategic advantage.Īlthough I love Ys: Memories of Celceta's combat, its exploration is where the gameplay really starts to shine. Plus, if you really want to show off your skills, you can evade and guard with perfect timing to perform a flash move or flash guard which offer bonuses such as filling your gauges and becoming temporarily invincible while slowing time down. You can also swap characters with the tap of a button and initiate a powerful extra skill whenever its meter is full. The combat merely involves hacking and slashing at enemies while evading and guarding against incoming attacks and unleashing skills for an extra powerful blow every once in a while. Ys: Memories of Celceta is a rather simple game that's easy to pick up and play so if you're tired of learning the ins and outs of complex RPGs and just want to dive into a basic yet highly enjoyable and action-packed adventure then you'll love playing this. v1d30chumz 78-26-147-81 Collecting enemy bones is a lot less gruesome than it sounds It's the perfect game for a Ys fan and I still love playing it after all of these years. I loved the previous Ys games for their sense of exploration and discovery so imagine my delight when I played through Memories of Celceta for the first time as the whole adventure basically involves uncovering a massive map as you take on a variety of enemies, bosses, and dungeons. However, it's the game itself that ended up impressing me the most. Since then, I've enjoyed every sequel and adaptation that I could get my hands on and when Ys: Memories of Celceta debuted for PlayStation Vita back in 2013, I picked up the awesome limited edition on release day which featured a fantastic 3CD soundtrack and other goodies. I've been a massive fan of Ys ever since I played the original on PC way back in the early '90s. │ Nothing causes more disappointment than hype so at Video Chums, we avoid hyping games prior to playing them for ourselves. I'm a huge fan of the Ys series of action RPGs and Memories of Celceta is my favourite one so let's venture forth with Adol yet again. Ys: Memories of Celceta is also available for PS Vita / PSTV Maciejewski playing a PS4 on June 9, 2020
