WTMG’s Leo Faria: “Ys X: Nordics is, hands down, one of my favorite entries in the franchise thus far. I really enjoyed the “Vikings meets pirates” theme, the characters, the naval encounters, and without a shadow of a doubt, the fast-paced and cathartic combat system. I didn’t mind that the plot isn’t exactly that memorable, as this is not what we’re here for. It does its job, giving characters reasons to go where they need to go, and do what they need to do. The plot pacing has improved, and the visuals now look just a mere half decade behind the trends, and not two generations behind. All in all, this is a must-have for Ys and JRPG fans. NIS America and Falcom keep improving with each new entry, and I can’t wait to see what else they can come up with in the near future.”
