Ys: Memories of Celceta is not the best Niohn Falcom game, or even the best Ys game. However, it is a great remaster of an older game and a good entry for newcomers. Despite all its flaws, the entertaining story and the addictive, fast-paced combat system turn Memories of Celceta into a “memorable” experience

Ys: Memories of Celceta is a good game. This PS4 port just doesn’t do enough to make it stand out in the current market, however.

In spite of an ending that leaves much to be desired, Ys: Memories of Celceta is a great action-RPG that re-contextualizes a decades-old franchise for a modern audience.

Ys: Memories of Celceta is a fine port, but there is plenty of room for improvement. Fans of the Ys series should enjoy it; all others should check out some videos beforehand.

Ys: Memories of Celceta remains the best that the incredible ARPG series has to offer. Although it hasn't changed much over the years, it's cool that those who missed it on PlayStation Vita can now enjoy it on PS4.

Time hasn’t been kind to some aspects of Ys: Memories of Celceta but a great combat system, now free of technical issues, combined with an amazing soundtrack brings this action RPG together into a great package once again all these years later.

Ys: Memories of Celceta is a fast paced ARPG. Although it has been optimized into full HD resolution with 60fps, it will take some time for your eyes to get used to the new graphic vibe. If you're a long running fan of the Ys series, you can add another fun element of trying to find 'what has changed' from the 4th installment of the Ys title.

Ys: Memories of Celceta is a great time, it’s got some wildly fun combat, a simple and intuitive crafting system, and a cast of characters that really grow on you. Not to mention a solid runtime of anywhere between 20-30 hours. Perhaps more depending on your play style and difficulty setting. I know I’ll be checking out some more Ys titles in the near future.

Ys: Memories of Celceta takes the opportunity of passing on the Sony flagship to reveal that it has always been a must play for all JRPG lovers. With its complete and rounded gameplay, its compelling story and a really interesting overall proposal, the title of Nihon Falcom and Marvelous no longer really offers any excuse to those who hadn’t been able to approach this previously. Celceta Forest, in its mysterious enormity, has never been so close, and it’s calling us all.

Ys: Memories of Celceta is a JRPG pearl like no other. A progressive storyline, different playable characters and a flood of items. If you don't mind watching a more than dusty graphic for about 20 hours, you will definitely have fun with the title. On the other hand, if you have played the version on your PC or PS Vita, the new features of the PS4-Version are too small to play the game a third time.

Ys: Memories of Celceta is a game where it’s more about the journey than the destination. Every portion of the map presents a new discovery, and that becomes wildly satisfying across the 20-hour runtime. The story elements and flimsy side-missions don’t always help with the overall engagement, but that doesn’t really matter when the battle system is just so much fun.

Nice graphics, a tuneful soundtrack, and an interesting supporting cast, each with their own compelling stories, round out the package that should be a no-brainer for those who haven’t yet played it.

Between the exhilarating action-orientated combat and the neat explorative elements, Ys: Memories of Celceta offers plenty to excite RPG fans. Don’t get me wrong, it doesn’t really do anything too unique from an RPG standpoint and the story embraces all of the hallmarks of the genre in an almost predictable manner, but it certainly does a good job of providing an entertaining adventure that’ll keep gamers hooked in right until the very end. Whether you’ve played an Ys game before or you’re completely new to the franchise, Ys: Memories of Celceta is a very easy title to recommend for action-RPG fans.

Ys: Memories Of Celceta is a diffetent type of Action/RPG, most of the times we expect great stories and mostly good gameplay from these sort of games but here, it is the other way around and a serviceable cliche story is combined with a great gameplay and it actually works!
