Ys: Memories of Celceta PS4 Review

ys-memories-of-celceta-1280x720.jpg

Ys: Memories of Celceta by Nihon Falcom is the latest remaster to reach the PS4 and is due to hit the UK on June 19th. My first experience of the Ys series was Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana and it got me hooked.

The game centres around beloved adventurer Adol Christin who returns from a trip into the great forest having lost all his memories (he can’t even remember his own name!) so decides to go on an adventure to regain his memories whilst mapping out the surrounding forests that dominate the region of Celceta, meeting a colourful cast of characters along the way.

The voice acting in this title is minimal which can make the long conversations tedious, disrupting the flow of the main story and the graphics are limited considering it is on a PS4. This can be forgiven however as the soundtrack is excellent and really sets the tone.

One of the most enjoyable aspects in this game is exploration, the game actively encourages you to explore every corner of the world with rewards for unlocking a certain percentage. Monsters found in the overworld can be fought in real time, battle can be fast paced but requires strategy when choosing when best to dodge, guard or pause for a split second to recharge your SP gauge which allows you to unleash some skills. Timing for dodging and guarding is another important component to battle as correct timing triggers flash move or guard, giving the party a chance to counterattack and deal extra damage.

Your battle party is maxed out at 3 but can swapped on the fly mid battle. Battles work with each party member having their own set of skills and a type of damage which some enemies are weak against, each party member also has a field skill allowing them to interact with the world to solve puzzles and further that all important map exploration.

One thing I struggled to adjust to is that you cannot change the camera angle, only zoom in and out. It didn’t affect the gameplay too much, except for when I’d forget and try to turn the camera to look around the corner of something only for the camera to instead zoom in on my party.

Overall, I really enjoyed my revisit to the Ys series and it was refreshing to see how much it has progressed, it’s reaffirmed why I got addicted to this series in the first place and I can't wait for the next title.

Ys: Memories of Celceta for the Playstation 4 launched 9th of June in the US, and 19th of June in Europe ,Australia and New Zealand.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II - Playstation 4 Review

The-Legend-of-Heroes_-Trails-of-Cold-Steel-II-Logo-768x432.jpg

Just a few months after The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel was released on PS4, the sequel has now had the remastered PS4 treatment setting us up for the much-anticipated release of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III this fall.

Trails of Cold Steel II is a great addition to the franchise which continues to build on the original, it continues straight after the events of the first game which makes playing it a necessity. The story begins with a mission to reunite all you beloved classmates. With such a huge mass of characters and even more being added it’s easy for cast members to fade into the background, however this game manages to not only keep all the characters involved in the story, but to continue to build their character arcs and bonds throughout the game whilst tying all the components of the story into a neat little bow by the end of the game.

The overall heart and soul of the Trials games remains true with cold steel II with some very welcome additions (except the snowboard minigame, I am terrible at that).

So what are these additions? The sequel offers much more freedom as you are no longer tied to the academy as your base of operations and you are not forced to have a set party for your assignments, instead allowing you to handpick your party before disembarking on story elements.

You begin the story at level 40 with all crafts being carried over from the first game, initially I thought this would be an issue as it wouldn’t allow for character growth, however I was pleasantly mistaken as each character learns new crafts as well as upgraded versions of previous crafts. With the level increase comes an increase in difficulty, making using tactics during battle all the more important.

SKvGlml0.png

The battle system still maintains the combat link system but this has been expanded with the ability to now overdrive with your link partner allowing you to take 3 turns there and then, this can completely change the tide of battle. This feature is only available once you have searched out and completed the trial chests for the relative characters which features defeating some difficult enemies.

9BZTq4ue.png

The battles with Valimar are very much still rock,paper,scissors but a new element has been added with your party members linking up with the ashen knight to take part in the battle too.

There is a slight issue with the framerate at times when the battles get a little bit hectic, but overall The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II is a solid addition to the franchise and is Falcom continue to build on this for Cold Steel III, I for one will be pretty pumped for its release.
