Ys I & II Chronicles PSP
Ys I & II Chronicles on the PSP is a 20-year-old game design with a 10-year-old coat of paint on it, finished off with the gloss of an all-new soundtrack. Only consider it if you know you’re in the mood for an intentionally obtuse, old-school journey that’ll have you searching for an online guide in the first five minutes – or if you just really want to see a man defeat his foes by slamming straight into them with his face. That long history of remaking and re-remaking these same adventures has given us some great editions of them over the years, but unfortunately it’s bad news for this latest reissue on the PSP. Ys I & II Chronicles has a killer new soundtrack and some fairly new art, but underneath the pretty paintjob is still just feels old.
