This is one of the finest action JRPGs I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing. Don’t let its immediate blandness fool you, this is a must play that should stand by giants like The Legend Of Zelda and Final Fantasy series. It’s only 2/3 the price of an average game, and comes with a soundtrack and art cards. What more could you ask for?
Stephan Adamus · Jun 25, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewIf you’re looking for a fun, challenging, and strategic action JRPG, Ys: Memories of Celceta is a great title to pick up. Though its graphics leave much to be desired, both the battle system and exploration are by far the biggest draws of the game and will easily pull you in for the entire 25-hour runtime. While the plot is a bit on the light and inconsequential side, it’s nothing particularly bad and the characters themselves are entertaining enough to keep your interest for the long haul.
Allisa James · Jun 18, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewYs: 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. If you’re new to the Ys series, you’re better off with Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana, which simply looks and plays better yet isn’t a great deal more expensive. Only ardent fans are likely to go wild about this basic port; at least until it goes on sale, anyway.
Richard Seagrave · Jun 09, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewI’m really glad Nihon Falcom and XSEED have finally released Memories of Celceta for the PS4. This might be a less complex game with a somewhat uninteresting plot at times, but its fantastic combat mechanics more than make up for those issues. Whether you’re an Ys fan eagerly waiting for the series’ ninth mainline game, or just a JRPG fan in general, there’s a lot to love in Memories of Celceta.
Leo Faria · Jun 09, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewSong of Horror is doing great things with a compelling story and great elaborate graphics and sound. The gameplay is occasionally a bit sluggish, but the tension is high at all times, which is great. For all the very small things that Song of Horror could improve, it puts down a thrilling experience that’s beyond solid, and changes things up just enough to not get bored at all.
MC_JP · Jun 09, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewYs Memories Of Celceta is yet another excellent entry in the action role-playing game series by Falcom, taking everything that made Ys SEVEN good and elevating it to new heights. Even with its small issues, such as low difficulty level and unoriginal story, Ys Memories Of Celceta is a game that all fans of fast-paced action RPGs should experience at least once.
Francesco De Meo · Aug 10, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewYs: Memories of Celceta does a fine job in hold its own for its age. While the story itself is pretty sub-par, the characters are really quite likable, the gameplay is a lot of fun and the need to have a 100% complete map of Celceta is a huge drawing force. If you are new to the series, you can certainly start with this title as it acts as one of the firsts in the series as well as the useful trope of amnesia is cleverly used to let players discover the world as the character does so as well.
Thi Chao · Aug 01, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewYou don’t have to have any previous series knowledge to play this game either. This world is completely self-sustained form any other installments in the series, meaning you can jump right in and start having fun. You can also take the fight into the Gauntlet in Time Attack mode and Boss Rush modes, these were fan favorites in the original game.
Chris Bowman · Jul 25, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewThe different characters and how their individual stories all come together really craft a great narrative. In a couple of places, there are points which seem to have been added just for the sake of it, but overall it’s a very enjoyable journey. The game is fair to you and can have its time taken with, allowing appreciation of the world that has been created. I truly believe that Ys: Memories Of Celceta could be one of the strongest Vita titles introduced since the console’s launch.
Aran Suddi · Feb 20, 2014 Reviewed on VitaRead full reviewYs: Memories of Celceta doesn’t bring anything new to the action RPG table, but makes such strong use of its combat that it’s still hard to put down. It may not have the most engrossing narrative or original ideas, but it still manages to keep you hooked throughout the course of its campaign. Thus, much like its redheaded hero, you’ll soon forget about the negative aspects of this journey and gleefully step foot into the forest of Celceta.
