TOP 5 OLD GAMES OF 2017 (aka the Falcom bracket)

5. Ys Seven

Originally released for the PSP in 2010 it finally got an HD re-release this year on PC back in August. The original version of this game was my overall favorite PSP game and finally having it on a modern platform. Truthfully I haven't been able to put as much time in this re-released version, just a few hours, but it was the Ys Seven I always knew and loved. Ys Seven changed up the traditional Ys formula by having multiple playable characters that you put into a party of 3 (attacker, tank, ranged, etc) and switched on the fly as you needed their skills as well as introducing resource gathering and crafting; elements that continue into the Ys series today. The music is also some of my favorite in the whole series.

The gameplay is where the game truly shines though. Your party members move at a lightning fast pace by dashing, dodging and rolling around your enemies while you swap characters mid-combo to obliterate your enemies. The feel of the movement is just really good and puts a smile on face whenever I play it. MOST IMPORTANTLY YOU FINALLY GET TO PLAY AS DOGI!

If I had a chance to play the PC version more it may have ranked higher this year, but it'll have to settle as the 5th best old game I played this year. Make no mistake though it is a sublime action RPG and a worthy evolution of Ys' thirty year legacy.
