YS 9 Monstrum Nox (Next Gen Version) Review (Playstation 5)

YS 9 Monstrum Nox Review

THE STORY

YOU PLAY AS ADOL AND HIS FRIEND DOGI VISITING BALDUQ WHICH IS A PRISON CITY.  AS SOON AS THE PAR

ARRIVES ADOL IS PLACED UNDER ARREST AND SENT TO PRISON.  HE SOON BREAKS OUT AND ENDS UP

BEING A PART OF THE MONSTRUM CREW TO HELP FIGHT OFF THE ENEMIES.

THE PRESENTATION

THE MUSIC IN THE GAME IS VERY GOOD. IT'S ONE OF THE BEST MUSIC IN THE GAME SINCE THE NEIR

SERIES.  THE AUDIO IN THE GAME IS A BIT OFF SOMEWHAT BUT IT'S DECENT.  GRAPHICS IN THE GAME

FEELS LIKE AN ANIME TO A DEGREE WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO THE GAMEPLAY AND CUTSCENES. NOW

THE WHOLE OVERALL PRESENTATION IS VERY FAST AND FLUID SINCE IT'S AN UPGRADE ON THE PS5 SIDE.

THE GAMEPLAY

YS 9 MONSTRUM NOX IS A ACTION RPG THAT HAS EXPANDED ON ITSELF COMPARED TO YS 8. YOU CAN

CONTROL MULTIPLE CHARACTERS THAT CAN BE SWITCHED IF YOU WANT ON THE FLY.  THE GAME IS PLAYED

FROM A 3RD PERSON PERSPECTIVE. THERE IS THIS ABILITY CALLED SP WHICH GIVES THAT UNIQUE

SKILL ATTACK WHICH CAN ALSO BE RESTORED BY ATTACKING ENEMIES OR BE REGENERATED FAST

WHEN NOT ATTACKING.  NOW RETURNING TO THIS GAME IS BOOST MODE WHICH CAN INCREASE ATTACKS

IN THE GAME ALSO DECREASES THE DAMAGE THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE IN THE GAME.  NOW TO THE

YS SERIES IS THE TRAVERSAL ABILITIES WHICH IS CALLED MONSTRUM GIFTS WHICH IS RUNNING UP

ON THE WALLS AND GLIDING.  THERE ARE TONS A TREASURES IN THE GAME THAT YOU CAN COLLECT

ALONG WITH FINDING HIDDEN SECRETS IN THE DUNGEONS AND IN THE WHOLE CITY.

THE FLAW

THE MAIN FLAW IN YS 9 IS THE FACT THAT THE GAME DOES GET STAGGNET WHEN IT COMES TO THE

WHOLE STORYTELLING IN THE GAME.  IT DOES GET BORING AND THE STORY JUST BECOMES UNINTERESTING

AFTER AWHILE.  NOW WHEN IT COMES TO THE GAMEPLAY IT DOES GET VERY REPETITIVE WHEN IT GET CLOSER

TO THE END OF THE GAME WHICH  IS WEIRD.  THERE WERE SPOTS WHERE I GOT STUCK TRYING TO GET THE

TREASURES AND NOT ONLY THAT THE TREASURES SOMEHOW END UP DISAPPEARING WHEN YOU GO LOOK

FOR IT.

THE RESULTS

FOR THAT I GIVE YS 9 THE NEXT GEN VERSION A 4 OUT OF 5.
