Of the Ys games that use that engine, I found Oath to be the weakest of the bunch. I enjoyed Napishtim more than Oath. That said, Ys Origin is far and away better than Oath and Napishtim combined. Play Ys Origin and you're in for a grand time.
Ys I was kind of relaxing until that last dungeon. For those that haven't experienced it, that final area is a marathon labyrinth. Hard to distinguish floor entrances, samey corridors, obscure event triggers. It's no wonder I moved on after playing Oath and I. I do have Origins among my GOG purchases, so maybe I should give the series one more try.

You should, if you got the GoG lineup try the original #1 and #2 as they're a really nice starting point to see if you can stomach it. Origins is a later one as are others so you may or may not get into them if you can't handle those. Ark of Napishtim which was also a PSP title I had some years ago is pretty decent, but it will drag again if you dislike the style of the older titles.

My unpopular gaming opinion of the day:

With a few exceptions, handheld Zelda is better than console Zelda.

Exceptions -

Console: A Link to the Past and Wind Waker are brilliant games.

Handheld: Spirit Tracks sucks and Phantom Hourglass is just OK.

General: Ocarina of Time sucks 8)
Have: Sega Genesis, SNES, Atari 2600, Atari 7800, Atari 800XL, PC, N3DS XL, Wii U, GBA, Xbox One, Switch

Want: Games!!!

I just posted this in another thread, but here's an unpopular opinion: I think Panzar Dragoon Saga is highly overrated.

For years I heard this game touted as one of the defining experiences of the Sega Saturn. I was really itching to give it a whirl. When I finally got around to playing it, I was really let down.

Sure, the battle system was novel... but I just didn't think it was that fun. PDS is only like 10-15 hours long, but it was honestly a struggle for me to get through it. I contemplated quitting multiple times because it just didn't hold my interest whatsoever. When I really enjoy a game, the ending is always bittersweet because I'm sad it's over; with PDS, I trudged through it and was relieved it was finally done.
