Review: Ys X: Proud Nordics Sets the Bar as the Definitive Edition

A new review deems it the definitive package for newcomers, with bundled DLC, fresh content, plus 120Hz performance.

Overview

  • PlayStation LifeStyle’s PS5 review concludes Proud Nordics is the best way to experience Nihon Falcom’s 2023 Ys X.
  • The edition includes all previously released DLC and about 10 hours of new material centered on an Öland Island questline.
  • Additional gameplay expands with the Muspelheim timed dungeon, coliseum bouts, mana-ride races, and a new object-moving mana skill.
  • Series-first ship combat and open sailing between islands add variety to the game’s established on-foot action.
  • Technical upgrades feature a 120Hz performance option, though recent players may prefer to wait because the new content requires a full replay.
