SPOILER FREE REVIEW. Having played 'Tales of' games for quite a number of years, I can honestly say I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Berseria. While being a darker tale than previous games, it still feels very much part of the series. Namco Bandai have definitely taken on board fan feedback since previous installments and have produced an almost perfect (in my opinion) product. The battle system has been overhauled again, but it's definitely gone in the right direction, feeling far more fluid and giving you much more variety in how you fight. Traversal is similar to before aided with a few things such as a ship to move from town to town, items that do the same and a hoverboard to move across maps faster. I was expecting the story to be much shorter than it was too. I generally tend to do EVERYTHING in a game before completing it but since I was so invested in the story and wanted to finish it up before going back and tying up loose ends I clocked in at just under 80 hours. Without spoiling much of the story, Berseria is connected to Zestiria hugely. Not initially obvious, the further into the story the more it will come out. This definitely isn't a bad thing and did give me some genuine jaw dropping moments during the campaign. It also gives some clarity to some questions fans may have after playing Zestiria. All in all, if you're a 'Tales of' fan, you probably already own this, but if you're just looking for a great JRPG Berseria definitely delivers. Not to put anybody off that hasn't played Zestiria, this can be played without any prior knowledge of the world, but trust me... you will want to play Zesteria after this!
