    Tales of Arise is so well done with the story, graphics, battle system, music, characters and voice cast that it is a must-play for anyone. Even if you aren’t normally a big fan of role-playing games the story is so compelling there is a lot to love here.

    Tales of Arise is a genuinely exceptional JRPG that does little wrong. The reworked combat mechanics aren't perfect, but in the grand scheme of things that doesn't matter. Its storytelling, character development, visuals, accessibility, and PC version quality have all been produced to world-class standards. Bandai Namco should be proud, and fans should be thrilled.

    Tales of Arise sets a new gold standard for traditional action JRPGs. This stylized adventure's presentation and lavish production is a treat for anime fans and RPG enthusiasts, and it brings new life to the long-running Tales series.

    Tales of Arise brilliantly succeeds in breathing new life into the Tales Of saga. With its universe and its successful characters, the title delivers a striking adventure that takes advantage of superb environments thanks to a unique graphic rendering. The fights are not left out either since they show great intensity with always more spectacle, sometimes even if it means confusing the action. If we can blame it for his clipping, its talkative side, or its redundant bestiary, we still salute its many qualities which suggest good for the future of the series.

    The Tales series makes a triumphant return with Arise, a game that delivers excellent, highly polished RPG action that stands above its predecessors. Despite being a RPG, Tales of Arise features a rich combat system that makes the title contend with some of the best action games released this year.

    Tales of Arise is a strong addition to the "Tales of..." series that will surely satisfy those looking for a worthwhile JRPG experience. However, we must point out the timidity shown in not innovating and limiting itself to a standard scenario and a predictable structure. Perhaps that's why people love the series: because they know what to expect. So, if you do too, feel free to invest in Tales of Arise.

    It’s not an absolute slam dunk for the return of the Tales series, but it’s a solidly-crafted JRPG with a great battle system and fabulous environments to adventure through. It’s a shame the dialogue and story don’t match the stellar work done elsewhere, but on the whole it’s still a trip well worth taking.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. JRPG中顶级的画面,一流的演出,优秀的人物设计,happy end,絢香的歌喉,这些都足以成为我给出高分的理由。可惜通关后内容太少,缺乏重复游玩的动力。 Expand

    El gameplay es bastante bueno, podemos controlar hasta 6 personajes y tenemos varias opciones para configurar el gameplay a nuestro gusto. LaEl gameplay es bastante bueno, podemos controlar hasta 6 personajes y tenemos varias opciones para configurar el gameplay a nuestro gusto. La historia es decente, es bastante simple, toca temas como el perdón y el amor cayendo bastante en lo cliché la verdad, igualmente cumple, pero se esperaría más de un rpg. Los personajes son bastante variados y carismáticos y lo considero uno de los puntos fuertes del juego. La banda sonora cumple, no me pareció tan memorable, pero sigue estando bastante bien y épica en algunos momentos.
    En general un juego bastante bueno, lo recomiendo bastante.

    Dünya, karakterler ve bu karakterlerin gelişimi güzel işlenmiş, hikaye ilk başlarda çok jenerik olsa da sonlara doğru güzel açılıyor.

    Dünya, karakterler ve bu karakterlerin gelişimi güzel işlenmiş, hikaye ilk başlarda çok jenerik olsa da sonlara doğru güzel açılıyor.
    Grafik olarak 4k'da görsel şölen oluyor, animasyonlar, parçacık efektleri, karakter modellemeleri iyi olmuş. Optimizasyon da çok iyi oyun boyunca 4k 60 fps'nin altına düşmedim, stutter yaşamadım. Oyun sürem boyunca herhangi bugla karşılaşmadım.
