Apr 2, 2026It remains a JRPG gem defined by its mature, dark narrative and frantic combat system. However, this edition feels more like a simple port than a meaningful remaster. While quality-of-life additions and bundled DLC provide value for newcomers, the nearly imperceptible visual upgrades offer little incentive for returning players to revisit this classic.

Mar 27, 2026It’s hard for me to say this, because I like Tales of Berseria a lot, but as a remaster, it’s not bringing a lot to the table. In fact, between the censorship and the audio mixing issues, I’d go as far as to say that it’s taking away from the table. The saving grace here is that it’s ten dollars cheaper than the original (at least on Steam), despite it coming with DLC. While I do still recommend playing it if you haven’t tried it before and you like JRPGs, people who have already played Berseria might as well just boot up the copy they already own.

Mar 31, 2026Tales of Berseria Remastered is an excellent JRPG, retaining the strong narrative, engaging characters, and strategic action combat of the 2017 original. The story, in particular, is a highlight, offering depth and twists. While the remaster introduces subtle graphical improvements, 60 FPS on consoles, and 120 FPS on PC (post-launch patch), these changes are largely incremental and don't justify a full-price re-release for existing fans. Many improvements are quality-of-life adjustments or previously available DLC. Newcomers will find a robust 40-60 hour adventure with good accessibility on modern hardware.

Apr 9, 2026Tales of Berseria Remastered is a really solid action RPG at the end of the day. The core game is still there to enjoy, even if I still question what qualifies it as a remaster. While it took me a while to get into the story, once it got me, it wouldn’t let go. I genuinely loved all the characters and was satisfied with how their personal arcs played out. The combat was daunting at first, but it’s pretty fun, even if later boss fights are a chore. While the release confuses me, Tales of Berseria Remastered is still a solid way to play this game, especially on Xbox and Switch. Just know you can stick with the original if you have access to it.

Mar 30, 2026Tales of Berseria Remastered preserves a title that was never that great to begin with. The potential of its darker tone and strong character focus loses impact through tedium, and the gameplay portion feels dated with its uber-linear exploration and repetitive combat. A bad game? Certainly not. A worthy upgrade? Far from it. This rerelease improves performance and visuals slightly while adding minor conveniences and DLC, yet it falls short of a meaningful upgrade. Ultimately, it’s best suited for newcomers, and its price feels hard to justify for anyone else.
