    Este JRPG, es uno de los mejores que he jugado en buen tiempo, una historia basada en venganza, unos personajes que lo llevan y atraen a uno a través de la historia, un combate en tiempo real, y una cantidad de equipo que cambia tu estrategia en el juego y otra que solo cambia tu apariencia, (como el gorro de vaquero y gafas estilo Ray ban que yo uso).

    Una historia que te envuelve, personajes que te atraen, un combate muy divertido con muchas combinaciones y estilos para adaptarse a diferentes situaciones, chistes y momentos cómicos que hacen que este juego sea muy entretenido, si eres nuevo en los Tales of, este juego es perfecto para que entres a esta saga, si ya eres conocedor, este es una carta de amor para los fan por parte de Bandai Namco Games.

    Para los cazadores de trofeos, este juego tiene una lista un poco difícil que te va a retar tus habilidades para conseguir tus anhelados premios.

    Para finalizar, es un juego que debes tener en tu repisa o en tu colección digital, es un juego para los amantes del rol, es un juego para los nuevos o los viejos conocedores de esta serie, es un juego que hace que el inicio del año empiece de buena forma.    … Expand

    LOL game of the year, but the price of PS4. You can of course still many things to write, but usually there are people who write reviews usually do not differ in mental development.

The opening was beautifully and the band is great. The story is dark and has a purpose for why ur doing what u doing with each character point of view and not just throw people in and try to make them fit in like (zestria did aka rose). They have u walk between whats good and bad in there world who iis trying to protect them and who really trying to be a god, and the story pulls at the feels.… Expand

    As a long time Tales fan this game is a welcomed title to such an amazing franchise.

The story and characters take a risky turn from the norm of the Tales series and features a cold but understandable anti-heroine bent on revenge which as a JRPG gamer barely see in games nowadays. The battle system is tricky at first but after hours upon hours playing it became more and more enjoyable figuring out combos that work well for the advantage. The equip system which was reused from Zestiria in my case better than the original but still can give the user a headache at times but managing it all is the most rewarding aspect. Berseria is a wonderful entry for the series and to date with it's in-depth battle system and incredible OST makes for a enjoyable experience for any gamer to pick up.… Expand

    This is my first tales game and holy crap what have I missed?! I am so entertained!! and love the combat combo system. This was a surprise for sure and with my DreamScreen setup, it's so freaking beautiful. Love the dark theme and emotion driven vengeance story. How many times have I wished to be her to get vengeance and express that which I've lost in life!

    Bland and redundant. Dpes not really do much for the RPG environment nowadays. Nothing terribly creative. Seemed like they just needed to throw out another title.

    This might be the best Tales Games since Vesperia.
    I am a big fan of the series, but I didnt like the PS3 titles so much, they were good. But nothing more.
    I missed these masterpieces, like Vesperia or Symphonia.
    Berseria might not be as good as them, but by far better then the last few games.
    Especially because of Story and Characters.

    This game is just like Zesteria was. The combat is pretty bland, and offers little depth. The graphics and animations are sub-par, not they're terrible. Overall I had a poor experience after playing the Japanese import. And not I do not play for story.

    The combat system is the best it's ever been with fluid controls and the ability to customize your own combo strings, it's never been so newcomer friendly while still allowing the long time fans to take full advantage since the more you know the better your attacks will be. If someone finds the combat broken or unbalanced then there's a good chance they either haven't played the game or they just don't have the knowledge to make the character they play as truly great.

    The sound design is fantastic. The music sets the tone very well and enemy noises will always fill you in on when you need to be wary and what kind of enemy it is that is approaching you. The voice acting is the best it's ever been in a Tales game, with an all-star cast who clearly knows what they're doing. The graphics tend to be hit and miss with people, while it's mostly due to the style of the game it can tend to look a little rough to players who expect every game to look (and have) a AAA budget, but the graphics never once detract or distract from the game.    … Expand

    The game's combat, story, and characters are all great. The skills and abilities are all easy to learn from different sets of equipment.

    Objetivamente hablando sigo pensando que el título anterior hizo mejor una o dos cosas Sin embargo, en el resto de apartados Tales Of Berseria lo supera ampliamente.

No solo es un título idóneo para iniciarse en la serie gracias a lo refinado de todos y cada uno de sus apartados jugables, la historia y personajes son para el recuerdo, a la altura de los mejores JRPG que os puedan venir a la cabeza.

    Aunque todo se sostenga gracias a su excepcional sistema de combate en tiempo real, mas refinado que nunca, Berseria sobresale en contenido y actividades opcionales, en permitir (ahora mas que nunca) que el jugador este siempre al mando con los reajustes en el sistema de artes completamente personalizables, y no menos importante, que Velvet pase a nuestros corazones como algo mas que un simple escote, sino como uno de los mejores personajes que ha parido el género.

    Y demuestra que esta saga no es la Fast-Food del género JRPG como suelen decir por ahí medios mas sensacionalistas del videojuego, sino que puede mirar cara a cara a la élite del género, situándola en el mismo escalón que Final Fantasy y Dragon Quest.

    Solo su desfasado apartado técnico lo ha alejado de nuestra calificación mas alta, pero no ha impedido que el viaje de venganza de Velvet y compañía se convierta en uno de los mejores títulos del año, aunque este acabe de empezar.    … Expand

    Finally, after so many years we received a new great Tales game. Berseria is fantastic, Velvet is a pretty good protaganist and the support character are memorable (my favorite character is Eizen), it's way better than the last Tales game, "Tales of Zestiria", and after play Berseria you should be hyped for the future of the franchise.

    Despite simple, painfully dull dungeon designs and PS3 era graphics, it’s one of the best Tales games in years. The story is really sound, the combat system is solid and interesting, difficulty levels are properly balanced at last, character development and crafting are addictive and players are introduced into the world at a perfect pace.

    Having played some of the previous Tales games, I can definitely say that Tales of Berseria is the best title in the series. What makes it even more appealing is the fact that you don't need to have played Tales of Zestiria or any other game in the same universe to be able to play the new one.

    In some ways, this is the most innovative Tales game for years. In others, it's still stuck firmly in the past. [March 2017, p.78]
