It really does flip the typical JRPG experience on its head. Telling a relatable story of a good girl gone bad (for good reason!) with genuine heart, the game is a rollercoaster ride from start to finish. Thankfully, Tales of Berseria acknowledges these weaknesses and emphatically goes out of its way to put them to bed for good.įollowing the lovable but fearsome Velvet Crowe, the game weaves a thrilling tale of betrayal, destruction and revenge which blows the franchise’s repetitive blueprint to pieces. Unlikeable casts, repetitive game design and graphical stagnation all left the series in a bit of a rut. Whether it’s Xillia, Graces or Zestiria, the majority of Namco Bandai’s recent output in the series has left a lot to be desired. Since its (arguable) peak in 2008 with the superb Tales of Vesperia, the franchise has struggled to distinguish its vast smattering of titles.
It’s fair to say the past few years have not been kind to the Tales series. Our 50 best games of the year countdown isn’t in any order, we’re just going through fifty of the finest the year has given us.
