Incredible Journey of life

Characters and story in this world is top-notch. I have played a number of Tales of games, and Berseria stands out among the others. It has created an ever engaging quest for revenge, reason, and life. ( I got this game on Steam due to a huge sale)

Though tales of Berseria is one of the most engaging jrpg based on story, it falls short on the combat system and world exploration. To note some few sections where they can provide some adjustments:

• Battles system is a bit clanky, sometimes slower due to restrictions. The start was specailly harder to get used to, fortunately, it gets more enjoyable the longer you play due to exanding roster of artes and battle mechanics.
• There are no over world (world maps) where players can freely travese similar to previous games in the series, limiting exploration and world connectivity.
• Paths tend to be linear, except to dungeons with simple puzzles.
• Geoboards, a vehicle for travel, is quite difficult to utilize and does no add much fuction aside for defeating weaker enemies and unlocking ways to reach another area.

Despite the drawbacks, may be minor or a deal breaker depending on your type, tales of Berseria is a very engaging game, some of my positive take aways are:

• The story will absorb you right from the start to the end.
• You will want to explore the uniqueness of the playable characters as they have distinguished playstyles and great character development.
• Superb and true voice acting, I sometimes interchange English and Japanese voices when available, but I stick to English in this one as it is full of life.
• Indulging and refreshing Minigames, skits, and sidequests. What I like about Tales of games is how they do amusing minigames, and Tales of Berseria did not disappoint. Skits are entertaining, and there are few to no dull conversations; you may even giggle (or tear) a few times.

It has been a while since I played a jprg so absorbing beacuse of the narrative supported by the series true and unique values. If the other challenges are addressed, this may easily be one of the top jrpgs. (Already one of the best in the series. ). I simply can't emphasize enough how I liked the story and characters (developments).
