10/10

Tales of Arise's Beyond the Dawn DLC tells a new story set in a world on edge. It takes place one year after the base game, with the party reuniting to deal with some lingering aftermath effects from the merging of Rena and Dahna. However, that more grandiose element of the story takes a backseat when the party meets Nazamil, the daughter of a Renan Lord and a Dahnan.

Almost perfect if not for the nitty-gritty. If it’s quite there but not enough to push the boundaries, it’s still an awesome game.

Tales of Arise: Beyond The Dawn is another chance to adventure with Alphen and the rest of the gang. Bosses are still too big, and said boss also have too much health. While it's not meant for everyone, fans will get exactly what they want from this expansion.

Still, the experience felt complete for the most part, and the developers stated multiple times that no DLC expansion would ever be released for it.

Tales of Arise: Beyond The Dawn plays it safe, extending its universe for devoted fans without breaking new ground.

This earnest, occasionally awkward epilogue to Tales of Arise isn’t essential, but it packs enough delights to reward returning fans.

It's been a couple of years since the release of Tales of Arise and we now have DLC that extends the story so let's see if it's any good.
