There’s so many games in the series now, and I’ll never play them all, but the characters and the narrative and the combat mechanics of Berseria just click with all of my tastes so well. For some, the lack of gameplay innovation might be a turn off, but for me, a classic Tales gameplay system combined with a unique narrative led to a fantastic experience. Fans both new and old would be doing a disservice to themselves if they didn’t check this game out.","2025-02-10T13:57:09.611591-05:00",{"id":83,"logo":406,"name":407,"slug":408,"tags":125,"bluesky":409,"twitter":407,"youtube":408,"facebook":407,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":410,"website_url":411,"score_format":46,"average_score":378,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":49,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":412,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":413,"editor_in_chief_email":414,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FTheSixthAxis-Logo.jpg","TheSixthAxis","thesixthaxis","thesixthaxis.bsky.social","All the latest videos gaming news, reviews, guides, and opinion.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.thesixthaxis.com\u002F","aran@thesixthaxis.com","dom@thesixthaxis.com","teflon@thesixthaxis.com",{"id":416,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":417,"author":418,"original_score":425,"normalized_score":319,"review_url":426,"review_date":427,"summary":428,"created_at":429,"updated_at":429,"author_id":419,"last_edited_at":429,"outlet":430},104326,141,{"id":419,"bio":26,"name":420,"avg_score":421,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":422,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":423,"claim_token":26,"article_count":424,"claimed_by_user_id":26},9104,"Kimberley Wallace",76.53061224489795,"2025-03-26T08:05:29.24295-04:00","2025-03-26T08:21:11.580766-04:00",49,"7.50\u002F10","http:\u002F\u002Fwww.gameinformer.com\u002Fgames\u002Ftales_of_berseria\u002Fb\u002Fplaystation4\u002Farchive\u002F2017\u002F01\u002F23\u002Ftales-of-berseria-review-game-informer.aspx","2017-01-23","Tales of Berseria is the darkest Tales game, but it's\nalso the most human. It tackles complex themes in relatable ways, like betrayal,\nrevenge, and how pain brings out the worst in us. This makes it shine, and is a\nstep in a right direction after coming off the disappointing Zestiria. However,\nBerseria still has its missteps when it comes to pacing and dungeon design.\nEven so, I liked the shift to a more somber tale that gave me plenty to think\nabout during - and even after - the journey.","2025-03-26T08:11:25.336281-04:00",{"id":417,"logo":431,"name":432,"slug":433,"tags":26,"bluesky":26,"twitter":434,"youtube":435,"facebook":436,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":437,"website_url":438,"score_format":46,"average_score":47,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":49,"headquarters_city":439,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":440,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":26,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fgameinformer.jpg","Game Informer","gameinformer","GameInformer","@gameinformer","officialgameinformer","Over 30 years celebrating the best of games in print and online.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gameinformer.com\u002F","Minneapolis","United States",{"id":442,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":117,"author":443,"original_score":449,"normalized_score":58,"review_url":450,"review_date":427,"summary":451,"created_at":452,"updated_at":452,"author_id":444,"last_edited_at":221,"outlet":453},27448,{"id":444,"bio":26,"name":445,"avg_score":446,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":447,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":448,"claim_token":26,"article_count":240,"claimed_by_user_id":26},2867,"Jake Dekker",74.28571428571429,"2024-12-04T12:18:26.50976-05:00","2025-11-19T06:08:51.602824-05:00","7.0","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespot.com\u002Freviews\u002Ftales-of-berseria-review\u002F1900-6416604\u002F","A touch of evil.","2024-12-04T13:53:04.164052-05:00",{"id":117,"logo":454,"name":455,"slug":456,"tags":457,"bluesky":458,"twitter":455,"youtube":456,"facebook":455,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":459,"website_url":460,"score_format":46,"average_score":461,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":49,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":462,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGameSpot-Logo.jpg","GameSpot","gamespot","[  \n  'corporate_owned',\n  'online_media'\n  ]","gamespot.com","GameSpot is the world's leading source for PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, PS Vita, Wii, PC, 3DS, and DS video game news, reviews, previews, trailers, walkthroughs, and more.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespot.com",71,"thussain@fandom.com",{"id":464,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":465,"author":466,"original_score":472,"normalized_score":33,"review_url":473,"review_date":427,"summary":474,"created_at":475,"updated_at":475,"author_id":467,"last_edited_at":475,"outlet":476},38235,50,{"id":467,"bio":26,"name":468,"avg_score":469,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":470,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":278,"claim_token":26,"article_count":471,"claimed_by_user_id":26},3763,"Mike Guarino",75.15151515151516,"2025-01-16T10:35:12.354776-05:00",33,"4.0","https:\u002F\u002Fattackofthefanboy.com\u002Freviews\u002Ftales-of-berseria-review\u002F","Tales of Berseria isn't a reinvention of the series, but it delivers a more emotional story mixed with a great combat system to make this adventure worth taking.","2025-01-16T10:36:22.590899-05:00",{"id":465,"logo":477,"name":478,"slug":479,"tags":480,"bluesky":26,"twitter":481,"youtube":481,"facebook":482,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":483,"website_url":484,"score_format":77,"average_score":108,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":49,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":26,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FAttack-Of-The-Fanboy-Logo.jpg","Attack of the Fanboy","attack-of-the-fanboy","[  \n  'independent',\n  'inactive',\n  'online_media'\n  ]","FanboyAttack","AttackoftheFanboy","Covering everything you love from Anime, Gaming, Movies, and so much more!
