Tales of Arise Reviews
The anticipation for Bandai Namco titles this year was anxiety inducing for me yet both releases by the publisher (this and Scarlet Nexus) wonderfully exceeded my expectations. I recommend Tales of Arise; take it neat.

For an adventure game, the graphics and story are pretty interesting, but for an JRPG, the game is lacking in a lot of elements. While it has RPG trappings, it feels far more like an adventure/action game, which is a knock against those looking for some JRPG action. The graphics, story, characters and overall package are very well done. However, it is hard to shake the feeling of the game being far more style over substance, which in general JRPG-ers are not looking for.
Tales of Arise feels like new blood in the Tales series veins, as it gathers all the qualities of the previous games, puts them together and takes them to the next level.

Tales of Arise is so well done with the story, graphics, battle system, music, characters and voice cast that it is a must-play for anyone. Even if you aren't normally a big fan of role-playing games the story is so compelling there is a lot to love here.
We can say that Tales of Arise is maybe the best game in the long running popular series and also is a step forward in its genre. Everything in this game from gameplay to graphics and story telling, are well made and together, they make a really enjoyable game for every fans of RPG games.

Tales of Arise has some technical issues, but it's no big deal. The arrival of the new title shows that the changes were really necessary for the renewal of the series, which was already getting lost in its own concept. If you're a fan of the genre or the Tales of series, you will love Arise for sure.

At the end of the day, Tales of Arise is an incredibly fun game. There are some things that I would have liked done differently, and the battle system is definitely simplistic, though these things likely won’t be much of an issue for most players. Honestly, any game that I can play for 50 hours in under two weeks and still enjoy is a great one in my book. I’m looking forward to seeing what Bandai Namco does with the franchise next — hopefully we wont have to wait until the PS6 for their next Tales project.
Tales of Arise is the perfect example of how a franchise can renew itself and achieve new quality standards. It's a JRPG with beautiful visuals and a fun, complex and spectacular battle system: a great game that you should not miss.

Despite the beauty of the world of the game and the choice of distinctive colors that look like paints in bright water colors, the game seems to suffer in showing the details of the world and its characters while playing you will see constantly while touring some monsters that suddenly appear in front of you or some characters and even the details of the world, the game provided a collection of good melodies and varied and proportional to the atmosphere of the series and voice representation in english and japanese was at a high level and elaborate.

Tales of Arise is one of the great adventures of this 2021 with a daring and modernized delivery, but that remains faithful to many of the bases of the saga. Its spectacular and fun gameplay joins a deep story with all kinds of characters which will not cost us too much to get a huge affection.

Excellent jRPG, offering a lot of hours and a lot of content after completion. Very good, dynamic combat system and great setting. The perfect game for the twenty-five years of the series, a must for every fan of the genre.

Tales of Arise is magnificent. The writing is rich and evocative, and the developers took on a major creative challenge with the themes that they decided to tackle… and did a superb job.
Remarkable visual aesthetics and entertaining fighting system but slow in presenting the story, especially at the beginning of the game.

Tales of Arise is a Tales game through and through. It's polished and consistently enjoyable, and it features an excellent combat system. The story and characters are not particularly ambitious or distinct, but they give you a fun world to explore for the 40+ hour runtime. In an era where "safe" JRPGs are uncommon, it's nice to have one that does exactly what it promises. It's not the best or worst of the series, but it is a darn fun Tales title that lives up to the franchise's name.
A new page in the history of Tales. A huge jump in quality compared to a previous game, but still as engaging as ever.

Tales of Arise is truly a masterpiece and is worthy of a game that celebrates 25 years of Tales games and that means a lot to many JRPG fans worldwide.
Tales of Arise is a masterpiece with a deep story and endearing cast that will keep you hooked as you fight for freedom from tyrants. It's the best Tales yet!
Tales of Arise is a fantastic way for Bandai Namco to revive one of their flagship series and this is the best work they could have done.

Tales of ARISE - Beyond the Dawn Edition stands out as a very beautiful port, bringing combat gameplay that, by far, I can say is very dynamic and fun — the highlight of the game. The title is visually stunning, both in handheld mode and in docked mode on the Nintendo Switch 2. It's a great addition to the Nintendo console's library, highly recommended for both novice and veteran players who want to enjoy the game on the handheld, where it's possible to play anywhere.
