Tales of Arise Reviews
Tales of Arise offers a superb blend of JRPG favourites, tight combat, and modern-day design choices. It's easily the best Tales game in years.
Tales of Arise takes the franchise to new heights with an emotional story, unique characters, fun combat, and more defining features.
I really think the developers have done a marvellous job reinventing this classic series for a new audience without compromising much of the key elements. Tales of Arise is sure to cause a massive stir amongst JRPG fans and the gaming community
Tales of Arise a great step toward the JRPG's evolution and a must-play for fans 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.
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.
Tales of Arise is unequivocally one of the greatest JRPG’s, ever. A tantalising continuance of a once drawn out franchise, that was in steep decline but has been reborn though this triumphant reclamation. [...] A crowning achievement in Japanese role-playing that sinks its sharp hooks in, with great appeal from beginning to end. Tales of Arise is unmissable.
Tales of Arise is a huge leap forward for the series. Combat is incredibly fun and fluid, the story is fantastic despite a lackluster finale, and the characters are as charming as ever. It's not only one of the best Tales games, but one of the best the PS5 has to offer.
The Tales of franchise never ceases to amaze us. This time it offers us a renewed experience, but maintaining its most classic essence. An action combat that leaves us with a very good taste in our mouths from the beginning of the game, a wide and efficient skill tree and how not to mention our dear companions; which complement each other and are indispensable in every combat. If I had to highlight any section, it would undoubtedly be the artistic one. Each kingdom is different and with its own peculiarities, the design of the cities, characters and their own graphics, are a delight. And if we already talk about its soundtrack and animations I would lack words to express the good finish of both.

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 masterfully blends its elements to produce a truly captivating experience. It’s surprisingly turned out to be my favorite in the franchise thus far. It may be lacking the multiplayer of its predecessors, but that doesn’t diminish the overall journey. As the first Tales game of the new generation, we’re already off to a fantastic start.
The best Tales of to date and a must have of the generation .

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.
