Tales of Berseria Remastered Reviews
Tales of Berseria Remastered fulfills its role without grand ambitions. It's a more complete and accessible version of a game that was already solid in its concept, especially by including all previously released additional content, from updates to DLCs. Still, it's hard to ignore the feeling that this relationship could have gone further. The technical improvements are welcome, but subtle, and have little impact on those who have already experienced the original version, especially on PC and PlayStation 4. In this sense, the remaster seems more relevant as an entry point for new players or for those who had the opportunity to experience the title on new platforms.

I didn't like any of the gameplay elements of Tales of Berseria Remastered, but its story, soundtrack, and characters captivated me so much that I could tolerate its bizarre combat system, repetitive levels, and clunky customization.

Tales of Berseria Remastered doesn’t bring many significant improvements over the original 2016 game, but it still features dynamic combat, an interesting world, charming characters, and a beautifully tragic story that I would recommend to JRPG and anime fans. I had a great time playing as the evil - or rather, good - Velvet, and I’m sure you will too.

Although this remaster might feel optional on other platforms, on the Xbox Series, *Tales of Berseria Remastered* is presented as an installment that can finally be experienced in its most complete form...

Tales of Berseria Remastered offers several new quality-of-life features that are great for new players but not necessary for longtime fans who have already experienced all the game has to offer.
Tales of Berseria is a JRPG with a strong story that keeps you hooked as a player. However, the remastered version feels unnecessary due to the lack of clear improvements in both gameplay and graphics. Nevertheless, the game is especially worth the money for new players.

Tales of Berseria has a great narrative that keeps the player engaged throughout the entire game. Furthermore, the remaster brings graphical improvements and runs perfectly well on the Nintendo Switch. For those who have never played any title in the series, this is a great entry point, especially since it's fully localized in Portuguese. Despite some combat issues, the game still delivers the fun you expect from a good JRPG.

Tales of Berseria Remastered brings back one of the most unique chapters in the franchise, featuring a fascinating story, memorable characters, and a truly compelling combat system. Given that the title is still one of the most captivating JRPGs in the recent history of the genre, it remains to be seen how successful the remastering process has been. From this point of view, Bandai Namco is following the same line already seen on previous occasions, combining subtle technical upgrades, the inclusion of released DLCs, and a wide range of quality of life improvements. Perhaps more could have been done to give Velvet Crowe's revenge a new memorable life. However, the title is and remains the best way to experience this great episode of a historic saga.

Tales of Berseria Remastered may not really add much to the base game, but it's still a fantastic JRPG that you'd be a fool to miss.
The Tales of Berseria re-release is Bandai Namco's effort to preserve the original game, making it available on all current platforms and slightly more accessible to modern gamers. A number of quality-of-life improvements streamline the experience, making it the best way to enjoy this title today. If you're a fan of the series and haven't played it yet, you're in luck: don't hesitate and jump right in. And if you haven't tried any Tales Of game yet, it's a fantastic entry point into a series of video games that, once you start, you'll find yourself wanting more.

Don't get me wrong, I would advise everyone to play the game, but if you've already played it, Tales of Berseria Remastered offers virtually no added value. However, if you haven't played the game yet, this is obviously the most logical place to start, provided you have an extra twenty bucks to spare compared to the original.

Tales of Berseria Remastered brings one of the best stories in the franchise to modern consoles, but the Nintendo Switch version never quite feels like a true remaster. Content-wise, there are some welcome quality-of-life improvements, yet graphical hiccups and a capped framerate prevent it from fully living up to that label. It’s still one of the strongest stories the series has to offer, but sadly not the best remaster.
Tales of Berseria Remastered is puzzling. For those who have never played it, it is a great JRPG experience with arguably one of the best stories in the series, featuring a great protagonist. The improvements and additions to the game are very welcome and add value that make it the definitive edition to play. That said, if you've already played the PS4 or PC version, Tales of Berseria Remastered might feel unessential, adding stock to the questionable choice to remaster this title over the other ones that are locked behind older hardware. You can even just play the PS4 version on your PS5 already and get it over with, especially since the visual improvements are negligible unless you place both versions side by side.
Tales of Berseria Remastered stands out from the other projects that come out every year in a strange way. This one adds more Xbox and Switch systems that can play the games and improves the performance of the older ones.
Tales of Berseria Remastered is worth it for those who never played the original and want to experience one of the most mature stories in the franchise on current platforms, now fully localized in Brazilian Portuguese. The engaging narrative and well-developed characters make up for some of its shortcomings. For those who have played it before, however, the improvements are subtle and may not justify a new purchase. The frustrating combat system and lackluster progression prevent the game from standing out among the best in the series, but it remains a solid entry point for newcomers to the Tales of franchise.

A visually stagnant retread of a modern classic, Tales of Berseria Remastered struggles to justify its price tag for returning players. While Velvet’s dark, vengeful odyssey and the tactical Soul Gauge combat remain series highlights, the meager 4K polish and basic "cheat" toggles feel like a missed opportunity for a deeper overhaul.
Tales of Berseria Remastered refines the experience with QoL upgrades and DLC, preserving the strength of Velvet’s vengeance-driven journey.
Tales of Berseria Remastered honors players who are both aggressive and aware. Overextending leaves characters open to damage, while carefully chaining increases the chance of stun and elemental advantage. Combat rarely seems unfair, but on harder levels, where enemies are stronger and do more damage, you have to pay more attention.
Tales of Berseria: Remastered offers Nintendo Switch owners the opportunity to experience another good game from the Tales franchise. While this remaster doesn't bring many significant changes or visual improvements, Berseria itself is a good game with an interesting cast of characters and a combat system that expands on some of the ideas from previous titles.
