Tales of Berseria Remastered Reviews
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.

Tales of Berseria Remake is a welcome release to update the greatest tale of the Tales series to the modern settings. However, unlike the previous Tales remakes, the additions are empty beyond the addition of the DLCs. Still, it's worth purchasing if only to get a higher quality version of one of the greatest titles of the series.
Tales of Berseria Remastered is a bizarre pick for Bandai Namco to update, but it is uniquely the most adult title the series has put out.
Tales of Berseria Remastered preserves the essence of one of the last decade's greatest RPGs, but it needs much more to convince players to pay full price.

Playing Tales of Berseria now through this remaster, I’m reminded (once again) of why I shouldn’t let past entries in a series deter me from trying future games in a series. Berseria is fun to play and features a cast of characters you’ll enjoy to watch as they make a mess of things. A great JRPG to hop into if and when you’re feeling a bit vengeful and all reason is lost.

Tales of Berseria Remastered may be the least necessary or helpful remaster I’ve ever played, but it’s still a good RPG well worth playing for those who missed it the first time around. Too many one-dimensional dungeons and combat, which, at times, is too complex for its own good, stop it from reaching greatness, but its unique story and cast of characters set it apart from the genre and make it well worth your time.
The remaster of Tales of Berseria primarily delivers a more pleasant gameplay experience, with its many small quality-of-life features creating a smoother flow throughout the game. Its strengths in storytelling and its fantastic party of strong-willed characters and antiheroes—who bring plenty of slapstick alongside their serious backstories—have, of course, been retained. However, this remake should mainly be seen as an option for those who previously skipped the game or want a portable version for the Switch (2). In terms of content, nothing has really changed, and you’ll search in vain for any new additions. Our review therefore reflects the perspective of players who are unfamiliar with the original.

Tales of Berseria Remastered plays it safe, delivering improvements in textures, resolution, and frame rate while keeping intact everything that made Tales of Berseria one of the great classics of the Tales franchise. The remaster doesn’t offer many compelling reasons for players who already own the PS4 version to upgrade, but the graphical enhancements make it the perfect entry point for those who have yet to experience Velvet’s journey of revenge.

"A remaster that respects the original's identity" Tales of Berseria Remastered delivers a compelling JRPG experience built on emotional storytelling and character development, with a fast-paced and fluid combat system that maintains the original game's identity. The remastered version focuses on improving usability and adding content rather than a technical overhaul, a decision that makes the experience smoother and more complete, especially for new players. Despite some limits in the graphical improvements, the game's powerful story, deep characters, and masterful sound design ensure it remains one of the series' most memorable and narratively impactful experiences.
