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.
