Critic Reviews for Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition

I'm of two minds with Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition. On one hand, this is the most complete version of easily the best Tales game in the last ten years.

While Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition doesn't make an major changes to the original game that launched over a decade ago, it does combine practically every piece of exclusive content into one wholesome package. With the benefit of some improved visuals in both cutscenes and gameplay, it's very difficult to recommend this JRPG classic on any other system than Nintendo Switch thanks to how well it performs in both docked and handheld modes. If you've ever slept on this classic, there's never been a better way to rectify that error.

Fitting for a game called ‘Tales' Vesperia spins a good yarn, but ultimately the game is showing its age.

Tales of Vesperia offers an exciting journey and a great gameplay for anyone who mastered it, but suffers from the poor quality of some of the elements that are not suitable for RPG games at the moment.

A great game that it's still valid and fun, despite being excesively linear and cliche-yd for the modern times.

Formulaic but not always predictable, this remains the best of the Tales series and one of the definitive Japanese role-players of the 2000s.
