Tales of Berseria Remastered is the next big thing for Bandai Namco's fittingly titled Tales Remaster project, and it's... certainly not the choice I would have made. I see heaps of confusion already from fans who had been hoping the company would have chosen something that isn't available for modern consoles; it's on PS4, and thus, it's perfectly playable on PS5. Not everybody owns a PlayStation console, of course - nor a gaming PC - but still. Where's Tales of the Abyss? Or, dare I say, where's Tales of Destiny 2's true iteration?
Well, whatever. It is what it is. Tales of Berseria is still super-cool, although global versions had a bit of what I would personally consider to be unfortunate censorship. Your mileage may vary, but a particular impalement scene doesn't hit as hard at all when it's replaced with a magic spell that forms a light-infused "X" over its target. Previously, the Japanese version did not include this restriction. Alas, Tales of Berseria Remastered is nixing the stab sequence even in its homeland.
