    [​IMG]GiN has reviewed the J-RPG Tales of Berseria:

    Tales of Berseria Delivers a Darker, Deeper RPG Adventure
    Tales of Berseria is the sixteenth entry in the main series of Tales games, and breaks a lot of the storied traditions of the franchise. Berseria boasts the very first female main protagonist of the series, as well as a plot bordering on darker aspects than Tales of Graces', "Power of friendship" storytelling vehicle. Berseria is a prequel to 2015's Tales of Zestiria, which is actually a relative first for the series as this game takes place in the same world as Zestiria but at a significantly early point in time. Berseria boasts a high emotion revenge plot with a protagonist that self-destructively follows a path of perdition rather than righteousness. So, does Berseria soar above other entries in its own series, or does it have sententious flaws like Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, Xillia 2, or even Zestiria? Let's find out.

    [...]

    Overall, Tales of Berseria is an extremely strong entry in a very storied franchise. It's a tale of characters that normally would never have the spotlight in this kind of series and their fight on the wrong side of history, which makes the plot exceedingly fascinating. The combat is fine-tuned and robust, with difficulty options that allow hardcore Tales fans to ramp up the difficulty, or allow a more inexperienced action RPG player to still enjoy the whole of the game. Berseria is certainly not a game that should be missed by Tales fans or RPG fans in general.​

    Is this game any good? I've never played a Tales game but this looked interesting.
