    Tales of Berseria (PC) Review
    I've had somewhat of a storied relationship with the Tales series. I first got into Vesperia but about halfway through it I got overwhelmed by all the side content and lost track of what I was supposed to be doing. I played about 7 hours of Zestiria but just kind of lost interest in it. Now here I am with Berseria, a prequel to Zestiria. I did manage to beat this game but it took a while and there are a few issues that crop up.

    Tales of Berseria takes place hundreds of years in the land of Midgrand and places you in the shoes of Velvet Crowe. The first hour or two introduces you to Velvet's brother, Laphicet, and her brother in law, Arthur, as you live a fairly simple village life. Then one day, you awaken to find demons have overwhelmed the town and that Arthur is sacrificing Laphicet to a red moon. You attempt to stop it but your arm gets corrupted by the Demonblight, which turns people into demons. You get thrown in jail due to your demonic arm, which can essentially eat demons, and three years later you escape with revenge on Arthur, now calling himself Artorius, as the head of a new Abbey that is bent on purging the world of demons.

    [...]

    I enjoyed my time playing Tales of Berseria as the cast of characters and twisted story make it a petty memorable game. The nuts and bolts of the game though could have used some work though, and the entire thing feels slightly undercooked and very tedious. If you like Tales game, it is certainly another one, but I'd wager that only fans of the JRPG genre, that really want to sink time into a game should venture here.

    Score: 7/10 - Good​
