10/10, nothing more to say

Every single time I decide to play, I always end up looking over at the clock and realizing it's 2 am and not knowing where the evening went.

10/10, would keep playing.

Edit: 2022, the above is still valid.
Edit 2: 1.0 is even better than the beta's!

The best of the Tales series, without a doubt, played very little so far - but it's exactly as I remember it on the PS.

After completing a multitude of the campaigns, I mostly find myself asking whether or not this game needed to be open world.
I love the franchise, but I'm not convinced this is what they needed to do to "spice it up".

I'd say it's mediocre at best, but definitely strayed pretty far from what one would expect from Dynasty Warriors / Samurai Warriors.

Edit: Spelling

The game was alright, it's not as good as the other batman games, if you're not sure which ones to get, I would advise to pass on this one.

It's still a Batman game, it's still good overall, but as others say, it's the black sheep.

Game itself is fantastic, everything around it is garbage. (Peer2Peer, bad matchmaking, horrible team balancing).

I recommend you pass on the game, or wait for a good sale, the value is definitely not there for this one.

Story was decent, a little shorter than I expected, but it's a good quality port. If you can get it on sale, I think it's worth the price tag.

Playing with a keyboard was a little difficult, I would suggest a controller if it's available to you.

Pretty strong game overall, the story reaches this kind of lull about midway through, then things start to pick up again. I was quite entertained by the end of the game, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Like most JRPG games, this will feel like a grind at some times, and will be quite entertaining at others.

Graphics are solid
Solid gameplay
Darker storyline as opposed to most other Tales games
Decent team

I also thoroughly loved the connection to the Zestiria universe as well. It ties in very well, though it does kind of spoil the end a little.

Got the game on sale, not sure it's worth its full price, but for the sale, it's damn good.

- Strong quality port,
- Has 4k support
- Solid 60 FPS
- A pretty decent online coop

Quite impressed with Koei Tecmo for this one.

PS: I would probably recommend a controller for this game, but I'm sure it can be played without one as well.

I definitely starved in this game, and a lot.
