I loved playing through Tales of Arise. My biggest complaint is that the story in the beginning was pretty slow but once you get through about 70% of the game, it kind of feels like the last 30% of the game is actually 60% of the game. Overall still really enjoyed it.

An Epic Tale of Freedom and Unity Tales of Arise is a captivating JRPG that combines classic series traditions with modern innovations. From an emotional storyline to dynamic gameplay, it offers an engaging journey that appeals to both veterans of the series and newcomers alike. It’s not necessary to have played previous Tales of games to understand the story or characters. Story In a world where the people of Dahna suffer under the tyranny of the neighboring planet Rena, an unnamed masked hero rises to fight for freedom. Alongside a mysterious woman cursed by her powers, the group stands against their oppressors, uncovering a larger threat that endangers both worlds. Strengths ✔️ Compelling Storyline: Tales of Arise delivers a powerful tale of oppression, rebellion, and unity. The themes of freedom and understanding are emotionally gripping and keep players invested until the end. ✔️ Impressive Visuals: The anime-inspired art style, detailed environments, and vibrant character designs create an immersive and breathtaking experience. ✔️ Dynamic Combat System: The action-packed and fluid combat system is both challenging and rewarding, allowing for creative use of Artes and Boost Strikes. ✔️ Memorable Characters: Each character has a unique personality, intriguing backstory, and crucial role in the narrative, making the journey feel personal and meaningful. ✔️ Outstanding Soundtrack: The music perfectly enhances every moment, from epic battles to emotional story beats, and stays with you long after playing. Weaknesses ❌ Repetitive Environments: Some areas feel less inspired and can become repetitive, especially during extended exploration. ❌ Difficulty Spikes: The first major boss fight can be exceptionally challenging, even on the lowest difficulty setting. ❌ Grindy Endgame: Completing optional content or preparing for tougher challenges involves repetitive tasks, which might deter casual players. Achievements There are 58 achievements available here. To unlock all of them, you’ll need the Tales of Arise - Beyond the Dawn expansion. The achievements span the main story, optional bosses, and various gameplay-specific challenges. These include finding all the owls, unlocking all recipes, and mastering the training grounds. While none of the achievements are missable, the endgame can require significant time and patience, particularly for the tougher challenges. (Not) Recommended for ✔️ Recommended for • Fans of story-driven RPGs with emotional depth. • Players who enjoy action-packed combat with strategic elements. • Fans of beautifully animated cutscenes and exceptional voice acting. ❌ Not Recommended for • Players expecting a fully open-world sandbox experience. • Those who dislike grind-heavy or highly challenging content. Final Verdict [I]Tales of Arise is a shining example of what a modern JRPG can achieve. It blends the classic charm of the series with contemporary gameplay innovations and is a must-play for both fans and newcomers. Despite the difficulty spikes, the overall experience remains unforgettable. 😊 Note: My playtime does not reflect the actual duration of the game.

Rating: 5.5/10 A Decent Game, But Heavily Targeted at Early Teens If you're in your early teens, this game might just hit the spot. However, for anyone older, especially those looking for a more mature narrative, you might find the story lacking depth. The plot feels overly focused on cliche themes like "the power of heart will solve all problems" and "friendship can conquer everything." These concepts, while appealing to a younger audience, don't resonate well with those seeking a story that acknowledges the complexities and consequences of real-life situations. The lack of significant repercussions in the narrative is a major downfall, making it feel more like a fairytale than a mature story. On the gameplay side, things are more positive. The battles are engaging, and the ability to choose your difficulty level is a welcome feature, allowing players to tailor their experience based on how much they want to grind. The music and animation are solid, providing a pleasant auditory and visual experience throughout the game. Notably, this is the first game in the series to use the Unreal Engine, which is a significant step up from its predecessors in terms of technical capabilities. The engine switch has clearly paid off, delivering smoother gameplay and more impressive visuals. In conclusion, while it's a decent game, its focus on early teen concepts and unrealistic ideologies—like the protagonist's relentless "fight against your hate" mantra—can be difficult to stomach. The constant forgiveness of murderers and the overly simplistic view of good vs. evil make it hard to fully enjoy the story. If you're looking for a game with a more nuanced and mature narrative, this one might not be for you.

My first Tales game and while there were flaws, I enjoyed it overall! The game has a memorable cast that have great chemistry and the combat is fun once you get the hang of it. However, it can feel a bit too grindy at times. The world you play in very beautiful, in fact, there were times where I'd stop moving just to take pictures of the scenery! However, if you are someone that values good writing, you may not appreciate the second half of the main story. The quality of the writing takes a complete nosedive. So if that's a deal-breaker for you, you may not like the game.

Great Game! Don't buy the DLCs. TRUST ME ! It feels like I'm 11 years old playing Tales of Symphonia for the first time in my grandmother's basement all over again.
