"Tales of ..." fans know what to expect, but for anyone who hasn't played Tales of Berseria, then it is important to know that the game mechanics and fighting styles are very well-rounded and the gameplay and fighting are easy to pick up. Having said that, the main game can be completed anywhere from 30-50 hours, based on your play style. Although, there are a few things that seem to be a bit over-developed/forced if you are looking to 100% the game. Functions like fusion and unions are well explained in the game, but unlocking the achievements required quite a bit of grinding for me. *ALSO* If you intent to 100% the game (56/56 achievements), then you will have to buy the DLC for Alisha's story, which currently runs $9.99 USD + tax. I bought this game quite some time back and worked to complete many other "Tales of ..." games and when I picked it up and was nearing completion of my first playthrough, I only had about 30 achievements unlocked. I didn't know that 6 of them are gated by he DLC. Just wanted to give a heads up as your cost to 100% the game will be the game's base cost + Alisha's DLC. Not my favorite "Tales of ..." game, but not my least favorite, either. Some parts of the game and world are not as intuitive and I ended up spending hours just researching the achievements and some of the potentially missable quests/events during the first run. I also worked my way in difficulty levels as quickly as possible. Your mileage will vary. I still have 9 more achievements to unlock, some are related to equipment/union and the rest are related to the EX dungeon(s). I play fast and don't skip cut scenes/skits, but after reading, I do normally prompt for the next line to speed things up a bit. I anticipate that my full steam runtime will be ~83 hours after completing the remaining achievements. Update: It took right around 85 hours for me to complete. I had to go through all of the NG+ stuff, even skipping scenes it took longer to reach the black mirror challenge than I had expected.

Kind of a 3/5. Get it on discount, preferably a deep one. Perfectly fine if you feel like dropping it midway because it will feel kind of a drag at times. Not worth for NG+ imo. I'd say it's a good enough game to get it on sale and maybe finish it once.

Zestiria has several interesting ideas that set it apart from the rest of the series, along with an entertaining cast (Edna and Lailah are my favorites, but I also grew to like Rose and Alisha later on – and Zaveid is Zaveid). I especially enjoy the division between ordinary humans and Seraphim, with the latter being invisible to most people and also playing a special role in the battle system. It’s the most grounded Tales game I’ve played. Sorey’s journey is a classic hero’s journey. It’s also one of the darker entries in the series, as there’s always a certain sense of hopelessness lingering in the background. Thanks to the lighthearted party banter and humor, the tone remains mostly positive regardless. Overall, I do like the story, even if it feels fairly traditional (you could say it’s inspired by Star Wars—which itself was already extremely classical g). I particularly enjoy the game’s lore, which Berseria expands on even further. The OST is among the better ones in the series. When I think back on Zestiria, however, I also remember the long, monotonous dungeons and how boring some sections were. The combat system often feels too samey as well. Though I have only myself to blame for playing both Hexen Isle and Alisha’s DLC, which are by far the worst parts of the game. Visually the game isn’t very impressive. The antagonists are rather bland, and especially with Heldalf there’s a lack of a stronger personal connection—he feels more like a force of nature than a character. The world’s bleakness is also shown more in cutscenes and dialogue than in the actual explorable environments—Ladylake looks the same at the end as it did at the beginning, even though the world’s situation is supposedly much worse. The core themes are the darker sides of human nature (including war), nihilism, religion/superstition, and “finding one’s own path, and the strength to follow it.” Zestiria has its flaws, and it isn’t one of the best games in the series. But if Berseria’s gameplay didn’t bother you, you won’t have issues here either. I even find it a notch better in some places.

The game has a VERY slow start and it's bad at teaching it's unecessary complex systems ( I'm looking at you equipment skills and combining ). Has a low start as you open up your skills and "Artes" but if you can get pass this initial hurdle there's a very good game here I loved the story. The focus on the characters and their developments were wonderfull. The protagonist has a brother and this has been one of the few times where the writting made me believe they actually grew up together. And they nailed the "Innocent Protagonist". He's innocent but he isn't stupid. Very often thinking about the things that are happening around him, learning and growing from them. The combat can feel unfair at times, but if you take your time to learn the fights and how to better approach them you'll be able to find a way. Equipment here is VERY important, progression is NOT 100% Vertical so changing gear for a specific fight can help IMMENSILY. I noticed that by the end of the game, don't make the same mistake i did! The Camera is the game's WORST enemy. In tight areas you'll fight the camera more than the enemies. The "Mannor Dungeon" in the beginning is specially bad with this, but just power through and it gets a lot less frequent. The game is capped at 30 FPS but there are mods to unlock it to 60. I highly recommend them. For a game that came out in 2015, it still holds up graphically as well. And that's saying a lot considering the quality of anime games we have in 2025. Overall i'd say it's a great game. Rough around the edges but you'll have a great time with it if you like JRPGs. The humor is great too, it not only respects but sometimes enhances the emotional beats of the game.

Any game that actually makes me want to do all the optional content has done something right, in my book. Yeah, the plot is messy. Yeah, the combat is clunky. Yeah, Dezel actually sucks. But it has a lot of heart where it counts, and that wins me over most of the time including here.
