Tales of Zestiria Review "A good RPG, but not a great Tales game" | My Games Lounge

A full review of the latest Tales game from MGL

"More than worthy of your time, but far from what the Tales team are capable of. A great first foray for Playstation 4 first-timers, but here's hoping the next installment does a better job."

It's definitely decent, but the story has some pivotal moments that often feel rushed. Battles are ok and characters are likeable; I can say that much.

a big Tales fan but the series is getting stale, the franchise needs to take it up a gear in production values or change the art style to something like Vesparia, it's low cost but still the most attractive Tales game.

Star Ocean 5 has similar game design and it's the the game I most look forward too now.

I am picking this up this week . Some stories I like that others don't and vice versa. But if they gameplay is good and story is decent at worst I will enjoy it. Ibplay these with my daughter so I get more out of it than some others.

NewMonday3473d ago

one thing I love is that battles now don't have different screen transition.

This game deserves a much higher score than the average ones it's getting. It's fantastic! I love all the Tales games but I'm enjoying this much more than I did Xillia

I just finished it 10 minutes ago. While it is fun, my biggest gripe is that often it feels like you're traveling through a maze as there's not always a clear indication of where you should go. Often I had to consult walkthroughs to help me out. I also thought the main character was a bit cheesy though the characters in your party are memorable making traveling through the world more bearable. Otherwise the combat is good and lots of content, It took me 40 hours to finish it and I didn't do all the quests or fight the optional boss monsters

slappy5083473d ago

Oh yeah another strong point is the music is great! I'd sometimes just run around on the map and enjoy the music. I need to get some of those tracks from youtube

I always found the series fun, but not $59.99 fun. Like bargain bin type of fun.

The Tales Of series are some of the best RPGs I've ever played, and the characters are a big reason for that. I don't think I played a single game in the series that I didn't enjoy. Rest in peace.

Damn, that sucks to hear... His designs were always wonderful.

RIP, sheade some great designs, man it's one after the other this year

FinalFantasyFanatic409d ago

We're 3 months into the year and I feel like we're taking nothing but L's.

autobotdan410d ago

Wow she was the character designer for Tales of Destiny one of my favorites of all time =(

scorpio_2049410d ago

I love the Tales games. Phantasia will always be my favorite. Ironically I felt like as the series progressed the character design became too “anime cliche.”

Dragon's Dogma and XCOM 2 are the best deals. The rest of the games are still overpriced. I would say 8.99 is good for AC: Origins, but you need to put $10 more into MTs to avoid the grind that slows down the story. So, the game is actually 18.99.

It's not on this list, but Pathfinder: Kingmaker is only $9.99. This is a deal if you have a current gen. consoles, as it runs poorly on prev. gen.

I beat AC origins without grinding or spending any money on MTX?

anast1058d ago

I had to grind for side missions. So, did many other people.

HeliosHex1059d ago

Has anyone been able to login in to the ps store on ps5 I haven't been able to in days and my network is good.

RedDevils1058d ago

Reset or shutdown your PS5. I always can go login to PS5, in fact just a moment ago.

HeliosHex1058d ago

Ok thanks I'll try that

HeliosHex1058d ago

Hey thanks again. Although the shutdown/reset didn't work i found that resetting the mdm and hub did the trick. I use a Lan network instead of wifi. In case anyone has a similar setup and problem.

RedDevils1057d ago

I forgot to mention about the router reset, that usually do the trick when it come to network problems happen with iphone/android. btw np

It’s really it’s own story , but like anything takes some inspirations from other sources, fantastic game so far, you absolutely don’t need to have played other tales games at all to enjoy this to its fullest.
