Показать описание
Thanks to Bandai Namco for a review copy of Tales of Arise!

A world of nature drawn with the “Atmospheric Shader”:
We are introducing a new graphics shader, inspired by anime and watercolor painting. Characters with attractive designs travel among backgrounds filled with beautiful and delicate visuals.

Explore a world that feels alive:
Explore the world of Dahna, where a mix of unique, natural environments change in appearance based on the time of day. Climb over the rocky terrain, swim in rivers, gather around the campfire, cook food, head to the next town, defeat the master of an alien planet, and liberate the people!

Stylish action and battles:
Through the new system “Boost Strike”, you can now chain combos of powerful attacks together with your party members. Chain Artes, Boost Attacks, and Boost Strike combos to take down your enemies!

Experience the story of the divided Renan and Dahnan people:
The protagonists who will determine the fate of these two worlds are Alphen and Shionne. They will overcome hardships and grow together with their unique group of friends. Gorgeous animation by ufotable is inserted at key points in the story, adding more color to our protagonists’ journey.

Went ahead and updated the title so it stops bamboozling people on YouTube TV

It’s been so long since a game has been so good that I can’t put it down and want to stay up all night playing. For over a year now I get bored after a few hours with most games and I was worried I was losing my love for gaming but this game is soooo good.

It’s my favorite tales game aside from abyss. I’ve spent the past few days playing it nonstop. It’s so nice to have this much passion for a game again.

The cel-shading style is a welcome look that I wish more modern games would try out, especially if it would look generic otherwise. It used to be a cheat to polish boring visuals, but these days it's just a gorgeous design choice when done well.

Cowboy has such a voice dawg. The way he paces his script and explaining mechanics always has my ear opened and turns mind
Into a sponge. This guy can go on talking about a guide to eating beans and I would just be all in for it.

After almost 60 hours I finished Tales of Arise. This was my first experience with a Tales of game and I must say I am in awe. This has been a truly magnificent journey for me. The scale of the story took me by surprise. It was epic. By far my best game of 2021. L.E: I've just started Tales of Berseria and I'm liking it.

Just finished Elden Ring (Platinum PS5 175 Hours) and was looking for a JRPG. Perfect timing thanks mate. I've been gaming for 45 years and not stopping anytime soon :)

Taking my time with it so I haven't been to the town you're showing at 2:30. WOW that is utterly beautiful, and the amount of detail given is just amazing. Those hanging potted flowers are such an "extra" kinda thing that wasn't "needed", but the town is 100% more beautiful and "lived in" thanks to them being there. Huge props to the devs. My favorite RPG of the last few years so far.

On my firetv youtube app the title cuts off after "an experience i can't recommend" and then you go ahead and praise the game in the review left and right. I was plenty confused until i looked up the whole title, to say the least 😂

The Ending Credits was.. it made me smile then almost cried 😭 the Adventure and Journey they took, TALES OF ARISE was one off the most memorable RPG I’ve ever played 👍

Never played a tales game, but this game was so good. I loved everything about it. The story, gameplay and characters were so good. I couldn't put it down until I completed it. 💕

My first Tales game was Tales of Vesperia it was an amazing game I pumped like 200 hrs into it around 2009. I haven’t played many since only the last two before this one Berseria and Zestiria which weren’t too bad either pumped for this one. All tho I have a hard time believing anything topping Vesperia. Great review cowboy.

Im 12 hours into Beseria. Decided to buy that and see if I like how the series plays before i made a decision to buy Arise. I'll buy it most likely.

Having did all the side quests, completed all the story and beat all the bosses. This is my favourite tales game by far.

We (fiancee and I) bought this the day it dropped for our PS5 and I'm just getting around to playing it. What's funny is we also bought Tales of Vesperia the same day for our Series X as it is my favorite Tales game to date. We decided to swap consoles today and she's about to play Vesperia for the first time and I Arise.

The only criticism I'd have for the game would be the frequency of the voice lines during combat, they're non-stop at times when performing combos but then again, I suppose you can just mute the voices in the settings if updated. Overall stunning looking game :D
