I will start by saying that I have tried from the Tales series Berseria, Vesperia, Zestiria, and Symphonia for about 6-12 hours each separately.

Tales of Arise was the only one that grabbed me and kept me for the 50+ hours of gameplay I played; for me, it was definitely one of the best in the series! The story had twists! Plot! Characters with depth! Combos that take time and skill to discover! So much content inside! Clearly, it is a game that has at least 100 hours to see everything.

It had its humor at times. Due to work, I had time every morning to play for about 2 hours with my coffee; it was exactly what I wanted to start my day. In the end, when I got hooked on the story and wanted to see the ending, I experienced a bit of burnout because I rushed it and got tired.

So I will say the following: for its price (20 euros), it has a lot of content that you won't regret spending your money on. The story is ma-gic!! The gameplay does NOT disappoint, and the graphics are beautiful!

Anyone who likes Action-JRPGs will definitely enjoy this one too. Personally, as soon as its DLC goes on a good discount, I will grab it!

The DLC is amazing; I wouldn't change anything; it's a masterpiece.

What to say about this game, very nice graphics, nice characters, nice plot and development, the gameplay is very nice, it's a classic Tales game, nice crafting system for weapons, it has a fishing minigame like Final Fantasy 15, the game lasts about 60 hours, I really liked its story, I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys JRPGs!!
