I tried Tales Of titles in the past, and unfortunately none of them really stuck with me, for different reasons.

Berseria is a massive exception. This title took me by surprise and turned into one of my favorite JRPGs.
It is able to present a story about revenge that does feels overdone, and full of emotions and depth, with a protagonist that makes for a great anti-hero without feeling like a complete edgelord like her design may make you think.

It has one of the best party members in any RPGs, with banters that alone are able to sell you on the title (Magilou, you absolute beast)

I feel the combat can become quickly repetitive, and the fact there is not a lot of options for fast travels makes for a kinda sluggish exploration. But the charm of the writing and the characters makes you go forward and makes you witness a fantastic adventure.

A big surprise for me. I highly recommend it!
