A solid RPG that had a ton of stuff to explore and collect that had the collector in me satisfied throughout.

Wow! Truly an outstanding action game, everything is upped another level in terms of the combat, especially the boss fights and the pure scale and scope of pretty much everything.

Puzzles take a bit of a back seat, personally feel there could have been more of an emphasis on them but it's not a huge deal.

Loved it. Combat is so much fun and the customization of how you want to play is excellent and gives you freedom to explore and experiment at will. Really enjoyed the story as well. Fun to see Kratos given an even deeper character arc.

I love P5 and this was a very solid follow-up/spin-off. Story doesn't go as hard as the original but just hanging with gang again was a blast.

Combat was pretty simple to get hang of but got veeeeeeery tedious while grinding for certain trophies. Just as a warning for anyone going for the platinum, it is a massive grind. Possibly 80+ hours like it was for me.

Never played the original release so can't compare them but overall I had a solid time. I love a good collect-a-thon platformer and this was pretty standard. Didn't blow me away but I can understand why this game had such a strong following.

Greatest RPG ever made. Nothing else comes close.

This game is perfect playing through it the one time. I tried doing a new game plus but the desire just wasn't there to do it.

This game is fantastic in almost every way, save a few glitches while climbing the colossi. Especially the final one as it was very janky.

It looks great, plays better then the original release and is just a really well told story.

A solid RPG all around. The Tales of series is always quite solid in terms of gameplay and world building. Story was decent, nothing mindblowing. But I certainly had a great time doing almost everything the game had to offer.

I LOVE this game. Shame it's not been re-released in any way since it's initial release. A fun game which most LOTR fans would have a good time with.

This game is a masterpiece in storytelling, to this day it's still one of the most engaging stories told in not just video games but in just fictional media in general.

The gunplay is still solid fun, albeit slightly frustrating at times. The PC version is so much better in almost every way, so if you want to play this game, play the PC version. Or wait for the touted remake.

This game makes you want more because it's just so good. The combat is much improved, the story continues to be captivating, and it just looks much better. Amazing the improvement in such a short time between the two games.

Just wish it was a slightly longer experience.

It's great fun and although it plays a lot more "modern" an not as chaotic as the first two, it offers some really fun set pieces. I like the change of setting but the story is weaker and not as gripping.

Overall a solid and entertaining action game.

2018

I was worried this game would get old fast but it was anything but that. This game is just non-stop fun and every time you die or even finish a run, you feel like you've made progress. Combat is so much fun and every weapon forces you to adjust slightly with the way you play.

The music kicks ass, voice acting is solid and the art style is just delightful. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to try a rougelike, it doesn't get much better than this.

Nostalgia overload. Playing these games for the first time in 20+ years with my niece and nephew and had a very good time, this is honestly such a great way for kids to get into gaming if they are interested. Doesn't require you to be exceedingly good at the game, just have to think logically and you'll progress.

They don't make them like they used to.

Every AAA developer take note, this is how you make a game. Released without any major issues and gives you 40-50 hours of fun. Loved this one just as much as GOW from 2018, almost went by too quick.
