Abstract: 이정도는 돼야 25주년 기념작이지 25년이란 세월. 강산이 두 번 변하고도 반쯤 또 변한 시기다. 정말 오랜 세월이고, 게이머들의 세대도 교체되고도 남은 시간이다. 그런 긴 시간 동안 하나의 시리즈로서 꾸준히 사랑받고 여전히 팬층이 두텁다는 건, 다른 게임사들도 매우 부러운 일 중 하나일 것이다. 그러나 세월이 오래 흘러도 큰 변화가 없다면 당연히 환영받지 못한다. 시대에 맞지 않은 뒤떨어진 감각으로 만든 게임은, 새로운 팬층과 흐름을 이어가지 못해...
Abstract: 개인적으로 반다이남코에서 지난 6월 출시했던 애니메이션 풍 게임 '스칼렛 스트링스'를 재미있게 즐겼습니다. 애니메이션 풍 게임을 좋아하는 편이지만 그동안 실망했던 일이 많았긴 했죠. 그런 실망을 한차례 다시 기대감으로 바꿔준 게임이기도 했으니까요. 그렇지만 스칼렛 스트링스에서도 아쉬운 부분이 없지 않아 더 좋은 게임이라면 정말 재미있겠다 하는 생각을 했었습니다. 그래서 같은 애니메이션 풍 게임이자 시리즈를 오래 이어온 '테일즈 오브' 시리즈의 신작 '...

Abstract: Twenty twenty-one probably isn't going to make the history books as one of humanity's finest years. From a pandemic that continued to come in waves to Betty White dying on December 31st, it was a rather garbage year. Except for the games. If there was any...

Abstract: Well, then. 2021 is over. A series of 365 days that decided, “what if we did 2020, again?” It was the remaster we did not need. But all that said, in spite of the continued effects of the pandemic and other nonsense, it was a good year too—one with good t...
Fast paced combat engine that's fun to experiment with, CP/AG system balances out difficulty/flexibility well, Likeable cast of characters that complement each other well, Best looking Tales game to date
Aggressive texture/shader pop-ins and barebones graphics options on the PC version, Some pacing issues with overload of dialogue in certain sections that repeatedly hammers in the same themes too often
Engaging story, Great atmosphere, Charming characters, Excellent combat
Field maps fail to capture a proper sense of scale, Excessive linearity, Lack of multiplayer

Beautiful visuals that make the game's world feel lively, unique, and memorable, Great characters who frequently banter and interact with each other in entertaining ways, Fast-paced, action-packed battles where each character has a unique role and playsty
Combat can be really overwhelming at times, Uneven story that seems to move too fast at points, DLC that makes you question the game's design choices

Abstract: The Tales series sits in a weird position among the pantheon of long-running RPG series. It's not completely unknown or unheard of, but its popularity doesn't reach the heights of other contemporaries, especially in the West. Tales of Arise is a big swing...
Tales of Arise is a fantastic action RPG. It builds on many of the great mechanics from its predecessors. I loved its polished combat, wonderful graphics, touching audio, and hard-hitting story. Exploration never felt tiresome and the large creatures and
