For those that have not connected the dots, the new remaster in question — out today on the aforementioned platforms — is Bandai Namco’s Tales of Berseria Remastered, a remaster of Tales of Berseia, as the name conveys. This new remaster is available for $40, but so far it is receiving mixed scores. With critics, it has done well, but consumers are liking it less, so far at least.
Mixed Reviews for New Bandai Namco Remaster
It is early days, but on Metacritic, Tales of Berseria Remastered has a very solid score of 79. Its user reviews are less positive, though. On PlayStation, nostalgics are loving it. To this end, it has a 4.83 out of 5 stars after nearly 100 user reviews. This is by far its strongest rating. Meanwhile, it is too new to have a user review score on Xbox, and the Nintendo eShop doesn’t offer user reviews. On Steam, meanwhile, it only has a 61% approval rating, which is obviously much lower than its other scores. The negative reviews cite various technical issues, and note that the remaster hardly does anything to meaningfullly remaster the game.
Those on PS5 can avoid the remaster if they’d like and save $20 in the procees as the PS4 original is only $20. This is not an option on Nintendo Switch or Xbox Series X, though.
