Sword art online is probably the best game in the Sword Art Online series to date. That said, the game still unfortunately has flaws that are hard to overlook. The story takes place after the events of SAO (Sword Art Online), in which they were trapped in a game where if they died there, they would die in the real world. The characters from the previous anime and games return and play the SAO again, this time without the risk of death. For the first time in the series, you can make your own character, instead of being Kirito. For once, i was able to enjoy feeling as if i were a part of SAO and its lovable characters. The story is about a strange NPC who gives a strange quest for 1 col. You and the cast find this strange and try to solve the quest, eventually finding out that she is a goddess and she could possibly destroy the entire game if the quest is completed. There is more, but i won't give any more details. The main story left me interested, but it certainly was boring in a lot of parts. It left me aching for the excitement and intensity that i got from the anime. While the story was boring, the combat was amazing. You can pick from many different types of weapons to choose from, all having tons of skills and perks that left me trying out all weapons to see what fit me. However, the skill tree is..... littered. It has so many stats just mushed together, with no tutorial to help me figure it out, that i just gave up and used what i was able to piece together. Enemies were plentiful, bosses were exciting, and there were also tons of extra mini bosses, or NM's, that u could kill for rare weapons or XP. Multiplayer is also a good way to level your character, and you can fight bosses or just farm for items together with your friends. All in all, while this game has some undeniable flaws, its still a solid game. While the story falls short, combat, multiplayer, and extra bosses made me come back time and time again. Its a solid game, just needs a few strong polishes to become a bestseller. 8/10 is my final score. NOTE: this game does have DLC and more are supposed to be released in the future.

Tales of Berseria is a great game, and although the graphics do need some improving and the multiplayer is still awful, the story, cast, and combat make this a game to remember.
