It’s an easy game to pick up, and even friends can join in the adventure as well. If you haven’t played a Tales game before, this is a really good jumping in point.

We can play in Spain with the subtitles in our language and for the first time we can do it on the platform of our choice. An essential title for lovers of JRPGs that did not play at the time, and the best possible version for those who did.

Tales of Vesperia may very well be the best JRPG on the Nintendo Switch, even if it's over a decade old. I'd love to see more games get the port treatment to the Switch, but even more than that I'm hoping that the series leads decide to bring the next game to the Nintendo console at launch. Recommended for any fans of the series or the JRPG genre.

Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition brought one of the 2 best Tales games on new platforms and it is one of the best and most polished remasters that we have seen in this generation, with its nice story, beautiful art style and entertaining gameplay. Either you play the main game or not, Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition, is a very good choice for you to experience, specially with lots of new contents that didn't exist in the main game and surprise you in a good way.

Nevertheless, though, Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition excels in the places that matter most to Tales game, and in doing so earns the timeless adulation lavished on it by its fans. I can't tell you if it's the best Tales game, but it's everything a Tales game needs to be, in order to be considered great.

It's a huge relief to find that Tales of Vesperia hasn't just aged well, but continues to prove itself to be amongst the best games in the Tales series. The enhancements made to the Definitive Edition tidy up and expand on an already enjoyable game, bringing the characters to life more effectively than ever before and making it more than capable of enthralling both returning players and newcomers alike.

A great game that it's still valid and fun, despite being excesively linear and cliche-yd for the modern times.

A nice reharsal of the best "Tales of" chapter. Very nice if it the first time you play it, superfluous if you already played the original version.

Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition brings one of, if not the best Tales game to PS4, and that alone will no doubt be enough to persuade fans of the series. But really, ten years after its original release, Vesperia deserves more credit than that. It's a borderline classic Japanese RPG, and one that still holds up in 2019 thanks to a great cast of characters and some finely poised action.

Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition is the ultimate version of an iconic jRPG with colorful characters, interesting storyline, strong combat system and a huge number of side quests. One of the best in the series. Give it a try!

While Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition doesn't make an major changes to the original game that launched over a decade ago, it does combine practically every piece of exclusive content into one wholesome package. With the benefit of some improved visuals in both cutscenes and gameplay, it's very difficult to recommend this JRPG classic on any other system than Nintendo Switch thanks to how well it performs in both docked and handheld modes. If you've ever slept on this classic, there's never been a better way to rectify that error.

Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition is a good reedition, with a small amount of bonus content. In 2019, the game is still pretty enjoyable.

Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition its a great opportunity to play and enjoy, one more time (o even for the firts time), one of the mos beloved JRPG games in history. Albeit its not perfect and many of its flaws have gotten more obvious with the pass of the years, its a huge game with the enough charm and content to maintain any gamer busy and enjoying for a long time.

Vesperia's enhanced release is finally available worldwide, but several small frustrations old and new keep it from being truly great.

I'm of two minds with Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition. On one hand, this is the most complete version of easily the best Tales game in the last ten years.
