Velvet, marked by betrayal, sets sail for vengeance, and the journey carries you along with her.

No gut pick in the data, so let's go to the profile, knowing it all rests on very few votes. Connection leads the way, ahead of two thirds of all games, the mark of an RPG carried by its characters. Desert island and the OST follow up high, above the middle. Fun stays decent. On the other hand, the controller feel and the art style slip just below the median, early votes to be confirmed. The picture is of a game you keep for its figures and its mood more than for the act or the image.

Against action JRPGs, attachment to the characters is often the heart of the matter, and Berseria ticks that box with its Velvet and her band of eccentrics. This recent remaster keeps a profile still to be confirmed, but the direction is clear.

So, for who? For you if you love a tormented heroine, an endearing cast, a tale of vengeance you follow to the end. Much less if you are after a dazzling combat system or a visual punch first.
