More about Tales of Zestiria
Steam's global achievement data puts about 1 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 41.9-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 2 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2021 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 55 percent of the 508 reviews written there were positive, against 80 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (time-limited); the score docks it lightly for that.
The main story runs 41.9 hours. Doing everything runs 136, 3.2 times as long.

Whoever was game designer on this game should resign and never...

On one hand we have: A technical mess, a more miss than hit gameplay, a story so awful you remember it for being awful, environnements poorly recycled all the time, barely any storytelling, a washed out antagonist... On the other: Absolutely incredible musics that I still remember 11 years later, some potentially interesting lore, Zaveid <3 and a pretty good art direction that is, sadly, a bit too shy. With bad...
Tried to play it despite the bad reviews. Failed to enjoy it. Watched the story summary. Played Berseria instead.
