Tales of Arise (PS5)

Tales of Arise is a role-playing game on PlayStation 5, supplied as a physical disc. Its story centres on two people born on different worlds who each want to change their fate, and the publisher describes it as a first-class JRPG with a diverse cast, intuitive and rewarding combat, and a captivating story. It is single-player and carries a MENA rating of 16.

A world ruled for 300 years

For 300 years, Rena has ruled over Dahna, taking the planet's resources and stripping people of their dignity and freedom. The story begins with two people from different worlds, each looking to change their fate and create a new future.

That setup gives the game a clear emotional engine: a lush world worth fighting for, and a pair of leads from opposite sides of the conflict who have to work out what a different future looks like.

Why play it on PS5

The specs list vibration support on the DualSense wireless controller, so your fights come through in your hands. This is a physical disc for PlayStation 5, so you need a console with a disc drive, and Remote Play is supported if you want to play away from the main screen.

On-screen languages are Russian, German, Spanish, French, Italian and English. Arabic is not listed, so you will need to be comfortable with one of those.

Who it suits

Tales of Arise is aimed at players who want a long, story-first role-playing game they can play alone. The MENA rating of 16 puts it in teen-and-up territory, and offline-only play means you can enjoy it without a connection. If you enjoy character-driven JRPGs, the diverse cast and combat system described in the listing are the draw.
