Every January 2019 Video Game Release Ranked By Anticipation

13. Tales Of Vesperia: Definitive Edition

Resident Evil 2 Remake
Bandai Namco

Release date: January 11

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC

Namco Bandai’s 'Tales Of' series is high-calibre JRPG stuff. It comes along with lush anime-stylings and epic storylines, plus unique RTS combat that skirts the fine-line between satisfying beat-em-up with strategic battling.

Vesperia is one of the higher regarded entries, although it got slept on due to a weird release strategy; it was initially brought out as an Xbox 360 exclusive? Yes, Microsoft’s second-generation machine was successful in many ways but championing JRPG’s is not one of them.

So, this is a great chance to pick up a newly polished version of this muscular and rewarding title - especially if you're a JRPG nut and missed this the first time around.
