More Like Tales of Put It Back Down

The Tales of Arise demo is the perfect modern game, full of petty annoyances to increase player engagement. Cooking after battles? I think not, my friend. Go back to this campsite that's just sitting in the middle of a regular RPG area for no reason. You deserve to rest after watching cinematic animations kill all the enemies for you and pressing the X button on items they had to make sparkle because they don't stand out from the dull green and brown terrain in any way. Then enjoy some ugly models standing still like they were in a cheap Spider-Man game while they discuss their single personality trait each. It has a crafting system, because not including one incurs a hefty fine or possibly prison. What an unpleasant mess.
