Just a small warning, last two games I've bought "New" from Gamestop were not new, the cases had been already been opened and there were price stickers directly on the case (no cellophane wrap). If you don't care about that, that's fine, but I feel like it's shady to sell opened products as "new"
I beat tales of arise a few months ago. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I will say it's not $5 because its sucks or it's shovelware. You see that a lot with Gamestop, where the majority of their Under $5 games are sports titles or junk, but I think Tales of Arise just had a very wide release, so it sits on the shelves.

It's just kind of a perfectly servicable RPG. It's not deep or interesting, but it's not bland. It's not heavy on dialog, if you're not a completionist you can blast through it pretty quickly.

I think what I enjoyed about it most was the combat which is new Final Fantasy style button masher action with character switching and spellcasting on the fly. It's very combo and element oriented. It was "fun", but I left disappointed because I didn't find it very compelling or deep.

Also it has a fishing minigame, 10/10.
That's good to know. This happens a lot there. I wonder why there's been no lawsuits on GameStop because of that. Strange

Usually happens if it's the last copy available in the store. Funny thing is when you go to return it, they inspect it to make sure you didn't switch it with a broken disc.

Only buy in stores, if you can find a copy. ONLY IF.

Whether you believe it is up to you, but one time an employee explained it to me that the disc was never used. They just shucked it to put the box on display and kept the disc in a locked drawer behind the counter. Personally, I don't really care so much as long as the thing works when I get it home.

Definitely buyer beware. I selected/paid for New, so to be fair I should get/expect sealed games. But GameStop sent me games that are used meaning placed a clear circular tape or place the game in a plastic sleeve to pass as New.

Except they allow their employees to take them home and play them. I received an email from them saying they were hiring for the holiday season. One of the perks was you had access to the newest games to take home and try out.

Meh! I've gotten all sealed copies from these $5 deals; also I can hardly care to worry about new for a $5 item I'm gonna open and play soon.

PS: I still don't know why GameStop doesn't just make placeholder cases from their printer instead of opening the last copies!
