A few players criticize the PC port for poor optimization and performance issues. [1]

A heartbreakingly lazy port I'm really sad about this. I'm a huge Persona fan, but this game is so poorly optimized that it is genuinely impossible to play. My PC is supposed to be way more than enough to run it, but even on LOW graphic settings, the performance is still an absolute disaster. It constantly drops to 30fps, and since fighting games tie their physics to the framerate, the matches turn into an …

P4AU is a very entertaining fighting game, and this is coming from someone who doesn't play many fighting games and usually isn't any good at them. With that in mind, it's a point in this game's favor that it is as accessible and newbie-friendly as it is. The control scheme, while complex beyond basic moves, isn't so hard to grasp that it's unapproachable, and (while it might make me sound like a casual) the hold X …

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is a wild fighting game crossover that somehow manages to be both fanservice and a legit competitive fighter. The story mode is dense (and kinda long), but it’s packed with lore if you’re into Persona 3 and 4. Gameplay is smooth and flashy, though it might feel overwhelming at first if you’re not used to anime fighters. Stick with it, and it’s a super fun and stylish experience.

I am realizing SEGA rarely misses with these side games, this one has the cast of persona 3 and 4 in a tournament taking place in the shadow world. This is an arcade fighter with a persona 4 story that takes place after the main game. It is something special seeing the cast of 3 and 4 interacting with each other. Each character has its own story and character interactions along the way. Online community seems to …

92% of the 194 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. The complaint that keeps coming up: small online player base. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Persona 4 Arena Ultimax received "generally favorable" reviews according to review aggregator platform Metacritic. IGN complimented the changes to the fighting system, graphics, rebalanced characters, and declared that there was "even more nuance for intermediate and advanced players" and that Ultimax was "100% the sequel that Persona 4 Arena deserved." Hardcore Gamer gave the game a 4/5, saying, "In terms of fighting mechanics, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax doesn't go leaps and bounds past its predecessor, but allows for growth that helps strengthen the experience." Ben Moore at GameTrailers stated that "practically everything new in Ultimax is outstanding and the core it's built on is just as…

The low tier peasants are living in poverty. It seems nothing can stop the great leader of 20XX, "FluddSan", and his army, the Yukari monks who live in great monasteries where they levitate…
