Maybe it's just me no longer being a teenager, but I feel like the more you value your time, the less you are going to enjoy Persona series. The overall style, music and characters are awesome. The story as far as I got was fine, though it would definitely score better, had I still been a high-schooler myself. The problem is that Persona 5 is a massive time sink and although there is an awful lot of things to do, …

First things first…shoutout to @Peter_Lennox for forcing me into the Persona universe. You were right. I hate that you were right. This game took my soul, painted it red, and danced on it to jazz music. So. What can I say? Persona 5 Royal is genuinely one of the best story-driven games I’ve ever played. It hooked me from start to finish and that’s saying something, because I normally get bored easily with turn-based …

If I could steal anyone's heart into getting this game, I would've. This is the kind of game where the feeling of bittersweetness just overwhelms you when the end credits starts playing. The story, music, immersive world, and most importantly the bonds you've forged with the characters, will remain in your heart long after the journey ends.

Put 104.5 hours into P5R over 10 days straight, n the whole ride felt like one hell of a vivid dream. Coming back to reality after it ends hits u with that heavy bittersweet emptiness, but it also feels like u lived an entire second life, the kind that reminds u exactly why games can hit so hard. As for the game itself, the story’s that classic crowd-pleasing arc of hot-blooded teens taking on the world to set …

Players who liked Persona 5 Royal talk about engaging story and characters that players care about; those who didn't talk about very long playtime that may not respect players' time. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Persona 5 received "universal acclaim" according to review aggregator Metacritic. Famitsu gave it a positive review, with the game garnering a near-perfect score. PlayStation Official Magazine – UK described it as "an unabashed masterpiece". IGN's Andrew Goldfarb said Persona 5 "stands out as an extraordinary, memorable experience and easily one of the deepest JRPGs of the last decade". RPGamer said that "With Persona 5, Atlus has once again proven that it is the master of the modern JRPG. With terrific style, addictive gameplay, and an engaging, thought-provoking story...". The game's graphical style and art direction also received significant praise. The quality of the English…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played Persona 5 Royal nearly a decade after playing the original. The game didn’t change, but I did. I first played the original version of Persona 5 on a PS4 that was a graduation gift for me. It was a physical copy I borrowed from my sister’s friend. They were in the middle of their finals and didn’t have time to play, so I was fortunate enough to experience it during its first week. This detail feels important because I was in a completely different place in life back then. It’s been…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Before Persona 5 Royal, I had never played a JRPG before and never had any particular interest in the genre. Shortly before getting into this game, I had just finished Expedition 33, which already had some JRPG elements incorporated into it, so I at the very least had a rough idea of what I was getting myself into. And I can say with certainty now that it was absolutely worth the time and money spent. The game starts off pretty slow, it holds your hand for the first couple of hours,…

This game somehow made me care about every single character, made me spend way too much time optimizing Personas, and had me saying, “I’ll save and get off after one more day.” for about 4 hours straight. The soundtrack never misses. The gameplay keeps getting better the more you play. The story had me hooked the entire time, and the ending left me with that post-game depression every great game gives you.…

neutral · AI labelView post →Persona 5 is a really fantastic Japanese RPG. Originally releasing 10 years ago, this game has directly influenced a lot of more recent RPG's that you may have played. Claire Obscure: Expedition 33 being one of the very direct ones. This Royal edition adds the DLC for P5, notably an extra semester and new characters. The game is extremely stylish and explores sociology well. This review is after rolling credits and getting 100% on the achievement list, which took me 134 hours. What…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In all my years of gaming and additions to my backlogs, I have completed many few games. I stepped into this game and the Persona series completely blind, snagged it during a sale saying why not. Turn-based games were always a major turn-off for me so I did not expect much and thought I'd return the game after my first hour, and hoho was I wrong. Absolutely enchanting experience this game was! I would love to babble on and on about how well it encapsulates everything into this one package,…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is my second turn based game after expedition 33, and we are now two for two on goated games. The life-sim gameplay and palace exploration were both really fun and engaging. I have never encountered a game with the calendar system before and really enjoyed it. Planning out what I was going to do with my week in the game was really fun. The art style and music really shine in this game, and I can't wait to play Persona 3 Reload next.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, that went on a bit too long... Considering my first encounter with this thing was a long time ago—with the original PS3 version, which I abandoned because I simply didn’t have the patience to put up with such a gigantic game—coupled with my steadily declining enthusiasm for the genre over the years, it’s a miracle I even gave it another shot, let alone actually made it all the way to the end. Even more surprising was that I never felt like I was dragging myself through a miserable…

When I first played it, the music, graphics, and gameplay were exactly as great as I expected. I listened to the soundtrack countless times, fought difficult bosses with my own strategies, and somehow the gameplay never got boring. But the thing that truly made this game special for me was the story. I didn’t expect to get so attached to the characters and the everyday…

This was my first Persona game, and it was a lot darker than I expected. It covers themes such as suicide, abuse, sexual assault, drugs, and murder, but tells it's story surprisingly well. 10/10. Would steal hearts again and other organs.

A "Grande" game for turn-based fans in its time, with its elegant effects, art, and UI, I really feel the development of OG turn-based games over time, starting from the P5R era --> Metaphor Refantazio --> Expedition 33.

The story is amazing — it really feels like a journey where you grow closer to the characters as the story goes on. What I love most about Persona games is the character development. The characters in this game are super likable, and they actually act like real high school students, not adults pretending to be teens. I absolutely love the high school setting too — it gives the game a special…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Persona 5 Royal was my first Japanese RPG, and all I can say is: wow, wow, wow. What impressed me most was the incredible depth of the game. At its core, Persona 5 Royal is about friendship and the connections you build with other people. If you don't enjoy reading dialogue, this probably isn't the game for you. But for me, all of that character development is exactly what made the experience so immersive. The relationships feel surprisingly fresh and most major characters are interesting in…

Before playing P5R, I had minimal exposure to the Persona series and it's somewhat unique gameplay loop.

This often results in a situation where, whenever someone doesn’t like Persona 5, they are immediately called a ragebaiter. Personally, I would like to enjoy the games I buy, especially pricey ones like Persona 5, so I don’t really have a reason to purposefully slander a game.
