Persona 4 Golden

I mean there are so many problems that suck any fun I had with this game. First with the positives: 1.Characters-Most of the characters are interesting & have a good arc to them. 2.Story/Plot-The mystery in this game is suspenseful as it was the biggest reason I kept playing this game. 3.Location-Inaba is a quiet, peaceful, & happy town where there isn't any dark gloomy atmosphere like there is in Persona 5. However, the negatives take a lot of the fun away as so: 1.Gameplay-Oh my goodness, what a disappointment. It's a pain to learn & get used to. Plus the enemies (even on normal mode) spam the most powerful attacks that takes half your health away! (Jesus!) 2.Save Points-SRSLY! Only ONE save point in each dungeon & that's at the very end of each dungeon! That's stingy & speaking of stingy: 3.Chest Keys, SP, & Yen-I've never had a game that was so stingy on allowing you to unlock chests, earn plenty of money, & limited SP. This game is the most stingy game I've played ever! 4.Enemies-Not much variety & again, they love to spam the most powerful moves even on the easiest difficulty! This takes all the fun away from the game when I have to restart hours of gameplay! Overall, very overrated & disappointing game. Made me write a serious review on it. This game is average at best & go play Persona 5, it's sooooo much better!

Excellent story and really fun to a point that when I stop playing I kinda feel sad lowkey!

Only downside is that I think "normal" difficulty is a little bit too hard for normal, but still u can change it to easy anytime if u want.

Personally I changed difficulty to recieve small damage and do big damage and get more XP, do this if u are looking for fun and playing otherwise u must grind hard even for normal.

TLDR: super fun, play on easy.

After playing Persona 5, I really wanted to play more Persona games. Persona 4 Golden released on steam last year, so I finally got the chance to play it. The story in Persona 4 is really good and very engaging, even if the writing is quite weak at times. The additional story in Golden is not anything special but it's fine. The gameplay on the other hand, not really. While the combat system itself is enjoyable, I'm gonna explain later why the gameplay overall is not as good as the story. The main characters are the best part of the game and their interactions are probably the best I've seen in any videogame. The music took some time to grow on me but I ended up absolutely loving it! The art style is nice, although the visual quality is a bit outdated. Also, it's worth mentioning that the dialogue is hilarious at times... like, it had me laughing out loud! Persona 4 Golden is undoubtedly one of the funniest games I've ever played. Now, Persona 4 has one issue that affects the gameplay though; the dull dungeon design. The dungeons in that game are literally copy/paste, empty corridors, which is something Golden could improve on but it didn't. For those who've only played Persona 5, imagine something like Mementos. Another issue is the saving system in the dungeons, it's unnecessarily complicated and it made me lower the difficulty in some parts.

Pros: + Great story + Awesome characters + Decent combat system + Exceptional music + Cool art style

Cons

• Inconsistent writing
• Poor dungeon design & complicated dungeon saving system

Narrative: 8/10 Gameplay: 6/10 Content: 8/10 Characters: 10/10 Music: 10/10 Art Style: 8/10

Final Rating: 9.5/10

I gotta say, playing Persona 4 Golden after Persona 5/Royal made me realize how much Persona 5 improved upon its predecessor.

Much like Persona 5/Royal though, Persona 4 Golden is one hell of an experience! One that I hopefully won't forget anytime soon, as it's truly one of my favorite games I've played in a while.

Do I recommend it?: Yes! Go treat yourself with some Persona, either 5 or 4, it doesn't matter.

Persona 4 Golden is a port of the original Persona 4 on the PS Vita and now PC. The game has a great, suspenseful, and fun story. The game-play is a huge step up from Persona 3. Overall, the characters in this game are interesting throughout and special in their own right making the game more fun scary and joyful since they are around most of the time, and when trouble arrives and some characters are threatened you feel like they are a good friend that you need to save which is an impressive feat. This is my first Persona game I ever played, the nostalgic feeling I had for this game made be buy it again on Steam. The game is so good I had to play my 7th run on the game.

Overall, if you have 20 bucks I recommend buying it on Steam or the PS Vita store.

The beauty of this game is it will take you back to a time when things were simpler. When friendships mean the world to people, when fighting for the greater good meant something, when planning your day slow and steady lead to greater things. This game is nothing less than perfection, which includes the music, which after almost a decade of me playing it, still actively listen to its soundtracks. This will go down in my family linage as a must play at some point in my children's lives, and beyond.
