Persona 5

Very good combination of Anime and Acid Jazz and Rhodes. 11/10 soundtracks. This game made me a turned based game fan and JRPG fan. Such a amazing game.

Persona 5 was the first JRPG I've played in my life and it pretty much changed my thoughts torwards the JRPG genre. First of all, the story is absolutely fantastic! It's extremely long, it takes at least 80 hours to finish but it's so well written and fun to go through! Gameplay-wise, it's quite challenging but very addictive! In fact, the whole game is one of the most addictive single-player videogames I've played in a while! I could play for 5+ hours straight and feel that it wasn't enough. The combat is turn based and you can control every character from your party. You can use various type of attacks, items, mechanics, powers and Persona attacks while spending HP or SP (stamina) with each one of the characters. Every ability is different though and applies different status effects (Physical/Fire/Ice damage, heal, burn, confuse, damage increase, evasion and many more). By the way, when you knock down all the targets, you can use an All-Out Attack, but you can also have conversation with the targets instead, in order to collect them as Personas (kinda like Pokémon) or steal their money. Those mechanics are wonderful! The cast is probably my absolute favorite in a videogame! Also, the soundtrack and the art style are absolutely incredible! Lastly, during free roam, you can basically do whatever you can do in real life in order to improve your social stats that affect your relationships you make with the other characters. However, the story has some pacing issues and the freedom you're given outside of the metaverse feels quite limited.

Pros: + Amazing story + Very addictive gameplay + Phenomenal characters + Awesome mechanics + Gorgeous art style

Cons:

• Pacing issues
• Lack of enough freedom

Narrative: 9/10 Gameplay: 9/10 Content: 10/10 Characters: 10/10 Music: 10/10 Art Style: 10/10

Final Rating: 10/10

• Masterpiece -

Persona 5 is a game full of style and confidence. The Phantom Thieves stole my heart and Persona 5 is one of the best videogames I've ever played!

Do I recommend it?: Hell yes! I recommend everyone to give this masterpiece a try.

As someone who normally dislikes Anime and doesn't care for RPG's, this was an absolute blast to play. Great gameplay, great story and even good voice acting for the most part (A few side characters sound pretty eh like the Gamer kid who sounds like a 60 year old woman along with a lot of the voices of the nameless extra characters being out of place and terrible). There are some issues like the tutorial going on a bit too long, some elements being introduced too late in the game so there's not enough time to fully explore plotwise or take advantage of gameplay wise (Like Haru who shows up literally 5 minutes before the plot kicks into overdrive) and Mementos can be a bit tedious, but they weren't problematic enough to bog down the experience. Highly recommend this one, even if you aren't into turn based games or anime like me, although this is a really long game spanning near 100 hours, so you need to have a lot of time for this one. Regardless, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on Persona 6 whenever that happens.

This game has all!!! It's visually beautiful!! The story is awesome!! It has comedy, suspense, thrills, love, everything.. I truly enjoyed playing every single moment! One of the best games out there!! I hope do they do more!!! 😍😍

Characters- 6/10 Many characters felt annoying and the ones that are good are not enough to save the others

Story-7.5/10 (The story on Persona games ar the dungeons but in between the dungeons you have 30-40 hours of free time to go out and hang out with S-Links, The story was good not bad but not amazing. I consider S-links Story as they have backgrounds and have a plot in it of themselves, thankful the good characters had amazing s-links. But the bad ones had stupid S-links that made no sense Bringing the score down to a 7.5, 8 if not the S-links.

Music- 6/10 The music was repetitive and got bland after a bit. but i am not including this into the final score since this is very much based on personal tastes.

Game-play- 10/10 You know why

Dungeons- 9/10 (I only disliked one dungeons, and one mixed dungeon

Overall not the best game ever but still worth a pick up

8/10
