    Persona Q2 is a fantastic 3DS game, and a surprisingly good persona experience.
    A solid improvement from Persona Q1 in every single mechanic

    This is really one the best on 3ds, however this really just doesn’t feel like persona, like the characters ,it’s complexity and much more. However I still recommend this title

    First, let me begin by saying that I was truly disappointed by the fact that the audio was in japanese, I was really hoping to get english audio for this game. Nevertheless, the game was fantastic and I really loved every single aspect of it. I did played the previous game, Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, but it didn't have quite the appeal at all.

Persona Q2 has a better story, which you can relate to in some aspect of your life. The dialogues and interactions between the characters are lively and funny, they don't fell like they have been forced at all. The idea of the dungeons is very well built and creative. The dungeon navigation is more entertaining and less of a hassle. The boss battles are unique and hard just enough to enjoy them. Overall, if you did play PQ and liked it or didn't like it at all, I highly recommend playing PQ2, since it's an enhanced version of it. You'll love it!… Expand

    Una gran pasada.
    Sin duda alguna Q2 mejoró bastante con respecto al 1 , vuelven las mecanicas fáciles de las debilidades de cada enemigo para cada all out attack y con un estilo visual parecido al P5.
    De la música aunque corta la siento excelente cada una relacionada a las características de cada grupo de personajes ; y su música de jefe es sublime. Las habilidades de lider siento que se    Una gran pasada.

    La función automática de correr ayuda a lo tener presionada el botón b a cada rato y lo fácil que es obtener las personas.
    El fan service es un buen punto para jugarlo tanto como en su pantalla de selección y diálogos ; pero siento que la historia principal no es tan llamativa mas que para obtener a los demás personajes en tu equipo    … Expand

    This game is good and they added more things than the first one, the movie atmosphere was the one that caught my attention, just that, this game is still the same as Persona Q, I'm not saying it's a "Wow" since some functions bore me from their old games, but it's pretty decent since it's still a crossover that Persona 5 characters put on it to impress people by putting features from oneThis game is good and they added more things than the first one, the movie atmosphere was the one that caught my attention, just that, this game is still the same as Persona Q, I'm not saying it's a "Wow" since some functions bore me from their old games, but it's pretty decent since it's still a crossover that Persona 5 characters put on it to impress people by putting features from one of the most successful games as a PS4 exclusive.… Expand

    Really great game (knocking it a point for lack of 3D comparative to the original which had it)! Portrays the characters with a little more depth than the original and with an even bigger cast.

Portrays the characters with a little more depth than the original and with an even bigger cast. Story was not as emotional but did a good job at what it was trying to do. Gameplay is vastly improved, with the new Unison skills and All-Out-Attacks being changed back to how they have usually worked in the mainline games. Although it still lacks EXP share, and with a cast this big I feel like it should have because I doubt most would take the time to grind everyone up. It's really cool to see everyone interacting just as it was in the original, although the focus is more on the P5 cast than anyone else, most characters are still explored pretty well. The EXP gain DLC is really useful to just blast through the combat which I do not care for so I'd just run through the whole thing on safety. The story though was very fun, a little bit obvious at times comparative to the first game but not as emotional as simply the two stories as a whole could never really have reached that same emotional climax. There are a lot of really cool cutscenes in this one, I feel the 3D could've made it better at times but both the animated and 3D model cutscenes are nice to look at. The lack of an English cast still creates good moments but in certain times echo-y voices will be in the background without subtitles whatsoever, which could've been fixed for the English release. The music was really fantastic as per usual. Puzzles I feel were made easier in this one, before there were some I had to look up the solution for, but it's usually not much more difficult than "ON/OFF" puzzles.
    Overall: This was a really fun game! All the characters return, cute character interactions, decent and revamped combat, nice art style and a fantastic soundtrack. I'd recommend if you've played at least 1 of the games as there's not really any spoilers.    … Expand

    Considering the Persona games' high school settings, it feels fitting that in order to have the most fun with Persona Q2, you need to do your homework first! [Issue #40 – July/August 2019, p. 68]

    Another solid entry in the Persona series, this dungeon crawling adventure will keep you entertained for hours and maybe will be the last great title that you will play on the Nintendo 3DS.

    Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth is a conservative game with respect to its first installment, but manages to connect with the fan quickly, as the exploration and battle systems are still really fun to play and the huge cast of characters from the series parades through the screen.
