    It's 100 hours of keeping your schedule better in the game than in real life.

    P5R is absolute gem of a game. Fantastic story, great graphics, unique and memorably characters. Game play is really solid and for a turn based jrpg feels really satisfying which is hard to achieve. This is one of those games that will be remembered in years to come and its unique art style will make it easily re playable in the future.

    The only downside from making this a 10/10 game is that after spending 100hrs in the game the combat can become bit repetitive once you figure out how to handle specific enemies and fusion system is hard to keep track of and would really need some QoL features in future installments of this series.    … Expand

    The beginning of this game is fantastic. I'm pretty sure you can take any JRPG and beat the first half of Persona 5. However, the second half's banality and unappealing bosses are a definite downside.

    Esse jogo é uma obra de arte. É o primeiro jogo que jogo nesse estilo e mesmo assim teve a capacidade de me prender do começo ao fim. A construção dos personagens e o seu desenvolvimento é algo único. E posso afirmar que, de fato é um jogo que te faz aproveitar o momento. A história, a ambientação, a gameplay, tudo perfeito!!!!

    Atlus continues to deliver excellence with the mainline Persona series.

    There is not quite any game like it. As others have said, it is a narrative experience. Can't be explained in words.

    Things I Like:
    - The Music is S tier (as expected from a persona game)
    - The gameplay is great - All of the palaces are very unique from each other, both in terms of visuals as well as layout and gameplay - The story and themes are pretty well executed - The social links (and yes, I do mean social links, you cannot pay me to call them confidants because I'm too much of a contrarian to    Things I Like:

    - All of the palaces are very unique from each other, both in terms of visuals as well as layout and gameplay
    - The story and themes are pretty well executed
    - The social links (and yes, I do mean social links, you cannot pay me to call them confidants because I'm too much of a contrarian to allow it) are not only all memorable, but pretty good
    - The game itself looks amazing (both graphics-wise as well as in terms of UI and menu design)
    - The story is great
    Things I disliked:
    - The final boss fight for the 4th palace is one of the most infuriating things I've encountered in a Persona game
    - With the last part being said, the game overall is pretty easy, to the point where I didn't feel like I needed to think much in terms of combat, Especially when...
    - The DLC personas are very OP, which wouldn't be a problem if they weren't free in the compendium AND available to you at the start of the game, but they are.
    - Some characters completely lose relevance after their palace is completed (looking at you, Haru)
    - I feel that the phantom thieves forgive Makoto (and a certain character, if you know you know) a little too quickly
    -Although this port is the best one we've had of a persona/SMT game since P4G, It still has some bugs (although, none of them are game-breaking)

    Conclusion: although I wouldn't consider this game the best game in the series, It's still a masterpiece that I highly recommend playing, although I would get it on sale if you already own P5R.    … Expand

    Words can scarcely describe how much I love Persona 5 Royal. I played it at launch on PS4 and it made me love video games.

    One of my top 5 games of all time. From the well written characters, the addictive gameplay, and the killer soundtrack. I cannot emphasize how much it is worth your time.

    Absolutely fantastic game, from start to finish. Superb visuals, soundtrack, story and turn based gameplay. A few complaints like how the confidant system takes too long and some of them are almost useless, and the story taking too much time sometimes, aren't enough to eclipse this absolute gem of a game. You should definitely play this if given the chance.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is better on the mechanics part of things than the previous ones and finally designed actual dungeons (although Mementos exists but at least they are short enough), I definitely think the game could have benefitted from doing changes to the story, a more serious tone because of the themes and making Akechi go in a different direction than psychopath #2 would have been more interesting, it feels more like superheroes story than the social critic the authors intended to do, I think only the last part of Mementos, Maruki's Palace, and the intro before Kamoshida's Palace were the points were it had a better complexity than beating up bad game so he stops being bad. It is still good, don't get me wrong, it is just I think they settled for a far safer bet and a far safer game.… Expand

    Persona 5 Royal builds on the beloved 2017 role-playing game, with an experience that represents a new watermark for P-Studio. It's the rare reworking that truly justifies a second (or maybe even third) purchase.

    Persona 5 Royal is a JRPG that I can recommend with my eyes closed, open, one open and one closed, in any way you can imagine. It's a solid starting point for getting into both the genre and the Persona series. Yes, it's a relatively long experience, but it definitely worth it. The fact that it comes with such a successful PC port also makes my recommendation process much easier.
