    Absolute god of recent JRPGs.
    If you like turn based combat, it doesn't get better then Persona.
    A game that does everything as well as it could have, from music, to gameplay and aesthetic.
    Sets a standard for other developers to try and reach, though they will fail and we will keep waiting for Persona 6 on PC.

    Genuinely an amazing game through and through. I've encountered no errors or bugs so far, and even running everything on max settings I still manage to stay at a solid 120fps without dropping any lower than 100. Beautiful graphics and high quality sound. Despite what some say, it does infact go higher than 1920x1080 graphics.

    I'm very happy to have the game on Game Pass.
    That made me give her a chance.

    Truly a masterpiece. Great visuals, great characters, great soundtrack, great story, great gameplay. Truly nothing wrong with this game. The characters are all written great and have realistic goals and aspirations, they all have realistic reactions and emotions. The story is outstanding and has incredible twists and turns. My favorite video game of all time.

    A lot can be a matter of opinion, such as whether the story is personally engaging or not.

    However, Persona 5 Royal is Peaksona of the turn-based JRPG genre. The weakness formula is perfected and enriched with game mechanics that complement the basic gameplay.

    The graphical presentation is stylish and aesthetic instead of realistic, something that will make the game age better as the technology advances.

    The soundtrack is full of personality, ranging from smooth jazz you'd want to listen while studying, to rocking guitars.

    And as I said, whether the game is too long, too short or how much better or worse is compared to the other Persona games can be up to long-winded debates. However, what is not disputable is how Persona 5 Royal is that, unlike to what Square-Enix wants us to believe, turn-based combat can still be fun and engaging!    … Expand

    Persona 5 Royal is the best Persona game. Although Persona 4 and PersonaQ and Q2 are all great games, this one has to be the best. It is Spectacular and might even be better than Elden Ring, released earlier this year.

    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.
