    Persona 5 Royal is a fantastic game overall, but it is also a sign of decline for both Shin Megami Tensei and the Persona series.

    Great story, great game and appreciated the elements royal adds to the base game. Runs great on pc and ps5 although I am disappointed that playstation owners have essentially had to buy the base game, royal on ps4 and then royal on ps5.

    Çok overrated oyun. Birkaç tane palace ve persona füzyonlama dışında hiçbir keyif alamadım oyundan. Karakterleri ve hikayesi çok sıkıcı, bi Maruki var birde Iwai o kadar gerisi çer çöp.

    Highly overrated game.
    This game is full of filler and meaningless dialogues that drag on for hours. The palaces and the stories that come with them are nice and are the highlight of the game. Unfortunately this is only a small part of the game. It mostly consists of boring social activities and forging friendships with corny characters. The dialogues drag on forever and rarely contain

Unfortunately this is only a small part of the game. It mostly consists of boring social activities and forging friendships with corny characters. The dialogues drag on forever and rarely contain anything worth your time. It's just way too many dialogues and not enough actual gameplay.Also this game doesn't respect your time at all and is way too long for it's own good. The pacing of this game is just a massive mess and drags down anything good that comes with this game.

    I just lost 5 hours of gameplay because no autosave feature. What stupid design choice is that?

    Jogo muito ruim, um dos piores que eu já joguei, história não e muito boa, e o resto só vai piorando

    Literally just an interactive anime, not even edgy and dark like SMT, the game part is just a pathetic casual turned based game that might as well have been done over 20 years ago

    The game has great music and story but a huge amount of unnecessary and insurmountable grinding that really kills the pacing and causes me to stop playing.

    Can't say I was a fan. Played and found it too easy and quite boring. I really don't see the fuss about these games.

    An original, quality jRPG that manages to refresh the genre.

    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.
