    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.

The upgraded anime-like artstyle gives this entry some extra style and flair. Due to the excellent writing, I looked forward to spending time with all of the characters in this game, and progressing further in the story.

    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.

    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:

    - 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 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. It has some flaws, but it’s by far the best experience I’ve ever had with a video game.

    It's fantastic JRPG game with other series, But persona 5 is something else and at least you have to play it once and then you will love this game.

    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.

    Overall a great game with good characters, fun battles and interesting palaces to explore. However, 83 hours into the game, I made a choice that resulted in a "bad" ending. And there's no way to go back and try again, as it marks your save slot as completed. Very disappointing. The game had a LOT of padding and filler content that probably added a good 40 hours for nothing.

    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.
