    "Persona shallow edition" wouldn't be a bad description, the game evokes an aura of "complicated moral choices" or "an study on the human psyche" but it just says names for mental disorders and lives things at that, much of the time it just boils down to "person 1 has x disorder so they should talk to person 2" giving a short, uninteresting and predictable interaction between them,"Persona shallow edition" wouldn't be a bad description, the game evokes an aura of "complicated moral choices" or "an study on the human psyche" but it just says names for mental disorders and lives things at that, much of the time it just boils down to "person 1 has x disorder so they should talk to person 2" giving a short, uninteresting and predictable interaction between them, sometimes not even addressing the problems such interaction might cause.
    For the main story just increase the number of persons interacting and add extremely meaningless choices in dialogue(something a long the lines of( option 1 : hi how are you?. option 2: hello, having a good day? )
    Still the combat of the game is very enjoyable, and it did try to do interesting things.

    So yeah if you're itching to play persona but have either not been able to or have already played them a couple of times this might help scratch that itch.    … Expand

Gli elementi positivi del videogame, come la personalizzazione e alcune meccaniche, ad esempio il combat system riescono a bilanciare non più che discretamente i difetti regalando una buona esperienza. Tuttavia, le varie sbavature influiscono sulla qualità generale del titolo, che convincerà soprattutto chi è in cerca di un’esperienza appartenente al genere dei JRPG. Insomma, The Caligula Effect rimane a malincuore una grande occasione sprecata.… Expand

    A JRPG that will appeal to fans of the genre with its interesting setting and unique combat system, but it's ultimately marred by tedious battles and dull dialogue.
