    Persona 5 was already the best JRPG of all time but in persona 5 royal they improved the little flaws the game had. The soundtrack is the best ever in a game, the story is amazing and so is the gameplay it is very quick for a turn based combat game which lots of people will probably like.

The voice acting is incredible and the artsylte is perfect. Although there is one thing i didn't like with the game and that is the new character Kasumi, is only playable in the final dungeon other than that this game is basically perfect.… Expand

    By far the best PS4 game of all time, it's a remake on an already amazing JRPG. For real??!

    I have been a Fan of the series for years now (specifically since Persona 3 FES) . I've played all of them so far - including some of the spin-offs - and I gotta say: Atlus did it again.

While the changes are numerous it never felt like they are taking anything away from the original experience yet    I have been a Fan of the series for years now (specifically since Persona 3 FES) .

    Original Persona 5 was already a fantastic game, but Persona 5 Royal made a step even further by adding tons of new activities. New characters, fantastic soundtrack, bosses, personas etc. make game even better. More achievements were added and confidant system was improved. More DLC personas were added to the store, and they are fantastic in terms of gameplay.

    I have played Persona 5 which I very much enjoyed so I was excited to pick this up. There’s tons of new features and even the story and dungeons have many new additions to the point that it feels like playing a new but familiar game. One of the best JRPGs and RPGs of the decade!

    Not only is it the best Persona game yet, it is also the best Persona re-release. As someone who only got to watch game play of the original Persona 5, Royal didn't feel repetitive at all.

The battle system is fresh and fun. On many occasions, I have had to do battle after battle in a single Palace entry, but the game never felt annoying. The story is fantastic. It talks about real world issues and gives quite the topics for conversation. There are some points where the game just feels like a copy of the original with no new content, these moments are excusable, as the story is worth visiting again.… Expand

    It really just takes Persona 5 and adds upon/improves a lot of aspects, there are some things that are exactly the same as the original. But seeing how it was already was a very good game and that there are enough improvements that you never go to long without noticing them, makes it a perfect score for me.

    Quite literally the best game of all time, crafted with expertise precision from its vanilla predecessor. The quality of life changes made to this game enhance its formula in every way shape and form. There is no better JRPG than the 5th entry of Persona, and Royal cements its legacy in a defining take on what it means to be a Japanese role playing title.

    Игра лучше оригинала по всем параметрам, все изменения отлично смотрятся. Третий семестр сюжетно превосходит первые два хоть и короток. Стоит отметить эмоциональную финальную битву и новые концовки которые ничем не хуже старых. Если вы ещё не играли в P5, то это отличный шанс попробовать. Если вы уже играли в P5, то я думаю уже решили играть или нет.Игра лучше оригинала по всем параметрам, все изменения отлично смотрятся. Третий семестр сюжетно превосходит первые два хоть и короток.

    Everything from the base game is either here, or improved upon. I know you've probably heard that a lot, but seriously.

Between making it more fun to progress through any given palace, but also easier to do with a lot of options for SP replenishment upfront. Not to mention the fact that you can do whatever you want in Yongen-Jaya at night, regardless of whether or not you entered the metaverse. The Thieves Den is very interesting, and I find myself visiting it just to play the card game called "Tycoon". Everything about it so far is definitely worth the price of buying it again full price.

    Persona 5 Royal allows players to experience the story they already love in a new way without losing any of the beauty from the original game. New and old characters get their chance to shine through and steal your heart, even the ones you never expected to. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and maybe you’ll even feel a sense of justice for the infamous Phantom Thieves in the end. But one thing you won’t feel is regret in picking up Persona 5 Royal, as it’s truly the best Persona title, if not one of the best video games, I’ve ever experienced to date.

    This is not more of the same, this is not an optional add-on to the original game. This, my friends, is the perfect experience, down to the last letter, down to the last minute. Persona 5 Royal is a Japanese crown jewel.

    All of the new additions and content mean that Persona 5 Royal is a clear upgrade to the original. New players should seek this version without hesitation, although vets may find starting the game over from scratch to be too big an ask. Either way, there’s no doubt that Persona 5 Royal sits proudly on the throne of Peak Persona… or at least it will until Atlus decides they can do even more with it.
