    Лучшая из современных Персон, первую и вторую не беру в расчет там своя атмосфера. Кто то может сказать что игру упростили, но это не так, игру довели до ума, поправили нюансы и шероховатости, добавили нового контента и расширили историю. В таком виде настоятельно рекомендую всем любителям JRPG!Лучшая из современных Персон, первую и вторую не беру в расчет там своя атмосфера.

    This is definetely the best game I have ever played. A significant improvement from persona 5, I have spent 150+ hours and still want to play way more.
    The last arc of the story was the best one, somehow beating the last persona 5 arc. It was extremely good storywise, and very emotional.
    It's the best JRPG out there without a doubt, and a must play.

    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!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Replayed through the whole game a second time just for an extra 12 hours of gameplay after the end. Riveting. The new party member isnt even available until the third semester either, making her a real waste. And the third semester itself is just one new month and palace that isnt even longer than prior ones. Sad.
    The new content was disapointing. Spoilers

    I know there are a few extra scenes and gameplay improvements here and there but at the end of the day this is like 20 dollar DLC being sold as a full price game. Pretty outrageous. It should have been DLC. I honestly feel as though Atlus sprinkled in this stuff into the main game just to have an excuse as to why this was a full release lol.    … Expand

    令人讨厌的结局，宣传的新女主角戏份过少。玩过原版的人还要花时间重头再来一遍令人厌烦。

    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.

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

    P5R is the best JRPG on PS4. P5 was great, but P5R is even better. They improved certain parts of the gameplay, they expanded the original story and they added a lot of interesting things. The graphic, music and sound are great. Overall, the game is awesome.

    I have played the original Persona 5 before, and it is truly a game worth playing.

    Simple easy Review here, i paid £50 got an easy 70 hours of gameplay out of it. The new content i haven't even seen it all yet but this is based solely on my first playthrough.

    If you have not played Persona 5 before this is the perfect game for you to buy if you've been thinking of getting it. It's a final mix version so its the same price people paid last time but more content, so its    Simple easy Review here, i paid £50 got an easy 70 hours of gameplay out of it.

    Now the things to warn you about, if you don't like ALOT of cutscenes/text based stuff then its not for you. This game plays out day by day and you interact with different people/things each day. Inbetween palaces you could be doing this for a couple hours. Though there is a dungeon you can do between palaces if you wan't a break from all the talking and just want to get into RPG stuff. This is also a Turn based RPG 100%, there is no real time combat at all. This game is done really well and from a previous persona player i'm stoked they changed it this much but kept the elements of the game and improved it by loads. The old dungeons used to be corridors and boxed rooms. Now its full on creative places that you can explore where each room is different from the last and actually looks like the palace its based on.    … Expand

This game is so addicting and I sat through an entire week playing and used a week of vacation because it means that much to me! Should be game of the year but it depends on if it qualifies!

    Can't justify another $60 on a game. This should have been dlc or at least discounted digitally for people who bought the original.

    Quite literally one of the best PS4 exclusives made has become even better with this new edition.

    Everything from the story-telling, role-playing mechanics, and main gameplay is incredibly enjoyable and well thought out. I truly recommend this game to Japanese pop-culture and game fans who have a PS4!

    The Phantom Thieves are back in action with Persona 5 Royal, which has taken my heart by expanding on what made Persona 5 great. The small changes throughout the game along with refined gameplay mechanics and new characters make the game feel fresh. Whether you’re a newcomer to the series or coming back from the original Persona 5, you will be in for a great experience.

Even if you played Persona 5 (2017) this game still has so much new additions, that it even makes it feel so new and fresh at times, for example you have new combat changes new improvements in the dungeons overall new stories to get through new music and the best addition the thieves den. Persona 5 Royal is a game that all gamers must experience, it is a flawless perfect creation and it might very well be one of the greatest games ever made.

    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.
