    Одна из лучших, если не лучшая игра на PS4. Превосходный сюжет, хорошо прописанные персонажи, шикарный Геймплей, стиль, саундтрек на уровне Death Stranding, если не лучше.

    I’ve played a lot of video games but this none have captivated me like this one. This is a strong case for the best game of all time.

    New characters? Yes. A new engaging and thought provocative story arc? YES. New locations and mechanics? YES!! A DLC FEATURING YU AND MAKOTO FROM PREVIOUS GAMES !? HELL. F***ING. YES!!

    An absolute mastercrafted JRPG. The depth of interaction with the world around you is great for this genre.

    A game that improves on every aspect of the original Persona 5, and somehow manages to keep it fresh even if you've played the original. A must play and potential GOTY for 2020.

    100% worth it for the quality of life changes, and the free themes you get for getting every trophy in the game. The way they fleshed out characters from the original even more and the way the new characters integrate into the story is so well done. And also it comes with gosh dang Daifugo (Tycoon in the game) which is always a fun time

    Persona 5 was one of my favorite games of 2017, and royal did not disappoint on making a masterpiece, even better.
    Pretty much everything in this game is great, the game looks gorgeous with it's incredibly stylish UI, and outstanding music, very well done turn based combat and good enough plot.
    My main complaint about persona 5 vanilla, was that the plot could've been a lot better,    Persona 5 was one of my favorite games of 2017, and royal did not disappoint on making a masterpiece, even better.

    My main complaint about persona 5 vanilla, was that the plot could've been a lot better, considering only a few parts really surprised me, and a few characters needed to be more well built. Royal fixed both of those flaws (mostly), and made the combat system even better. It added a few characters, with two outstanding ones, being Maruki and Kasumi, which I think are some of the best written characters in the entire game. This is a great modern JRPG that you can't miss out if you like the genre, being very remarkable and fun.
    This game implements the time management better than any other game I've ever played (alongside Fire Emblem Three Houses), and the aesthetics for this game are the most remarkable I've ever seen.
    The Maruki arc, introduced in royal, was probably the best one story wise, and the ending was much better than the original's.
    Well I only said good things about this game, but my reasoning for why it's 9/10 instead of 10/10, is because, once you get used to the flashy visuals, the game starts losing it's style, and you start noticing it's flaws. The story could still be a bit better, some characters are annoying, and it's way too long. Okumura's arc sucked, and that's pretty much all I have to say about this game, a masterpiece indeed.    … Expand

    I have played the original when it came out and I would have rated it an 8/10 due to grinding and the bosses not being as interesting in combat.

And that is another think, the confidants (or social links) have added newer features that make it more worth while to hang out with each character. Another feature that made this game more re-playable is the Thieves den, which has it own achievement wall that unlocks artwork, model statues and displayed that can be places in the museum area and videos related to the game. I enjoyed every bit of this game as I did with Persona 4 Golden.… Expand

    I admit that I haven't finished it yet due to time constraints, but it is without a doubt one of the best games I've ever played. A fascinating JRPG that builds on an intriguing idea and simply keeps going.

    Update: I've finally finished it and I won't say anything further. Just buy the damn game

    Durante um "Ambush", o jogo toca uma nova música de batalha, que antes era só a Last Surprise, e essa música nova é tão viciante quanto.
    Todos os palácios foram refeitos com a nova mecânica do "Grappling Hook", permitindo que você vá para novas áreas de cada palácio abrindo mais possibilidades de exploração, especialmente com os novos itens colecionáveis em cada palácio, as "Will Seeds", os palácios também foram refeitos em certas partes, onde você pode ter que resolver um puzzle novo ou passar por uma área com inimigos novos, o que deu um novo objetivo nos palácios além de só chegar até o fim como se fosse um Mementos 2.0.
    Cada boss recebeu rework e deixou a batalha mais imersiva relacionado com o pecado do boss/sua personalidade distorcida, já que agora eles são mais desafiadores e requerem mais flexibilidade da sua equipe pra curar e atingir os pontos fracos, resumindo, a gameplay do jogo melhorou muito, com 300 horas de jogo no jogo base eu achei que ainda ficaria entediado passando por tudo mais uma vez, mas o jogo me manteve entretido até então e não enjoei um momento sequer.
    Além do novo arco com a nova personagem, o Royal recebeu um arco de redenção pra um personagem que foi querido pelos fãs do jogo base, dando mais contexto a sua personalidade e a sua motivação, o que deixou mais claro seu papel na história.
    Os Confidants tiveram suas habilidades de "level up" aprimoradas e em alguns casos, foram refeitas e melhoradas a um nivel extremo (sim, estou falando de você Ryuji), melhorando ainda mais sua gameplay especialmente pela grande diversidade de vantagens que você ganha durante a gameplay tanto dentro de uma batalha quanto fora dela durante uma exploração, e com os novos dois Confidants, só melhorou mais a expêriencia.
    O novo modo "Thieves' Den" adicionou uma galeria pro jogo, onde você pode ver imagens e cutscenes do jogo, além de jogar um minigame divertido de cartas com os personagens jogáveis da história, além de poder colocar a trilha sonora que você quiser do jogo no ambiente enquanto faz algo. Com o novo sistema de "Achievements", você tem um novo objetivo pra jogar 100% do jogo, pra comprar tudo que a galeria tem a oferecer, música, imagens, cutscenes, visual pro seu palácio, é muita coisa pra aproveitar e que definitivamente vale a pena.
    No geral, Persona 5 Royal melhorou um jogo que já era incrível por si só, consertando todos os erros que o jogo base tinha que, apesar de divertido, deixava a desejar em certos momentos, como o Mementos.
    Com inúmeras melhorias de gameplay, história e exploração, o jogo finalmente se encontra num estado perfeito.
    Não mencionei o novo modo "Challenge Battle" e nem as imúmeras melhoras na Velvet Room entre outras coisas novas pois a análise ficaria mais longa do que já está, mas acredite, o jogo COM CERTEZA não é só uma história nova, mas é uma experiência nova e emocionante principalmente para veteranos da franquia.    … Expand

    Persona 5 Royal was my first Persona game and I LOVED every second of this game!
    The Story is Amazing! The characters (besides 2 I can't stand) are all loveable!
    Got the Platinum Trophy because I really enjoyed it and that means something!
    Can't wait for the PS5 Version!!

    If you like RPGs that combine typical RPG stuff with social activities like jobs, friendship, side quests with an individual story of themselves, this behemoth of a game is the right game for you.
    Pros:
    - Loveable (for the most part), different characters - Intriguing story - Very well thought-out combat - Lots of different options to increase your social stats, so it's not just    If you like RPGs that combine typical RPG stuff with social activities like jobs, friendship, side quests with an individual story of themselves, this behemoth of a game is the right game for you.
    Pros:
    - Loveable (for the most part), different characters
    - Intriguing story
    - Very well thought-out combat
    - Lots of different options to increase your social stats, so it's not just braindead farming untitl everything is maxed out. You can read books, play video games, go to the gym, the cinema, take part in burger eating competitions and lots of other things.
    - Great enemy design: Apart from bosses pretty much every minor as well as major enemy has a weakness that you can use to either negotiate to make them join you as a Persona for you to use or extort them for money or items. Bosses however are a different thing as most of them don't have a weakness, but you can still inflict status ailments on them and have a chance for a technical which basically works like "hit the weakness" attack, but with a lot more damage under certain circumstances.

    Cons:
    - You can't skip cut- and story scenes, all you can do is fast forward
    - You can revive everyone else, but if your main dies it's game over which is especially annoying in the early parts of the game because enemies can basically one-shot you like this.
    - Some characters join you really late in the game so they're naturally far behind on confidant levels which of course not a game breaker, but still a bit annoying since some of them only stay for a while.

    TL;DR
    It's a fanastic game and if you're into turn-based rpgs this is the one where you absolutely get your moneys worth. I've spend well over 200 hours on Persona 5 and my playthroug on Persona 5 Royal will probably also be around 100 hours. Platinum included, but still.    … Expand

    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.

    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.
