    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

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

    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

    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.

    This game is selling for full price and I can totally see why, this game adds another 25 hours of content which is easily more hours then a new game which is releasing, but they have also improved on the original games content.

    Changing bosses to have new and unique phases although not all have changed, I believe around 8 of the 10 bosses have had some change, 7 for better and 1 for worst. Will seeds are great as they reward exploration with three hidden around the map although they can easily be found (only had trouble finding one). The grapple hook is also a nice addition although you won't be using it to traverse the map as much as I thought, but it will be used for something else a lot which was appreciated.

    Two new confidants and one reworked have been added to the game. Kasumi and Dr. Maruki are great additions to the game having something to do with the bigger picture which I loved and the abilities they give to the protagonist are great which added a new layer to an already complex yet simple game. Akechi's reworked confidant is one of my favorites of the game and will happily do his each time I play.

    The new mechanics which are added during battles do make the game easier in certain ways but also make the battle system much more interesting and strategic, for example the purple glowing shadows which explode after attacking them, you have to decide whether or not you want to unleash a ton of damage on them and possibly not get the persona which you want because the purple shadow damages the enemies around it, I loved that and hope this will continue to be expanded in future persona games.

    Mementos is now actually fun to grind now because of another new character named Jose. Give him stamps have the choice to increase XP, money or items earned. Obviously the XP is the best choice and I found myself leveling up every few minutes instead of every 10+ minutes. Flowers could also be traded in for items which many of these items are useful.

    The new big selling point though was the mysterious third semester which had a whole new palace, boss and many hours of new content. I must say this may be my favorite of what ATLUS has created in the persona series. The villain is great, you definitely will be sympathetic towards that person, probably my favorite villain in the game. There is a lot of twists as well in the semester and I was amazed and open mouthed at a lot of them, it definitely left me thinking and wanting to continue playing the game, I struggled to put down the controller during these moments. The palace as well is great, definitely top 3 of the game in my opinion and the palace theme is great. The puzzles are simple until you get to the last one which definitely will be compared to a certain other in the game, but I liked this one a lot more and felt extremely satisfied when I figured it out.

    Overall this is the best game since the Witcher 3 or Bloodborne in my opinion, it improves on everything ATLUS created in the original version and expands on the games battle system and story. This was worth the money I spent without a doubt and cannot wait to replay the game. For all Persona fans this is a must play before Scramble comes out.    … Expand

    Honestly, this game deserves game of the year.
    You take an incredible game (Persona 5) and essentially turn it into a director's cut with a lot of new content and changes that make the game overall more enjoyable. If you had any issues with vanilla Persona 5, they are most likely resolved in Royal.
    Overall, fantastic game, deserves all the praise it is getting.

While the series has always straddled the line between too much text/cutscenes compared to gameplay and the original P5 was pushing it, Royal crosses that line by adding on more cutscenes, arcs, and characters that do nothing while only adding one new palace in a new semester that you only see if you do specific confidants before a specific part of the game and some cheap extensions to old palaces to pad them out.

    This version of P5 is also the easiest of the mainline Persona games by a big margin to the point I’m wondering why they even made Royal a game and not an anime special. If you have played any SMT game, any previous Persona game (especially the original P5), Pokemon, Final Fantasy, or any other turn-based battle game, you’ll be bored outside of the flashy graphics.

    And then there is the story. It carries the beats from the original, having a strong start with strong messages and interesting characters but wearing out and gradually adding characters that don’t do anything and becoming unfocused as the story goes on, but now in Royal you get even more filler. My big hope for Royal was cleaning up Persona 5’s ending by giving focus to character who were added late and never got to be important, answering questions like what happened with Goro, or dealing with unresolved character issues like Morgana’s unresolved feeling towards Ann, addressing how Haru and Futaba felt toward what Goro did to their parents, Makoto’s relationship with her sister... but nahhh let us all focus on this new girl Kasumi even though she’s only on the team for one palace and then leaves!

    I will give it some points because the graphics are better and the soundtrack is expanded and such, but this is still a weak game and I still wouldn’t have given this a high score even if the original didn’t exist to compare with.    … Expand

    You know a remake of a game is badly designed when you need a walkthrough just to unlock the new semester that has the majority of the new story content. Adding insult to injury, the new story and characters aren’t even good. If you are craving persona, ignore royal and replay the original until P6.

    I do not understand the 10/10 reviews from people who played both the royal and the regular version of persona 5. This version is the same as the old one but with cheap upgrades like brighter graphics, poorly integrated new characters that don’t effect the plot and only become important in an optional semester, and mini games that you’ll play once and never touch again.

    Very solid game that adds on to the base game, definitely worth for the new additions, The final semester of the game is brilliant and the final boss is even more so. The anime cutscenes still look like garbage unfortunately but the brilliant music, characters, voice acting, story and gameplay loop make up for it tenfold.

    Persona 5 is a great game, but buy the original for $20, not this $60 scam.
    I'd even rate this a 10/10 if I could upgrade my vanilla copy of P5 for like $20 or something, but nope.

A truly unique experience, if you by chance haven't played Persona 5 then I can not stress enough how much I recommend this game.

    I was lucky enough to get this a week early and I’m already about 80 hours into it, and it’s absolutely amazing, and that the original which should’ve easily been GOTY, could be improved on, it’s been improved to be one off the all time great games. A true 10/10.

    I enjoyed the original Persona 5. While not a perfect game or even close to it, I played through it all and platinumed it. That being said, Royal is literally just Atlus cash-grabbing at desperate fans. Imagine slapping on some small amount of basic content at the end and then charging full price again for an almost 4 year old game. Brand new experience? Not even close.

    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.
