    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoilers!

    Despite the fact that this game gave us Morgana, a character that I hate so much that 5000000 characters would not be enough to space to list all my objections to his existence, the game remains one of the best I've ever played and absolutely poggers.
    The game's greatest strength is definitely it's characters and story, but the thing it does better than any other game is it's ability to make you despise it's villains. I'm talking "want to rip their spines out and whip them with their own vertebrae".
    First you have the Alpha male, the bully, the jock, the King. He's a representation of the Japanese schooling system, and the game is so brazen about it's critique that it turns the school into a sick palace made by this guy's mind.
    Then you have what is essentially a critique of the unfortunate tendencies of the Japanese to exploit child labour, paired with a metaphor for an internship model, showing actual monuments to people that this system has completely ruined.
    Following that is a crime boss who sees the entire city as his own personal bank, to the point of making civilians into ATMs. Yet another unsubtle kick to the bollocks for Japanese society, this time for the way it treats it's people. They had to dress it up a little in the form a crime boss, but frankly the criminal aspect is almost negligible in this sequence.
    The next villain is a bloody CEO, and just in case you thought he was going to have some redeeming qualities, he's also willing to sell his daughter into marriage with an abusive pervert! Then we get a look into how this man sees the world, and it's... He sees people as slave labour. Straight up, people are his slaves and he will use them as literal fuel for a corporate furnace.
    Next target is the Justice system, and they decided to compare the Japanese court system to a Las Vegas style casino, where all the games are rigged and the house always wins. Not a lot more to say about that one other than the fact that the final boss is portrayed as an unstoppable war machine, really hammering home the point that the system is vicious and violent and will squish anyone under it's fat wheels.
    Second to last is a politician, and holy cow, this one's taken all the hate that was carefully cultivated by all the other villains and then given us a cathedral to people like them. Not a literal cathedral, mind you, but a cruise ship, filled with the mental projection of people who could have hypothetically been other villains in the story (hundred of them) and having them all ruled over by the Prime Minister of the country, dressed as Napoleon, and steering the elites through the sunken wreckage of the country.

    So, you'd think they'd stop there, having systematically attacked every aspect of Society. But wait, there's more! The last boss is actually Society itself, manifested as a god who would genuinely like to destroy the world because it view people (meaning that Society views people) as without purpose, worth or point of existence. It turns the entire world into a barren hellscape, pulled from the little minds of the people that make up Japan's society. The message is obvious. "This isn't the fault of the Elites, the Criminals, the Bullies and the Bastards. This is your fault!"

    And while the game is far from subtle in it's spiteful views on Japan and it's people, it really takes the time to make them seem even worse, by sprinkling in minor villains ranging across thieves, abusive parents, abusive teachers, horrible employers and bullying children. And then there's school, in which you will be given titbits of useful information, all loosely tied to the current villain and white a right piece of filth they are. (Example, meeting the CEO who view his employees as robots, then a few days later learning that robot translates to Slave Labour)

    Loads of games try to get political, pitting you against the world and letting you change it through choice and action, but those games are usually set in other worlds, not in modern-day Tokyo. And even games that shape the world around broken systems and abused power, don't manage to tie it's villains to the world in such a perfect way. Usually, JRPGs don't give you a huge amount of satisfaction with every move you make, but I cherished every single attack I threw at those bosses.

    Characters are also brilliant, as is animation, graphics and I'd be mad as a hatter not to mention the sexy HUD and Menus. All in all, one of the best games ever made, and I'd say anyone who doesn't like it needs a change of heart.    … Expand

    a friend recommended this to me so I spent £150 to buy it even the persona 5 royal already came out and oh my god it was such a waste of time. if you want to play this buy royal the superior edition. be warned though because that game has a ton of pay to win micro transactions and also has and awful camera, awful graphics, awful controls and bad theme.

    My personal favorite game ever. Maybe not objectively the best and the fandom sucks for it. A great linear story that isn't surface-level and when finished will make you want to play Royal immediately after.

    Persona 5 is not the masterpiece people claims it to be. First of all, I need to point out that I played Persona 5 (not Royal) on Playstation 5 as it was included with it throught the Playstation plus collection. I gave it a try on the Playstation 3, however it didn't catch my attention as there was many great release around the same time that made me drop the game about 15 or so hours ofPersona 5 is not the masterpiece people claims it to be. First of all, I need to point out that I played Persona 5 (not Royal) on Playstation 5 as it was included with it throught the Playstation plus collection. I gave it a try on the Playstation 3, however it didn't catch my attention as there was many great release around the same time that made me drop the game about 15 or so hours of playtime. First, I will point out the positive. The artistic direction of the game is still one of the best to date. The menu, transition and animation is top notch and makes this PS3 game puts to shame other games released today on lower end hardware like the Switch. It's very generous in content as over 130 hours is needed to finish the first playthrough. While other games went on the easy route to switch the gameplay to active battle, Persona stay true to it's roots and kept it a turn base combat game
    Now for the not so good. First of all, while this is very subjective, I hate the music tracks with a passion. Not all of the tracks are hawfull, hoverver, most of them are. Also, I needed to put headphones during most of my playthrough as my wife always complained as she despised the music so much.
    My second negative concerns the main hero. During the 140 hours played so far, I could not give a $4!& about him. The almost silent protagonist is faced with choices thruout the adventures, but most of the choice given makes no sense. I could not believe how many time I was frustrated as all choice where not one I would make. That is when the choice are not exactly the same as other decisions are like: 1-Yes 2-Hmm. Yes. 3-Yes, I think. I was missing so much the great dialogue options of other games like the Mass Effect trilogy. Also, one of the most stupid thing is that you will be asked several questions at school and if you ALREADY know the answer, you will RAISE your knowledge, but if you don't, the teacher will tell you the correct answer and your knowledge will not raise.
    My third and main problem is that the games drags for way too long as most of the game feels tedious. It's soo long in fact, they didn't even have the cast read the dialogue. I found myselft even fast fowarding dialogues that seems unrelated to the main story as they where boring and poorly written. I would have prefered a shorter(60 hours) fully voice acted main story with optionnal side quest.
    Lastly, I don't like the tone of the game, making adults look like they are the villain and depicting japanese culture prone to xenophobism. To me age has nothing to do with how you are as a person, as stupid adult where previously stupid teenagers. I felt awkard playing a game with such ageism. Also the fact that the game is so much ancored in the japanese culture without any taint of any other culture makes me feels out of place.

    To wraps it up, this game feels like a waste of my precious time. The story should have been told in 30% of it's time and the flow should have been better. Overall, I feel stupid wasting time on such a game and only wished there was more turn based games to fill in the void made when Final Fantasy decided to kill the franchise when they made the game action based.    … Expand

    now the rpg parts are the worst I've ever seen, the turns doesn't make any sense and you just have to go weak, weak, weak or you are screwed, no matter that the opponent is 10 levels lower than you, he can kill all your team in one turn. The sp is horrible, only in the last stages you can have something to replenish it and for a game that NEEDS to use SP ALWAYS is horrible.

    So I'll break it down. I love anime style graphics. It is my preference in games but they must have tried really hard to make it this ugly.

    Next the OST. Well if you happen to be a fan of the genre 70's porn music then this will be right up your alley. Don't think this means 70's funk because it isn't, I love 70's funk. This is just crap porno music.

    The story. He's such a bad guy, watch out for that guy, let's stay clear of him, why did he have to come to this school, I heard he got arrested, ......bored yet. Well if not then great because you'll get hours of rubbish dialogue saying just that.

    Gameplay - same as everything else, bland dated and boring. I don't play many menu combat games often but all other similar recent games I played such as Ara Fell and Dragon Star Varnir were more enjoyable.

    The dungeons as with the entire game feel completely dated.

    So why 1/10 and not 0/10. Somehow the combination of junk all seems to tie in well together. Games must feel cohesive for me to enjoy them and I can't deny it that. It feels like a team working together made this, not just individual parts winged together. The dialogue in this makes the SAO games look exciting to read. At least with SAO the game was fun between the dialogue.

    Overall this game sucks balls.    … Expand

The gameplay has a lot of rinse and repeat aspects. It becomes a chore to keep playing. Because of this I would get into auto-pilot playing mode and then quite suddenly would be somehow killed; thus undoing an hour or more of gameplay.

    There are two types of games in Japan. 1 minute conversation and 59 minutes fighting (like dark souls). And 59 minutes conversation and 1 minute fighting is this Persona.

    One of the most disappointing games I've ever played. I'm glad this was free, I just wish I hadn't spent my time on it. I'm not even going to point out the redeeming qualities of this game given that it has 4,350 positive reviews (and only 500 negative). If you ask the fans, it's the best rpg ever, the best atlus game, and it's nearly perfect. I couldn't disagree more.

    P5 is an    One of the most disappointing games I've ever played. I'm glad this was free, I just wish I hadn't spent my time on it. I'm not even going to point out the redeeming qualities of this game given that it has 4,350 positive reviews (and only 500 negative). If you ask the fans, it's the best rpg ever, the best atlus game, and it's nearly perfect. I couldn't disagree more.

    P5 is an over-stylized, highly polished game completely lacking in substance, real style, challenge, or fun. Though it teases you with a vast overworld and hints of interesting combat, what you will get instead is countless hours of hand-holding, pure repetition, monotony, and bad writing. The game consists of nothing more than tacky visual novel storytelling, tedious time management, and the most repetitive combat gameplay I have ever experienced.

    Combat in p5 consists of using a barely functioning stealth system which is nothing but flashy button prompts to enter into 'fights'. 'Fights' go as follows: You hit their weak point, they fall down. You hit their weak point, they fall down. Once every enemy falls down, you use a group attack. This is >90% of the fighting, which is the only real gameplay in P5.

    Aesthetically, the game looks and sounds nice at first, but you will soon realize you've been listening to the same bad attempts at jazz/funk on repeat for the last lifetime while Morgana has been yelling at you every five seconds, as they do the entire game. You will watch the same boring animations over and over and over and over while listening to the same underwhelming, and frankly bad music over and over and over. The worlds look great, the characters look nice (except Panther), the fighting is flashy, but by the time you've completed the first dungeon you will have seen/heard pretty much everything there is to see/hear well over a hundred times. Now get ready to repeat this entire cycle countless more times.

    Okay, so the sound and visuals are repetitive, and the combat is boring and not challenging, and Morgana is annoying. Surely the amazing story makes up for this? Well, let's talk about the 'story'.

    P5 starts strong with a clear theme which is reinforced by everything around you. You are trapped, imprisoned. The world around you restricts you and the main positive force in this world is 'the spirit of rebellion' with which you reclaim your spirit and fight against these literal and metaphorical shackles.

    Sounds awesome, right? Yes, well, you will not hear about any of this again. Sadly this great idea and theme, which is even used as a visual theme in the interrogation room and the velvet room, is not actually part of the story at all. Instead it drops into the very loose concept of 'phantom thieves' which is ultimately nothing more than the exact same formula you'd expect from other persona titles. High schoolers, bad guy, psychic world, bla bla bla. Any interesting story arcs are suffocated under gags, overly drawn out sequences, and the pure monotony of the game.

    P5 is also sorely lacking in nuance, depth, and taste. Do you enjoy long hallways of busts of schoolgirls in tight, small outfits? Do you like hour long gags about the hypersexualized literal 'catgirl' character being forced to take all her clothes off? Well, I don't. And it's sad to see such awful creative decision making undermine this story just like they did in P4. Cheap gags, shallowness, and cliches pervade and infest the world of P5, but there is no rebellion against these distortions because it's just the nature of this trite storytelling.

    Perhaps there is something good buried under hundreds of hours of Morgana yelling the exact same voices lines at you and controlling everything you do, being forced into 100% linear gameplay for most of the game, and doing the exact same combat cycles with literally the exact same button combinations for entire dungeons. In fact, I'm sure there is. Maybe I'll watch the cutscenes on youtube or something, because I'm not finishing this profoundly boring timesink of a visual novel which people are calling a game.    … Expand

    This game is stupid in every sense of the word. 40 hrs in and I still get killed by normal mobs. Even at level 30. I might as well play dark souls.

    Persona 5 is an absolutely amazing game that convinces with its art style, music and story. It has anything one could ask for such a game and more. The turn-based battle system offers a wide array of opportunities. While it may not be everyone's cup of tea, it is definitely recommended to give it a go.

    Persona 5 beats every other turn-based RPG in terms of production values, combat, story, symbolics, character design, music, pace and variety. 2017 is a great year for gaming and Persona 5 confirms this with a load of unmatched swagger.
