Aug 24, 2020Gorgeous artwork and music, good story, awesome battle and faborability system. One thing that I think bad is DLC to make Persona 5 Royal has not been released (This is why I score 9 instead of 10). Still I cannot understand why. I'm sure that nobody cannot understand except marketing people in the publishing company.
-
Aug 27, 2020Fantastic and unique characters, stylish visuals, solid music, enjoyable variety in its main gameplay loop, and an engaging story from start to finish all set Persona 5 apart from the pack. Overall review: if you haven’t played this game yet, do yourself a favor and dive in.

Aug 27, 2020Greatest JRPG of the generation. The art, the music, the stylish nature of even the menus. The only issues I had with the game were with some quality of life choices & and the the most despicable adult you deal with is Kamoshida. I'm not saying the other guys aren't terrible people but it never felt as personal as it did in the first dungeon.
-
Aug 30, 2020Loveable characters, great story and a masterpiece of a game. That's Persona 5.
-
Aug 30, 2020When i first came into the JRPG world, i was honestly afraid of whether i would be able to get used to the battle tactics of the persona series. But looking back at it now, Persona 5 is by far the most intriguing and more or less complete rpg game I've ever gotten my hands on. I agree that its very slow in the first 20 or so hours but after that, you'll be begging for more.
-
Aug 30, 2020Persona 5 has some of the most likable characters and great gameplay with an amazing story and some great twists easily my favorite game of all time
-
Sep 5, 2020A really solid JRPG overall. The reason that I couldn't give it a 10 is that, I find the pace of the game is a bit slow at times and the dungeon gets a bit repetitive.
-
Sep 5, 2020Definitely one of my favorite PS4 games. Not a huge JRPG fan but this game was awesome. The battles are super fun. The story is interesting. Only negative point that comes to my mind is that the game itself is too long.
-
Sep 8, 2020As someone who has never played a persona game, I am in love with this one. People weren't lying about how good this game is.

Apr 6, 2022It is a really good game, with a lot to do, the only thing that messed it a bit for me is that i wasn't too invested in the story or gameplay to dedicate so many hours to the progress of the game, nevertheless, an amazing game that anyone should at least try.
-
Mar 2, 2022Well, in terms of the story and characters it's like a typical jrpg. This game doesn't have impressive writing or something. But it's really fun and long game.
-
Dec 12, 2022Very nice. I like it alot and i think its undetared for how good it is also shush those who have put it as negative.
-
Oct 29, 2022I was never interested in jrpg's until i played this, has to be one of the greatest games out there, if its your first time playing jrpgs this is a must buy game
-
Feb 19, 2022P5 is the best game! Strongly recommend it. But the fighting system is literally too easy.
-
Nov 23, 2021This game is pure perfection. Everything is done masterfully. It has the best characters I ever saw on any kind of media, the art style is the best one I saw, the soundtrack is perfect, and the story is divine. It's the best ps4 exclusive, by a mile, and also the best game I played (tying with p5r, p5s, p5d, p3d, p3fes and p4g). Yeah, I really love this franchise.

Nov 15, 2021The absolute cream of the crop of JRPGs. Incredible visuals, music, story and gaemplay. Must play.
-
Nov 28, 2021Play Royal instead as the improvements are worth it, but it's an astoundingly good game once you can get past the length.
-
Dec 6, 2021the Japanese again tried their best this game became popular even beyond the RPG community the first moments were similar to the four, but simplified and sometimes even improved Persians are good as in the previous parts I advise you to get familiar with the game from this part, because persona 3 is an old four for advanced players and a five just for beginners

Dec 20, 2021Advantages: quite good and interesting story, great combat, awesome music, awesome style, awesome UI, great characters, great gameplay, interesting boss fights, stylish palace designs, great game mechanics.
Disadvantages: boring mementos, Okumura's palace, annoying Okumura story arc. -
Jun 28, 2023My only complaint is that this game is far too long. I've got nothing against long games, but near 100 hours is too much in my opinion. If it was a bit shorter I would probably give it a 10, but it started to drag towards the end.

Mar 3, 2023The best game of all time.
Final Rating: "Masterpiece" ~ 10/10. -
Dec 31, 2021After almost 10 years from 4, Persona 5 is the resurrection of a master series. Great story, and character development. If it wasn't for Royal, which stepped up everything that could be stepped up, it would be easily a 10 for me. It deserves a chance to experience it even if you are not a fun of the genre!
-
Jan 20, 2022A beautiful game in every aspect. One of the best jrpgs of the last few years. The cons: too long and very repetitive.
-
Mar 20, 2022Love the Persona series, and 5 did not disappoint. Colorful cast of characters, excellent Persona compendium per usual along with great gameplay and plot. Had so much fun playing this and the dialogue between characters is hilarious. Also enjoy how you can build relationships with people.
-
Apr 10, 2023One of the best JRPG's of all time. Persona 5 was the first JRPG i have ever played and i F**KIN loved it. I played Persona 5 Royal more but i would recommend Persona 5 Royal AFTER playing Persona 5 because you will notice the changes.
-
Feb 17, 2022Psychological masterpiece, with deep story, many various characters, INSANE ost... The biggest, the most complete and simply the best Persona game so far.
-
Feb 18, 2022Obra maestra engancha de principio a fin buen, sistema de combate buena, dificultad, jefes y mazmorras interesantes, un elenco que sin duda no deja indiferente y una historia perfecta, es uno de esos juegos que debes jugar al menos una vez en la vida.
-
Feb 20, 2022Took me a long time to get through but I enjoyed the whole thing. Some segments drag and there are some instances of terrible writing, but it’s flaws mostly get obscured amidst all the good.

Mar 2, 2022MASTERPIECE. One of the best games I have ever had the pleasure of playing. Amazing animation, great characters, fantastic writing, spectacular gameplay and a wonderful world to explore. There is just so much to do.

Jun 7, 2022This game is a huge inspiration to me. The brilliant artwork and music are the perfect topping for the extremely enjoyable story and gameplay. The rpg elements are so smooth and fun, with the quick load-times and extreme customizability. The characters are all great, which is important because the whole game is based around the characters and their struggles. Overall a must play for any rpg fan.

-
Jun 14, 2022I very much enjoyed this game. I haven't played a persona game since the very first one, long long ago. There were some noticeable call backs, but the story was unique. The music was excellent, the game mechanics were not too complex, and the story was quite a fun romp. I don't play as many JRPGs as I used to, and I am glad that I decided to give this one a try.

Nov 27, 2022This game made me realize how important a good cast can be, and it got me into RPGS, and turn based battles. The story is great, the gameplay is great, the setting is great, the art style is great, the waifus are great and the soundtrack is god tier.
This game has it's issues, but not enough to remove it from my favorite game of all time. -
Nov 30, 2022Excellent game.
The combat system and the story are well made and let you enjoy the game without making it boring, even though it is a long game (around 60-80h)
Don't worry about the name, you don't have to play the preceding titles, since they're all stand-alone stories. -
Dec 31, 2022it's different from everything, a good turn based RPG with a really tripping story.

Feb 9, 2023Great Gameplay the best Soundtrack I have heard in a game so far and fun to play 90+ hours in recommended 100% for everyone
-
Feb 9, 2023cant say a good combat mode to fit in a 50h's walkthrough. However, others like music and graphics is so much modern and astonishing.
-
Mar 3, 2023One of my favorites of all time I love the characters and the overall look of the game is amazing. Weakest of the persona protagonists imo and the story itself drags pretty hard in places but after replaying it 4 times it still is something I could see myself coming back to.
-
Apr 17, 2023Despite my difficulties to enjoy it again, even in 2023, it is still a beautiful experience that I don’t talk about as much as before.

-
Apr 26, 2023Used to be obsessed with videos on you tube about the game and when I finally got to get a PlayStation and played it, it lived up to the hype. Absolutely love it, it is a masterpiece.
-
May 19, 2023a great game, the royal version turned Persona 5 from an 8 to a 10 for, 120 hours that never bored me and when i finished the game i felt so empty tht wanted to replay it one more time

Jul 18, 2023This game just made me happier in my life. This game is all you need when feeling frustrating, or sad, or anything at all. It makes you cry, laugh and enjoy. It is my favourite game, by far, after 20 years playing RPGs and more specifically, JRPGs.
-
Aug 10, 2023Beautiful game, incredible, hard to describe, it's been a long time since I felt like this with a game, if you're looking for a quality JRPG to play, you can go with Persona 5, best JRPG I've played in years.

Jun 4, 2019Persona 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.
-
Feb 22, 2018Persona 5 is a great example of quality jRPG game, with a good story, great battle system and fabulous artistic style, this is a must have for the fans of the series and the genre.
-
Oct 19, 2017Persona 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.
