    One of the best games I've ever played. It is even better then P5R, because the story makes more sense in the original and it isn't overloaded with to much content. 95h is long enough.

How much it impacted me throughout my teenage years and helped me with my struggles? How it expanded my horizons and introduced me to JRPGs, some of my favorite games, Anime and Japanese Culture?... The characters I met in this game, they felt real and very relatable in many ways, they gave me a place to stay and I felt like I belonged somewhere. The things they all go through really hit me right in the feels, I cheered for them and their motivation to keep going forward and I wanted them to succeed because I was a part of them. Now, for the story, the game touches some very serious and dark themes such as abusing the weak, depression & insecurities, greed for power, anthropology and how humans think & act, carving your own path in society, making your dreams come true by achieving them and not giving up, which in my eyes is one of the most compelling & deep stories I've ever experienced. Personally this game really helped me with my social anxiety and gave me the motivation to escape from it, as someone who just became an adult, I finally have a goal in my life. Enough for the story, let's talk about the flawless combat system, which in my opinion is the most advanced turn based game I've ever experienced, from the very satisfying and fast paced combat mechanics to the masterfully crafted animations, this is a very enjoyable game even for those who aren't into turn based games. As for the social simulator aspect, it's my favorite part of the game, bonding with the characters and experiencing their stories, helping them with their problems, gaining new abilities that enhance the combat mechanics, you can definitely see the effort that was put into the game. I also want to talk about the super stylish animations which are very charming & exciting to look at, the art style is the best I've ever seen period, no other game has such style as this one, from the Showtimes, All-Out Attacks, and special abilities to the menus, everything looks absolutely stunning, and even the in-game animations share this "comic book" art style that fits perfectly into the game, aswell as for the music, which is easily the best soundtrack I've ever heard, not a single song that I don't like, I literally listen to the game's music everyday, it became a part of my life. I think this is everything I wanted to say about this masterpiece of a videogame, it's a very long, emotional & unforgettable journey.… Expand

    Such an amazing game. I started playing the game with no prior knowledge about the game.

    Provavelmente meu jogo favorito dessa geração (e outras mais). História, jogabilidade, trilha sonora.. totalmente impecaveis. Para o povo brasileiro tem o "problema" da falta de localização, mas se você entende de inglês / japonês, não tem o que pensar.

    Life changing game. In my whole life I just cried with a handful of games, and this was one of them. Not because some character died, or something sad happened on the story, but because it ended. Up to this day, a year later from purchasing the game, I'm still in love with it, and its music. Personal fabourite video game soundtrack.

    Firstly, I've never played a Persona or SMT game before so this doesn't come from any pre-existing bias to the series.

    This is genuinely the best PS4 game I've played to date and one of my favourite games of all time. The story is truly remarkable. The characters are well written and the way you develop your confidant relationships with them will really show by the end of the game. It feels so real as if you really got to know them. The music is 10/10 and has one of the best soundtracks for a game that I've ever heard. It has a wide range of different moods in the songs, all of which are great to listen to during your day. The plot is also outstanding. Although the game may be +120 hours, you will enjoy the story if you stick to it. Battle mechanics are also very easy to get used to and incredibly fun.

    I can't recommend this game enough.The sheer amount of content in this game is really what games should aim for. This is truly a game that is worth every penny because it was made with passion.    … Expand

    Perfeição. Comecei a gostar de jogos em turno graças a Persona 5,que é pra mim não só o Goty do ano que lançou, mas muito provavelmente de toda geração. Difícil um jogo com campanha me manter preso por 120 horas completamente viciado. The Witcher 3 mesmo pra mim se tornou secante depois das 30horas

    If you like RPG’s you’ll love this game. It does take about 4 hours to get good though, but the entire game is about 80-100 hours of content.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Greatest game i've ever played. Extremely addicting game, they have many improvements in gameplay since P4. If you say this game is bad, that's mean you're just suck and have never played the Megami Tensei series. P5's story is kinda good and many side stories and stuffs based on the dark side of Japan. All I need is some sorts of story inspired by the reality like a PE teacher with sexual harassment, bla bla bla,...

    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.
