    I have very mixed feelings on this game. Don't get me wrong, I find this game very fun, but there are some issues that made me feel not so great about the game. First of all, you are almost always shackled with a deadline which puts pressure the player and what choice they should make with the time they have.

Don't get me wrong, I find this game very fun, but there are some issues that made me feel not so great about the game. First of all, you are almost always shackled with a deadline which puts pressure the player and what choice they should make with the time they have. Not a good system to put with a semi-JRPG when JRPGs are usually supposed to be long and have a lot of time for exploration. This at least, caused me to feel overwhelmed on what to do with my time since and there wasn't really anything that was signaling what is more important than what. Second, the boring dialogue. I usually don't mind this but this game just had dialogue that was so basic that I could not stop getting annoyed at it. And yes, there is a skip dialogue button, but I was always worried that I would miss something important because you will never actually know because if you skip over it, then you wont know that you even missed it. This game also has very repetitive gameplay, just wandering through labyrinths, and the combat starts out super addicting but then it just becomes a system where you either do a ton of damage to the enemy or the enemy just kills you. This game is pretty well done in most areas but these few things really got a kick out of me which is why i'm giving it a 7/10… Expand

    Um verdadeiro e perfeito exemplo dos melhores JRPGs que existe, mesclando muito bem, história e gameplay.

    Hikayesi ile başarılı bir yapım, evrenine kendini çekiyor. Karakterler, yaratıklar özgün. Grafik açısından daha iyi olabilirdi fakat Playstation 3 döneminde duyurulmuş bir oyun için yine de iyi olduğunu düşünüyorum.

    Persona 5 Royal is the ultimate way to experience the renowned game. It may be worth a lower price upgrade if you already have it on the PlayStation 4, but for newcomers, it is hands down the best edition to get. And you should.

    Persona 5 Royal takes the formula established by the previous games and refines it to almost perfection. The intricacies of every system in the game, be it social- or combat-related, might be hard to understand at first, but Persona 5 Royal is pretty generous with objective deadlines, as well as tips and hints. However, if you want to get all that the game has to offer in terms of story, that’s a completely different tune. The outstanding soundtrack and visuals, as well as the top-notch combat system, social interactions, great characters and voice acting make Persona 5 Royal a JRPG masterpiece. This is a game that has little to no flaws, so everyone who loves the genre should make the time to play it.

    Atlus has undoubtedly created a definitive experience that takes the crown jewel JRPG of the generation. Persona 5 Royal improves on everything the vanilla version was lacking, with new content, gameplay adjustments, and quality of life improvements, whilst telling a compelling narrative with colorful characters. This PlayStation 5 native port may be off-putting to previous owners on PlayStation 4 with no upgrade paths, but the faster load times, silky smooth 60 frames per second, 4K native resolution, and all included DLC make this title a must-play for any JRPG fan.
