    If Divinity 2 is the pinnacle of Western-style RPGs, Persona 4 is the pinnacle of JRPGs. The charming companions and sub-quests are a fantastic balance to the heavy, dark main story, keeping you entertained throughout your playthrough.

    The Story is great as well as the gameplay. You just want to continue playing, to find out what is going in this town.

    One of the greatest games of all time. Fantastic story, character, plot, music, everything about Persona 4 Golden is perfect. It indeed is golden. It was my first Persona game, and I've never looked back.

The small town setting is an elite setting for me in this game because it feels like you really know this town because of how small it is. Which creates an excellent sense of immersion. The turn based rpg gameplay is amazing as always from atlus and the personas are badass and cool. Overall, I think this game is masterpiece and I highly recommend it.… Expand

    The original Persona 4 was my perfect game and when I played P4G, my mind was blown that my perfect game can be made even better

    Definitely the best game of the series. Gameplay is much better than the predecessors and the cast is my favourite out of any game I've ever played. The story is phenomenal and don't even start on the soundtrack. The OST is marvelous and the best I've ever heard. It's a 10/10 no debate

    The original was already great, and they made a lot of good additions to this one.

    The best PS Vita game of all time. Got me into Persona even before the series was cool.

    Persona 4 Golden is part detective novel, part teenage simulation and part asian RPG – all being important pieces which combine to create some of the most memorable and entertaining moments I’ve ever had with a JRPG.

    Persona 4 Golden manages to make a classic JRPG even better. A definite buy for any Vita owners, and actually a good enough reason to justify the purchase of Sony's struggling handheld. [Apr 2013]

    Persona 4 Golden is a Tardis of a game. Initially, it seems cute and friendly and it hooks you with its murder mystery and time management focus. Once you get inside, it opens up exponentially, awing you with its scope. [March 2013, p76]
