    Game is really solid and have seriously lot of content! For a persona fan it's a really great title. Even when you suck at fighting games on easy difficulty you can easily enjoy the story.

Of course it's not the best fighting game of all time and I think for non persona enthusiasts it cold be just boring. Fighting mechanics are quite unique... But I prefer tekken mechanic when you can much easier preforme some combos. Graphics are ok, music is great as always in persona. There are artworks and few videos to watch. Unfortunately there aren't any alternative costumes for characters and that's a boomer. But after all it's a solid persona fighting game with a really quite long story.… Expand

    Amazing tag team fighter, I'm such a major fangirl for great anime fighters and this doesn't disappoint. I recommend it highly.

    My first fighting game and is really fun due to the portability of local play and the joycons being perfect for it. Story is really long but great at the same time, especially getting to follow some side characters. Although the online is really really bad compared to PC and PS4 which feature rollback which makes it 10x more playable.

    Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is a good fighting game aimed at fans of Persona 3 and Persona 4 who were eager to meet their charismatic casts again in a new adventure. It has plenty of game modes and extras, but it's still a niche release with only a few additions and some things to polish up.

    There’s a wealth of single-player content in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, not only with the extensive story mode but various other modes such as Arcade, Versus, and Golden Arena Mode, where you fight through dungeons and build stats. Unfortunately, the Switch port is lacking in the online compartment as it doesn’t offer the rollback netcode, unlike the other releases. I’m also hard-pressed to recommend the title to anyone who isn’t a fighting game fan and who isn’t familiar with both Persona 3 and Persona 4. But those who happen to fall under both umbrellas will undoubtedly find an entertaining, solid fighting game experience with some surprising RPG undertones in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax!
