    Persona 4 Golden is shining its absolute brightest in this Switch port, and it was already a truly brilliant game that any fan of the genre should play. The fact that you can get an RPG this great for such a low price is wild, and Persona 4 has always been a great game to enjoy on a portable. If you already played through it on the Vita, I’m not sure you’ll find enough here to make it worth another scoop, but if this is your first time tuning in to the Midnight Channel the Switch version is an incredible way to experience it.

    Persona 4 Golden on Switch is the best possible version of Atlus’s finest blend of dungeon crawling role player action dark murder mystery.

    The Nintendo Switch and Persona 4 Golden were made for each other. This classic stands the test of time and thrives with a modest, affordable remaster.

    Over ten years later, P4G remains a thoroughly enjoyable and engrossing RPG that, for the most part, has stood the test of time. Although its visuals might be a bit dated, the gameplay and story presented here do more than enough to justify the purchase, while all the tweaks and additions that came with this ‘Golden’ edition round out most of the rougher edges from the initial PS2 release. If you're looking to give the Persona series a shot, Persona 5 Royal is a good place to start, but P4G is an excellent entry in the series and one that we would recommend you pick up when you can.

    This is another opportunity to either discover or replay Persona 4 Golden and, maybe, for first time in your language.

    Persona 4 Golden has always been one of the most solid games in the Persona series, and the Switch port is no exception. It’s a lovely story bolstered by a fantastic combat system, and it’s worth playing for newcomers and veterans alike.

    Persona 4 Golden is one of those titles that just feels good to return to after a few years. The story is intriguing, and the gameplay is fun and engaging. This is a must-have for any Persona fan.

Em comparação ao Persona 5 o Persona 4 tem personagens mais carismáticos e uma história melhor que a do Persona 5 (ambos são obras primas). Recomendo a todos do fundo do meu coração.… Expand

    The characters have improved pretty much as well, even thought the characters stories are less interesting than p3p;
    There is way more viability in fights both in terms of personas and of friends you can use, and the exploration is more fun;
    The story also got a BIG upgrade from the previous game, 10/10 story fr, not 1 but 2 plot twist even if i spoiled it to myself (sadly) i would've never expected it at least; an annoying thing is that unless you want a **** ending you gotta look up how to continue the game
