    Persona 5 Royal auf der Switch ist einfach ein Traum wahr geworden! Die einzigartige Mischung aus sozialen Simulationen, rundenbasierten Kämpfen und einer fesselnden Handlung hat mich völlig in den Bann gezogen.

Die Möglichkeit, Beziehungen aufzubauen und den Alltag eines japanischen Schülers zu erleben, verleiht dem Spiel eine unglaubliche Tiefe. Die neuen Inhalte und Charaktere in der Royal-Version haben das Spielerlebnis noch erweitert und vertieft. Die kunstvolle Grafik, der mitreißende Soundtrack und die tiefgründigen Themen machen Persona 5 Royal zu einem wahren Meisterwerk. Ich kann nicht anders, als es jedem zu empfehlen, der eine fesselnde Geschichte erleben möchte, die mit Gameplay-Vielfalt und Charaktertiefe überzeugt.… Expand

    Its great, but the time you are given is just enough and hard to manage. The combat is great and let's be honest the boss fights are like hell. I reccomend whole-heartedly but its a long road, stressfull and frustrating at times, and the controls and performance on the switch are kinda lacking, even though its a spectacular port.

    The game is almost perfect. Visually stunning with good plot. The only thing that annoyed me was the dialogue I found it really stupid sometimes.

    Persona 5, Royal or otherwise, is a fantastic game that tells a story that really shows how much video games can move a person emotionally. If you get the time and money, play it. It's good! And the last 20 something reviews I've done have been me in a sarcastic rage. I was off my meds for the last several months and I also needed a solid punch in the face.

    I was captivated the whole 140 hours i played. Has some of the best music in any video game. I wish the social links weren't mostly boring and copy pastes, but besides that it was a near perfect experience.

    First,I've never played Persona's predecessor,so I think it is very amazing for me.It has the best story and the best art in almost all games.However,on the Swich,it is not too suitable for the game,that's why I score 9 instead of 10.

    Amazing, one of the best game experience I ever had. Probably the best game that I have played in 2022.
    update: after playing the other persona games and replaying persona 5 royal, i noticed many flaws, it doesn't stop being a great game tho.

    Great story which adds a Lot to the base game, compelling characters with great narratives, and the soundtrack Is one of if not the best of videogames in general, the experience in switch Is good, with stable fps and a high resolution overall, it has nothing to Envy to other consoles when it comes to runinng the game smoothly

    Absolutely fantastic game, from start to finish. Superb visuals, soundtrack, story and turn based gameplay. A few complaints like how the confidant system takes too long and some of them are almost useless, and the story taking too much time sometimes, aren't enough to eclipse this absolute gem of a game. You should definitely play this if given the chance.

    Hay millones de cosas que no voy a abarcar en esta reseña porque es un juego tan largo y tan perfecto que no me da el tiempo, solo finalizare con que Persona 5 cambio y salvo mi vida, es mi juego favorito, ayer lo acabe y me siento vacío pero con esas ganas de comerme al mundo, que p5r me regreso, estaré eternamente agradecido con todas las personas que hicieron posible la realización de este juego, les debo mucho y no hay palabras que expresen lo que este juego significa para mi, en cuento tenga dinero me llevare este juego en la piel y en la tumba, sera el primer tatuaje que tenga chance el ultimo, lo que si se es que no quiero jamas olvidar lo que significa para mi.

    Absolutely the best RPG I've ever played. Nothing comes close to the sheer amount of style and personality P5 displays in it's every aspect, and the music is probably the most consistently banging out of any videogame ost.

    This game (if you can get pass the sexualization) It is so good. It's fun it pulls at your heartstrings. it has flaws but due to how fun the gameplay is and how endeared you can get to the charecters if you go out of your way to do it during "free time". It may be steep due to it being a three year old game but i'm a nintendo fan so idc. this quickly became my favourite game of all time.

    The best JRPG of the last generation is still the best iteration of this series. Great art design, killer soundtrack, a dynamic turn based system. The list goes on and on. The fact that it is only available now on the Switch. Being portable is also a great benefit for this game, which is a very, very long one (100 hrs plus). A must buy.

    A truly wonderful game. Everything from the story, to the characters, the music, the art, and of course the game-play itself, nothing says otherwise. I cannot even imagine giving this game anything below a 9. Truly a masterpiece, anyone reading this must play it.

    Perfect for new and returning fans alike, his an incredibly well done port of an already brilliant game. It feels at home on the switch, and with little bugs (experienced one minor bug in my playthrough) you couldn't really ask for much more.

    Persona 5 Royal is a title for every video game lover. The style and art direction have characterized it and finished establishing the franchise. Its arrival on new consoles will only allow more people to enjoy one of the best games that Atlus has made with this team. The only problem is its enormous duration that, for some, could seem unnecessary amid excellent character development that immerses the player in their world.

    If you're looking for something to play at the coffee shop or on the train, then I'd recommend picking up Persona 5 Royal on Nintendo Switch. It might be best experienced on other consoles, but playing one of the greatest games of this decade on the go sounds pretty nice to me.

    The Switch has had a good run of major ports lately, and Persona 5 Royal is no exception. It may have taken a while to get here, but the journey is more than worthwhile for new and returning Thieves. And now, Smash fans will finally know who Joker really is.
