    I have mixed feelings about these games. The gameplay is very solid. If you've played persona 5, you will feel right at home juggling trips into the dungeons with ranking up social links and your own personal stats. It's an engaging whirlwind of an experience unlike anything else I've played.

    What I don't like about these games is the JRPG symptom of endless talking about nonsense.

    What I don't like about these games is the JRPG symptom of endless talking about nonsense. I wouldn't mind if the writing was good, but these are a mix of mawkish plotlines, after-school special moralizing, and c-tier anime dialog. Sometimes after a major event you'll get twenty minutes of cutscenes and babbling. It's just ponderous, man.

  1. Sure, it’s the best version of Persona 4, but a lot of that legwork was done in the Steam port, so it’s hard to really give much credit to this. Still, Persona 4 Golden is a great game with a wonderful soundtrack and a combat system that absolutely rules, which makes it worth playing (or replaying) for any Persona fan.

    All in all, Persona 4 Golden is an absolute triumph; very much golden. It isn’t quite as good as Persona 5 Royal, but the difference is like a hair's breadth. There’s a great story, tons of content to get involved in and some superb combat and exploration opportunities.

    By defending its rurality, Persona 4 Golden teaches us that acceptance does not imply liking, but experiencing the reality of ourselves without any kind of denial or rejection.
