    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.

    Comparing Persona 4 Golden to its brothers is cruel, because once you put aside the differences you find yourself with a wonderful experience in which you will make friends, live adventures and investigate the strange events taking place in a quiet rural town in Japan while fighting fearsome Shadows in a maze-like dungeons.

    It's the best version of an already fantastic game, a game that's aged superbly well for the most part, and one that arrives on Xbox Game Pass with high resolution visuals, a quick save function, gallery mode and the ability to select your difficulty from the get-go. If you've yet to sample the deep delights of Persona 4, we really can't recommend it enough - it's perhaps our favourite entry in the franchise, doing so much that Persona 5 does but without that game's sometimes unnecessary bloat. This is a richly crafted and utterly absorbing RPG, and a game that cemented this series as one of the truly great JRPG franchises.

    Persona 4 Golden is an essential experience not only for JRPG fans, but people who appreciate a strong narrative with an endearing supporting cast of characters, along with a tight battle system that feels as modern as its iconic sequel. The poignancy of your interactions with the characters will resonate on a deep level with you, and will more than likely warm or break your heart on more than one occasion. It's exciting that modern players get to enjoy this, and if you're a Game Pass subscriber, this is a must-play.

    Persona 4 Golden has absolutely withstood the test of time, delivering a fantastic story with a truly likeable cast of characters. Could more have been done with the visuals? Perhaps, but it’s still a brilliant game nonetheless. A true classic, now available on your console of choice. Sweet.

    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.

    There are few games as colourful, vibrant, or touching as Persona 4. Thanks to an endearing cast, near-unrivaled soundtrack and captivating plot, expect to leave a piece of your heart in Inaba when you finally reach the credits of this gem.

Iba a ponerle un 8 por que viniendo de Persona5 este aun gustándome lo encontraba un poco repetitivo y soso en tema mazmorras y flojo en gráficos pero después de haber completado todos los finales, empaparme de las historias de sus personajes, y ver incluso créditos y el contenido extra este juego no merece menos que un 10.

I loved Persona 5 and maybe I'm just missing something but I do not understand the game design with this one. DO NOT play on hard or higher difficulty. After about 20 minutes of story I got stuck facing the first shadows and the boss with no way out except mostly RNG defeat when I didn't know wtf I was doing and then had to run it all back multiple times - complete BS - do not make me rehash super long plot points over and over again - awful awful design choice and I had to uninstall… Expand
