    Can't say I was a fan. Played and found it too easy and quite boring. I really don't see the fuss about these games.

    If you enjoy a 5-10 hr tutorial before actually getting to play a game. This is for you

    Not for me, too much bad voice acting and the gameplay isn't anything to write home about. Tech wise doesn’t look like much improvement, its almost a straight port from last gen so it deserves a low score for low effort port.

    I just lost 5 hours of gameplay because no autosave feature. What stupid design choice is that?

    The improved storytelling and the additions Royal has, compared to the original game, is a true gift to all owners of modern platforms. Possibly due to the Phantom Thieves stealing the hearts of Atlus executives, a big audience can now dive into one of the best JRPGs out there, with hours of an immersive story and a refined gameplay that has built onto its past foundations and brings with it the promise of an exciting future.

    Persona 5 Royal is easily one of the best JRPGs on Xbox, which isn’t bad for a game that originally came out in 2019! A perfect blend of real-world shenanigans, mixed with some intense dungeon-crawling sections, and put together in one of the most perfectly presented packages in video games - what’s not to love? Buy it, play it on Game Pass... just make sure you experience it.

    Persona 5 Royal is as close to the perfect RPG as I have played in a long time. Not since the heady days of Final Fantasy VII will a game grip you so fiercely, refusing to let go. It is deep, it is beautiful and it demands to be played.
