    One of the best games of the last generation of consoles, and in with a very strong shout as the greatest JRPG of all time, Persona 5 Royal makes for a fantastic new addition to Xbox Game Pass. Atlus has gone to town on reworking and revamping its 2016 classic in this Royal upgrade and it pays off here with the ultimate version of a true all-timer. This next-gen version runs at a velvety smooth 4K/60FPS too, making for a truly unmissable experience that we highly recommend you dive right into. Games don't get much better than this.

    Persona 5 Royal finally debuts on Xbox to prove the masterpiece that it is. This 100+ hour adventure game features a story, gameplay, art and music that are at the pinnacle of video games.

    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.

    Persona 5 Royal is an intense RPG experience with turn-based combat and a wealth of personality that has stolen our hearts.

    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.

    Excellent turn-based combat is carried further by gorgeous visuals, an incredible soundtrack, and a story filled with brilliant twists and turns. It’s available day one on Xbox Game Pass and if you’re looking for a game to put over 100 hours into (conservatively) then do yourself a favor and give this one a go.

The cell shade graphics of the game arePersona 5 is a life simulator, the beautiful lessons this game gives you will change your heart. The cell shade graphics of the game are consistent with its fantasy environment. The game does not have a weak point that you can complain about, but perhaps its only weak point is the excessive length of the game, which due to the repetition of some tasks in the final stages, the final excitement of the game is not as effective as it should be.… Expand

    As someone who was not played any other persona games before, this was a good pick up for the cash and help up to its reputation quite well.As someone who was not played any other persona games before, this was a good pick up for the cash and help up to its reputation quite well. The story is very long (somewhere around 100hrs including the 3rd semester) and gives a lot of content for that reason. Though I will say it gets a little repetitive though the end and perhaps predictable, but over I enjoyed it. One gripe I do have about this game is the dialogue can get very repetitive, often restating the obvious which gets frustrating and almost cringy at times. However overall the story is still good and engaging.
    The gameplay its self is quite good. The gameplay loop of going around palaces and fighting shadows is fun and doesn't get too repetitive through out the game as new challenges or abilities change up the gameplay. Small note: the games difficulty level is surprising good (If you aren't power leveling). I played it on medium and it actually had good challenge.
    My favorite part of the game has got to be the music and art direction. It's definitely the best in any game I've played so far. 10/10 Whilst it may be minor all the little menus and the animations in the persona powers all felt fitting and unique, and definitely enhanced my play experience.
    Last note: Played this on the xbox series s, had 0 crashes or major bugs, ran without issue.
    Overall it's about an 8.5-9, not perfect but great.
    Highly recommend    … Expand
