Too many game companies' feel they need to tinker around the edges, or flat-out completely change, the latest game in a series. And while it's necessary to up-date I don't see the point in changing successive games so much that the only thing they have in common is the series' name – I'm looking at you ‘Final Fantasy’. However, amidst all these ‘changes for change's sake’ it's a relief to see that the Persona series has remained true to its ideals. When we purchase a Persona we know exactly what we're getting; beautiful cell-shaded graphics, turn-based combat and of course The Velvet Room. In fact, Persona 5 has gone as far as to re-introduce a couple of original ideas, using ranged weapons and negotiating with enemies brings back fond memories. The busy life of a student is once again captured perfectly in Persona 5 – but this time we're not shooting ourselves in the head.

Good story with a balance of a setting of Persona 3 and 4 comes Persona 5 set in Tokyo. Put 120 hours plus into this game is the best the generation and by that there is no DLC content in those hours I put into this. OST and the dungeon design were amazingly well done made you feel like you were infiltrating a base. The cell shading that supports the theme of the game and battle system is top notch if it ain't broke don't fix it. Persona series has been amazing since the PS2 era and has been upping its game with every entry. Took the crown from Final Fantasy series a long time ago which has lost it's touch quite sometime ago. Persona 5 is a game that I highly recommend.

This game absolutely floored me, everything from the music to the aesthetics is perfect down to the last detail. This game absolutely oozes style, evidenced by the killer animated opening. This is a very long JRPG, and I wouldn't recommend it for newcomers to the genre because it can be pretty overwhelming, but fans of the genre are guaranteed to find an incredible experience in Persona 5. I loved the story and characters, the premise is extremely relatable, and the catharsis of taking on seemingly untouchable and powerful villains to reveal their misdeeds to the world is unlike any other game I've played. This game will keep you motivated for the entirety of its 90 hour story, and you will love every second of it.
