Great story, world and characters. It has a great UI and fighting system also. Taking the persona system to medieval future was a perfect fit. The only issue comes in the form of the presentation. Not sure what happened graphically while it doesn’t running the game it just seems like a missed opportunity. 8/10

This game is life changing! Quite possibly the most amazing game ever made. This game is as hot as the sun and will burn itself into your psyche like a puppy wagging his tail you won't be able to put this game down like it's cold drink in "H E double hockey sticks" this game plays so smooth it's as smooth as silk and as cool as the other side of the pillow. This game makes other games look like monkeys made them in a room with no windows and lights. You play this game if you are as American as apple pie only this game wasn't made in America, so yeah deal with that like you would deal with the elephant in the room. When you play this game you will be riveted the screen like one of those 80's Garfield window hangers. Look just buy the game or you'll look like a lame gamer who doesn't play big boy or girl games.

It’s a fun RPG with a lot of customization options, similar to Shin Megami Tensei and Persona games. I enjoyed the music a lot. The story was good too.

The game is a lot more than just fantasy Persona, and there’s a lot here to love whether you’re an SMT/Persona fan or total newcomer. The gameplay is deeply strategic and satisfying, the characters and world building are intriguing, and per Atlus’s usual level of excellence, the audio/visual presentation is off the charts. Is it perfect? No. But does it deserve the praise it’s garnered from fans and critics alike? Yes.

I have played Persona 5 Royal from Atlus and loved it. The trailers for this game intrigued me. Having played approximately 32 hours now, this game is fantastic! From the story to the game mechanics, I can’t recommend it highly enough! Also, I was able to get the game for $20 less due to the Black Friday sale. Making it an even better deal! You should play this game!

Long time Atlus fan. I've played the shin megami tensei games as well as the persona games. I wasnt sure what to expect from this game, but the archetypes are a cool concept that allow for a great combat customization. The art is fantastic and the story is intriguing. I found myself growing attached to the characters and their stories. The voice acting is great, but I'd wish it was fully voiced. Would definitely recommend.

The game is fun and such a great genre if you're a fan of the persona series this is the game for you It's similar to persona but you can actually attack mobs that are lower level then you I'd greatly recommend this product to Persona fans and even newcomers to this game

It's a good game. If you're a fan of the Persona games, then this is a no brainer. If you're a fan of JRPGs, then this is worth a try. Is this a game of the year contender? Personally, I don't think so, but there are many others that think otherwise. I just didn't think it was better than some of the other JRPGs I've played recently, nor was it better than Persona 5 Royal in my honest opinion. But again, it's a good game. It's essentially the same old Persona we know and love, but with a different coat of paint. You can easily push through 100 hours of gameplay time if you try to do everything in the game. There's just so much to do in it. It's a solid 8/10 experience.

Persona by way of Game of Thrones

It's Persona if it were set in Game of Thrones. If that sounds appealing you'll love it. Mechanically, this is persona 5. A common complaint I hear about the Persona series is "it sounds cool but the anime high school setting just doesn't appeal to me." Well then this is the game for you. No highschool. No deep references to Japanese culture or history. If anything, this one has more western roots in its medieval cultures and monsters. Hieronymus Bosch was a big influence on the art direction. I personally think it's the best game the persona team has put out since persona 4.

It’s everything that one could ever want from a JRPG. Love the fantasy theme, great improvements off of the Persona/SMT systems. All round really fun, cool, and pretty to look at.
