I bought this thinking I’d play it for a few hours 200+ hours later… yeah... This game somehow made me care about every single character, made me spend way too much time optimizing Personas, and had me saying, “I’ll save and get off after one more day.” for about 4 hours straight. The soundtrack never misses. The gameplay keeps getting better the more you play. The story had me hooked the entire time, and the ending left me with that post-game depression every great game gives you. It’s not a perfect game. Some sections drag a bit, and a few mechanics can get repetitive. But when a game keeps you glued to your screen for well over a hundred hours, it’s doing something right. Persona 5 Royal isn’t just one of the best JRPGs I’ve played. It’s one of the best games I’ve ever played. Thank you, Phantom Thieves. I’ll be a Phantom Thief forever🖤 10/10
Put 104.5 hours into P5R over 10 days straight, n the whole ride felt like one hell of a vivid dream. Coming back to reality after it ends hits u with that heavy bittersweet emptiness, but it also feels like u lived an entire second life, the kind that reminds u exactly why games can hit so hard. As for the game itself, the story’s that classic crowd-pleasing arc of hot-blooded teens taking on the world to set things right. The 3D models are kinda rough around the edges, but the art style’s packed with insane energy and easily stands as one of the game’s biggest highlights. Every Confidant hangout with party members n side characters pulls u right into the story n feels so immersive. Combat’s pretty mid though, n late game bosses are straight up cheap as hell with all their scummy dirty tricks, which drags down the vibe a fair bit. When the final act rolls around n the protag says goodbye to every teammate one by one, it leaves u with so many tangled, mixed feelings. Not many games manage to hook me this deep. I’m probably gonna remember this one for years and years.
Absolut Masterpiece! I enjoyed every single Moment. Very very good Story and if you like turn based RPGs then this is a 100% recommend. Also changes your view on Life. 10/10
