The brilliant Japanese RPG, which nails you to your chair for a hundred hours, and you still feel it's not enough. Finally, the whole world will learn about the exceptionality of this series. [Issue#274]

The voice acting is outstanding, the music is genius, the art style is so slick it'll raise your personal coolness level just from being in close proximity to it. Playing Persona 5 will make your hair glossier, increase your vocal range by an octave and add 7.32 years to your overall life expectancy. Play it enough times and you'll likely not only be able to levitate but also make a perfect omelette while in midair. It's THAT good.

Best persona game out there. It has style, it has music, it has characters.

Persona 5 is hands down the best game in the Persona series. Hell, it well may be the best JRPG of the last decade. Apart from small minor issues, the game itself is a JRPG masterpiece: The graphics and music compliment the style of the game beautifully, the story is the best in the series, the locations and palaces you visit are astounding and the battle system has been revitalized and feels fresh and new. This game didn't just match people's expectations – it created new ones for the future.

The last chapter of one of our favourite series improved over the previous chapters in every, possible way. The storyline is unique and much more consistent, and the production values (art direction, soundtrack, dubbing, graphics) are simply top-notch. The fact that the dungeons aren't randomly generated anymore is just the cherry on top.

It may have taken Atlus quite a long time to complete the fifth Persona game, but this was time well spent! Persona 5 is a superb JRPG filled with social messages, great gameplay and some new ideas that take the franchise to the next level.

Persona 5 is a beautiful balancing act; one that feels eternally stressful unless you give in and enjoy it rather than aiming for the perfect run.

Persona 5 is periodically fascinating, but it’s unable to maintain the required level of interest and energy over such an extended running time. If it were half as long and cut out most of the repetition, it’d be a much tighter, more enjoyable experience. As it stands, adventuring with the Phantom Thieves sags way too often to be a heartfelt recommendation.

A stylish, emotionally rich RPG with one of the best turn-based systems in the genre. Every element, from soundtrack to UI, oozes personality and polish.

My first JRPG game and I liked it although my only and biggest complaint is the length. It's too long and gets a bit boring towards the end although the end itself is really good

너무 길어... 적당히 길어도 되잖아... 게임하다 지쳤는데 엔딩 만족감이 그렇게 크지 않았음... 열심히 만든 건 좋은데 너무 피곤한 게임

We had Persona 5 Royal already in the charts, please, make space for other games, instead of promoting Persona 5 all over again. It is not a good game, it's misogynistic and had pedophilic hints in the story. Japan is still one of the most misogynistic countries in the world. After several sexist scenes, I even almost decided to stop playing it... it was too much to see how terribly the female characters were misrepresented. The Persona series started losing intellectual deepness somewhere around Persona 3, that's when the game series had become more superficial, especially the female characters made less and less sense. This also one of the reasons, why I stopped playing ATLUS games.

I cannot understand why this game is so highly praised … there are parts of the game where for hours nothing interesting happening. The combat is so boring and the length of the game makes it even more tedious. After 60 hours I just gave up out of boredom
