Persona5GOAT

i originally gave this a really high score but now about 15 hours in it takes literally 100 F*****NG hits to kill half of the enemies with all of my stuff fully upgraded which means combat with more than 2 people is IMPOSSIBLE and "oh you can sneak" no you literally can't half the time because of the way troops and cover are situated like a literal 5IQ idiot set this game up holy crap what a horrible waste of what started out as a really good game. combat killed this game and the devs should never work again i wouldn't trust them to make a mcdonald's hamburger. and congrats on making the bow just absolutely useless for anything other than maybe hunting goats everything was alright but it got VERY unbalanced VERY quickly i don't feel like stabbing one guy in the face 300 times while dodging attacks from 12 other punks just for the crappiest of rewards. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Others are right about the game being easy, but i still liked it. I think though by the end I was just not feeling it as much and so never bothered to collect/complete everything, I was just burnt out. I think it's a solid title but wouldn't be in my "best of" collection.

Gets old VERY VERY fast, unbelievably aggravating at some points and the rewards aren't very "rewarding" whatsoever. By halfway through I was just done with this crap. Oh yes, also it crashed several times for me, not sure if others have had this problem but some battles can be 20+ minutes long and very difficult and for it to crash halfway through is unbelievably frustrating.

Was good until mid game and everything started to get bad. No fast travel, bad AI, Grimoire doesn't seem worth it, enemy drops NON-EXISTENT (seriously i can't get anything i need anywhere ever), the grind is real and it **** very very very badly, sometimes just way way way too much effing useless dialogue. A bunch of combat mechanics that still don't make a lot of sense to me or when they do make sense i still rarely use or need them.

redefines the term "unplayable" because i'm not talking about bugs, and yes there are still many. realism: what they mean is everything is like a job and you have the skills of a toddler. oh it gets better after maybe 50000000000000 hours but you know what? that is the f'ing definition of BAD DESIGN. "oh you get used to it if you can enjoy suffering for most of the game first" realism is the dumbest excuse i've ever heard for making crappy systems. we already have realism it's called life and honestly every single skill in this game is 10,000x easier in real life even if it's your first time. and don't even get me started on the saving system or load times. this is the biggest steaming pile of crap ever made, i'd ray play E.T. for 100 hours. please never make a game, or really anything ever again. i wouldn't trust these guys to make pancakes honestly.

Overpriced garbage. Unreasonable number of QoL issues and horrendously BORING gameplay not to mention the worst combat ever. you have a shield but you can't block, and dodging is practically non-existant so any battle against >1 opponent becomes mash triangle and spam healing items because your NPC followers WILL be garbage and useless, and leveling won't help because each area has a cap. so enjoy that. Also whoever thought the interact button and the tool switch button should be the same should be fired. The list goes on but this game was supposed to be enjoyable and I just found everything FRUSTRATING.

crashes/freezes all the time, in combat i forget what skills are attached to what button in what formation, they really should have labeled it instead of showing you the button layout, which is obvious. a LOT of running back and forth for fetch quests and the like, grinding forever for drops. sidequests are a pain. the rest is fine, pretty enjoyable and typical neptunia, and i don't mind the combat system whatsoever other than the point above about skills. honestly a lot of quality of life issues and the bugs hurt this game a lot, some simple fixes would have made it so much better.

clunky combat, difficulty that yo-yos from cake walk to making you want to smash your controller and back again, absolutely horrible camera that does you zero favors. some people really love the character customization but honestly i couldn't give less of a **** about that nonsense when the game is 90%+ combat, and not good combat at that. Enemy types are largely recycled with extra bells and whistles. Music is pretty good, characters and story are...passable. Some of the areas are ridiculous (cathedral) and go on too long or too short. Not a terrible game but not great either.

I had to mute the game and put on LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE because the monotonous music was going to send me to the mental ward. The story was meh, I never really felt like I cared about the characters, setting, or world in general, though it wasn't horrible either. I really don't know what to say the whole thing was really just okay. I had a really hard time understanding the battle system, I still have no idea what the hell sublimation or momentum charge is or how that works with spritnite. Thankfully, I never had to really care or try all that hard. I don't understand the comparisons to Chrono Trigger whatsoever either.

I love the controls and combat but I would have like a more in-depth story, and the side quests are basically fetch, escort, or kill x amount of this type of monster. Not really great in that department. If there's a sequel I'd snatch it up and I hope it will be more polished. Some people have complained about the limited fast travel options but only in the very beginning did it kind of irk me. the map isn't as big as other open world games so it's not too hard to put up with footing it everywhere for a little bit. I like being able to customize Pawns' AI but at the same time it was not explained very well and is also "dynamic" meaning you can set their AI and find out a few hours later that it's changed somehow. Thankfully some old dude sells potions to rectify this, but again it's not really explained. Overall good, enjoyable, but feels like it falls short of what could have been.

Absolute artsy fartsy garbage. Basically a post-apocalyptic fedex simulator with garbage mechanics that don't even work half of the time. It is by far the worst purchase I have ever made in my life and may God never let Kojima get work ever again. It is about as fun as getting kicked in the groin for 48 hours while watching paint dry.
