Persona 5 is one of those games that most people won’t play outside of RPG fans, and they are missing out on one of the best gaming experiences in a very long time. The story starts with the main character moving in with a guy due to some event that saw him expelled from school and put on probation. What will follow is a story of love, betrayal, and numerous other topics from a teachers inappropriate treatment of students to the mob and politics.
The game is beautiful, full of color and life, with a plethora of places to go and visit. Batting cages, fishing, eateries, movies, etc. See, fighting battles isn’t the only part of this game. You will actually go through many day-to-day activities, including studying for school and hanging out with friends, as well as many other activities, too numerous to mention.
The sound is equally amazing, with music setting the tone properly on every level and nice voiceover work. If I had any complaint about the game, it’s that it is actually too long. 100 hours in and I still have not finished the game. But let’s be honest, if that is the game’s biggest issue, and I believe it is, then the gaming gods have truly guided its creation. May they bring you glory.
