Persona 5 review: An experience that's perfectly realized from the moment it begins - GamesRadar

Persona 5 is astounding. Each one of its elements - the writing, the music, the combat, the damn menus for crying out loud - is precisely tuned to work with everything else to create an experience that's perfectly realized from the moment it begins.

yet another perfect score. This is turning out to be another masterpiece. Sitting at 94 metacritic currently.

I think it'll rise, just preordered my copy.

Gazondaily2597d ago

Never played a Persona game before but definitely getting it now!

Bennibop2597d ago

Never played but have preordered. Do I need to have played previous games?

remixx1162597d ago

@ Ben and Sep

Nah the games are pretty much standalone for the most part so enjoy them. Tho going back to the previous ones after this one will be hard because of how far this one has pushed it's graphics, music, style/presentation.

Never doubted the Persona team even a bit. Persona 3 and 4 Golden are easily two of the best JRPGs ever made. And Persona 5 looks to be the best of the series. Cant wait for my "Take Your Heart" Edition to come in next week. These next six days are gonna be brutal.

Really sucks i didn't play those games. Me and JRPGs had a falling out last gen but i intend to get back into them soon.

robtion2597d ago

Indeed. Japanese gaming in particular is on fire at the moment.

TheVetOfGaming2597d ago

Been quite a while since I played a jrpg. Ni No was the last... This or HZD will be my next buy.

TheGamez1002597d ago

Its this game then we can finally take a rest from all these big releases...until e3 everyone, so long

Nice review. Great summary. Good to see some quirky humour.

'Other than that, Persona 5 is simply phenomenal. 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.'

Sea of stars while seeming pretty good so far doesn't belong in the top rpg discussion. There's way better ones. I'd tell them to play star ocean 2. One of the best non turn based rpgs ever. It has everything.

And if the list is limited to just turn-based RPGs, I can think of better ones to add to this list. You have the Dragon Quest series, the Trails series…Persona 5 Royale is on the list but why limit it to just that one? P3 and P4 were great as well.

The Legend of Dragoon, Legend of Legaia, or the Shadow Hearts games has decent enjoyable turn based combat system.

Would be plus+1 more if they'd settle the fk down and stop re releasing it. I'm waiting on the definitive one over here

BrainSyphoned321d ago

It's ok, I bought 4 to your zero, they don't need your pity purchase. Every version was definitive and has their own perks.
