"When Persona 5 originally released in the West back in 2017 it was heralded as one of the best JRPGs that fans could play and a great new entry in the series that hadn’t seen a new full release in nine years. As such when it was announced that an enhanced edition would not only improve various gameplay aspects but also add plenty of brand new content it seemed like a perfect way to jump into the game. The only problem was, Persona 5 Royal remained a PlayStation exclusive even when it arrived in 2020, locking a large number of potential players out of the experience. Now Persona 5 Royal has finally freed itself from the chains of exclusivity and has arrived on every current platform, offering Xbox, PC, and Switch players a chance to experience the best way to play the game with even more improvements than before on the Xbox Series X."
Atlus wins over gamers yet again.
Same here. Not only is it one of my favourite RPGs, it's also one of my favourite ever games. I keep coming back to it time and time again.
4.8? This game is literally one of the best modern JRPGs. I’d give it the perfect score.

Persona (particularly 3,4 and 5) is the best thing to come out of Atlus, by far. The only way other games get ruined is by paling in comparison.
thats a hot take if ive ever seen one.
atlus aint just persona.
they have plenty of games that are fantastic that are not persona.
maybe in sales sure but not in quality.
I enjoy the SMT core series much more vs the Persona series. I like how it is much darker and more hardcore as an RPG. I've played all of them through and they never disappoint.
That's a bad take.
SMT had a niche following. So did persona. They redid persona starting with three to reach an wider audience. Nothing happened with the original SMT and have stayed the way they were. If they were to revamp that main series you could get what happened with soul hackers lol. You want that?
A spin off is a spin off. Why would they ruin the original? If you like the original then that's great, you can carry on enjoying it. If the spin off is crap it has no impact on the original at all.
I love Persona 5 and P5R but I have zero interest in Strikers or Tactica but even if I played them and didn't like them they wouldn't ruin the original games for me.
Same goes for if you like the SMT games but don't like Persona, why would that suddenly make SMT bad?
Now that Death Stranding has landed on iOS, here are five other PS4-era blockbusters that we'd love to have to play on our iPhones at any time.
It really is a 10/10 for me, too. I've said this in a ton of posts, but man... it just hits you with all the feels and the locations are cool. Fun story and fantastic characters. Just love this game!
