About Persona 5 Royal

Persona 5 Royal is an enhanced version of the turn-based role-playing game Persona 5, set in modern-day Tokyo. Players control a high school student who leads a group of secret vigilantes called the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, exploring supernatural dungeons called Palaces to change the hearts of corrupt adults. The game combines dungeon crawling and turn-based combat with social simulation elements, where players manage daily activities, build relationships, and develop character statistics across a school year. Royal adds new characters, a third semester, an additional Palace, new music, and expanded story content to the original game.

Doesn't that kind of week say more about the game than any review could?

I'll say it upfront, I'm biased toward this one over Persona 4 Golden, the cast just clicked with me in a way the other never quite managed.

Solid game, overrated slot honestly

DavidRider

Overrated es fuerte, no sé, yo lo jugué completo y me sigue pareciendo de lo mejor que probé en el género esa generación.
AllieRider

The load times still bug me a little... but the combat feedback holds up better than I expected.

Coincido, la carga estorba pero el combate compensa bastante.

No entiendo el fervor, de verdad, lo jugué completo y me pareció bueno pero no de otro mundo... sé que aquí soy minoría y no me importa decirlo.
