I'm glad to say that Persona 5 is everything I had hoped it would be and then some. The incremental improvements over the gameplay of Persona 4, the visuals, the soundtrack, all of it came together almost perfectly. That translation could have used a little bit more polish, but otherwise this is the finest work Atlus has ever produced.

I've had a ton of fun with Persona 5. However, a few nagging features and the fact that the dungeons could use a little more complexity means that it doesn't quite top my list of favourite JRPGs.

In spite of its minor missteps, Persona 5 has the power to steal the hearts of long-term fans of the series and newcomers alike.

Not a huge departure from Persona 3 or 4, but there's been some noticeable changes and improvements made that do make a difference, all of which are for the better.

One of the best role-playing games ever made, Japanese or otherwise, and beyond that simply one of the most stylishly told interactive stories you'll ever experience.

With engaging social simulation gameplay, addictive turn-based combat systems and an unmatched visual style, Persona 5 is the ultimate Japanese role-playing game any PS4 owner, newbie or hardcore fan, should give a fair go.
