Persona 5, however, is superbly balanced at all levels of content – screenplay, characters, plot, civilian Tokyo, X mazes and Mementos, a duel system, jazz music and an unmistakable atmosphere. There's practically nothing to blame for this game.

Another Japanese top flight. Such games show that Japan still does not have to model in the West, and can create adventures in its own unique way.

Persona 5 is an absolutely amazing game that convinces with its art style, music and story. It has anything one could ask for such a game and more. The turn-based battle system offers a wide array of opportunities. While it may not be everyone's cup of tea, it is definitely recommended to give it a go.

When I was around 20-30 hours into Persona 5 I thought it was a fantastic game. By the 100 hour mark and upon finishing my first playthrough I realized this is a truly exceptional game.

Everything about Persona 5 is etched in style unlike any other. The battle system is intricate and often delightful. It is so much more than just an ‘RPG with social skills’. This is a game to live and breathe in, one to savor every moment you get to spend with a bunch of wonderfully flawed people. Persona 5 redefines the Japanese RPG with a stylish band of rogues that should please any fan of the genre.

Persona 5 is a complete package of what a masterpiece has got to have. But it's biggest achievement is not in its flawless gameply or world building but its reflection of reality and that it's an experience within our own lives which puts it on a whole another level.

Persona 5 is a game that has met and went above my expectations for it. The main story might not be as great as expected, however, the game amazes us with its individual story arcs, the battle system, soundtrack and its incredible art direction. Persona 5 is one of the best role playing games ever created and one of the best games of the year for the PS3 and PS4 systems.

Persona 5 tries to captivate the player in every possible way. Its masterful mix of genres, crisp art style, and music, as well as the glorious game mechanics won't let you drop the controller until the very end. This iteration of the franchise sets a new standard for the JRPG genre and it is, naturally, an excellent addition to the Best of 2017 games list.

Persona 5 is a fantastic journey to embark on, full of well-realized characters, serviceable if a little archaic level design, and more than enough activities and distractions to keep you pushing through until its conclusion.

Persona 5 isn’t made for anyone, but anyone can enter its lush and colorful world and experience an exceptional Japanese Role Playing game. Persona 5 is slow, doesn’t rush anything and pay an increasingly attention to details – Sometimes maybe too much. But after beating first few hours, Persona 5 becomes a combination of unique narration, involving gameplay and eye-catching artistic style.

It's been a long time coming, but it was absolutely worth the wait. Persona 5 is an improvement over the last two games in almost every way. There may be some arguments over which game has the best cast, but the mechanics, visuals and general style can't be denied. It fixes a lot of nagging flaws and adds a bunch of features that are so useful it's difficult to imagine ever playing without them. Some minor issues, including a sometimes-stiff translation and a low difficulty level, hurt the experience slightly but should only be considered minor flaws. If you're a fan of RPGs, you have to get Persona 5, which is easily one of the best games available on the PS4.
