RiME is a title that evokes emotional response through its design similarities to many great games, but stands apart from them by centering itself on an often unaddressed topic, relatable to all. Tequila Works took their time with this one, but the final product is well worthy of a playthrough.

It's a game where the ultimate villain is political apathy, but in the process of telling a story about social justice Persona 5 falls back to cheap stereotypes and the same conservative values that it's supposed to be trying to overturn. But god damn those menus and music are nice! The visual stylings, gameplay systems and confidant narratives combine to create a technically proficient package that does make parts of the game more palatable

Persona 5 is without a doubt one of the best JRPGs I have ever played, not only is its story worthy enough of dozens of hours, but also, it is a visual artwork masterpiece that even the ones who are not into JRPGs or turn based combat will be able to appreciate and admire since the first minute. With an explosion of eccentricity and psychological hyperbole Persona 5 starts with a fast pacing and ends in an artsy masterpiece worthy of standing ovation. Its world, characters, distorted but plausible realities and its overflow of art give Persona 5, with a wide margin, the right to be enlisted among the best titles of the years and to be proudly included in the list of the best JRPGs ever created.

Persona 5 is arguably one of the best JPRG's that has seen the light of day here. In addition, the game is also accessible to both acquaintances of the franchise and newcomers. If you're a huge fan of anime and narrative JRPGs, this game is an absolute must for your collection.‎

Weighing in at over 100 hours of gameplay, Persona 5 is one that you will want to spend time with. Brilliant voice work, a decent translation and solid gameplay mechanics make this one of the best RPGs I’ve played in a long time.

Persona 5 is unrepentantly stylish, and absolutely seamless in keeping its players immersed in its world. Every moment is exciting, from traversing the masterfully crafted dungeons, to living it up with Joker's friends and acquaintances. There are some moments that don't mesh perfectly with the tone of the story, but even they help to paint a portrait of a group of teenagers dissatisfied with the world at large. Persona 5 is a joy from start to finish, and it never drops its fashionable facade - not even for a second.

Even by JRPG slow boil standards, Persona 5 takes forever to get going and trips over its own feet along the way, losing some progressive teeth in the process. But once it starts going it is still an absorbing experience thanks to some tight gameplay and fetching visuals. If you’re craving a new JRPG that will steal at least a hundred hours of your life while keeping you entertained, this one is for you.

Though there is a lot to play in 2017, Persona 5 is one RPG you just can't pass up. The wait was well worth it, and you shouldn't be surprised to see Persona 5 pop up on quite a few game-of-the-year lists come December.

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.

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.

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.
