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 good. It's very, very good. It's the sort of game that only comes around once every few years. It's a game that is so unique in every aspect that it'd be impossible to mistake a single moment of it for anything else. It's also a game about real life, despite the wacky hijinks you'll often find yourself in. It's about the moments you have with your friends, laughing around a hot pot as you make jokes only those there would understand. It's within those moments that Persona 5 enters a league of its own, untouched by its contemporaries in every respect.

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 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 not only one of the best jRPG's in a decade, but the most polished Atlus product ever, with near perfect balance between great story and classic gameplay. Grab a vacation and be ready for hundred hours of campaign.

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.

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.

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.

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, 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.

Persona 5 isn’t just a game — it’s life-changing. It can inspire you to make a difference in this world. To Wake Up, Get Up, and Get Out There. It changed my heart as well, through the large, community I can call my family to cosplaying the characters I know and love. Persona 5 changed my life.

undefined.While I can't hold the choice of platform against Persona 5, I really wish I could have played this portably – for whatever reason, PlayStation Remote Play doesn't work in my environment and it would have saved me a week of real time. But I asked for a PlayStation 4 for Christmas largely so I could play it under the best circumstances, and it definitely didn't disappoint. Fingers crossed that Persona 5 takes after 3 and 4 and gets a portable version because by then I'll be ready to return to Tokyo.

If you own a PS3 or PS4, you owe it to yourself to play Persona 5. From its presentation to gameplay systems and its many plot twists, there isn't quite anything like it on current or last generation consoles. It's a must-play for fans of the series and newcomers alike.
