JRPGs will never be the same again.
"Persona 5" is an absurdly imaginative game.

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.

Persona 5 may not pull up many trees in terms of innovation, but it refines and refreshes the things that make a great RPG work. The real star of the show however, is the world this RPG inhabits, and the people in it that you come to adore. Persona 5 is something to sink your entire self into, and end up feeling utterly despondent about when you finally have to leave its stylish embrace.
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.
Persona 5 expands upon many of the elements that the series has featured in the past, while also streamlining certain aspects to make it an even smoother ride. It’s a spectacular RPG experience that is truly in a league of its own, and fans of the series and the genre in general owe it to themselves to check it out.
Persona 5 surpasses its predecessors through some well-made changes and makes it way back to the top of the JRPG-Chain. Besides a small feeling of an outdated Gameplay you'll get probably one of the best JRPGs of the last years that even will surprise some of the older Persona Fans. If you haven't got into JRPGs yet: This is your best entry point.

It’s an easier experience with a story that’s markedly simpler than past entries, but Persona 5 is still operating on a whole different level than its peers. A simplistic yet ultimately winning JRPG with loads of content.
Persona 5 is a JRPG that deserves to be played, period. There are few other games that understand their genre as well as Persona 5 does. It knows exactly what Persona fans, JRPG fans, and gamers in general want to see. It's not just a game, it's an addiction, and if you give it a shot you too will find yourself playing and replaying Persona 5 for the better part of 2017.
Persona 5 is simply one of the greatest games and JRPG in recent years. Atlus excelled itself with one incredible title that not only offers an even better and perfected formula from its fantastic predecessor (Persona 4) but also shows how a series can evolve with a few additions and accurate adjustments. With its unique, dark and enjoyable story; cast of memorable characters; a fluid and addictive battle system; and a wide variety of activities to do, is just impossible to find any reason to negate yourself this great experience. Even if you are not a fan of the genre, this is a title you should play at any cost.

Persona 5, which offers you a gameplay time of 80-90 hours that you will never forget for your fee, must take its place in your game library as one of the best experiences you can get.

Persona 5 is special, even more so for people who have been paying attention to this series for the past few decades. Just, you know, clear your calendar for a while.
Persona 5 delivers on every front, from story to gameplay, it is polished to perfection. However there are some minor issues with the game particularly related to its presentation that stop it from achieving a perfect score.
Persona 5 is proof that few titles can compare to a truly great role-playing game. Over its 60 hour playtime I got to forge meaningful friendships with an eccentric cast of characters, discover the secrets of Tokyo, and even managed to find some nice restaurants to dine at. The time investment might seem like a lot, but rarely is time wasted when spent with friends. It doesn’t reinvent the genre, as it largely builds upon Persona 4‘s stellar base, but it adds a level of polish that is simply lacking from its contemporaries.
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.

Persona 5 is a masterful game, which has breathed new life into the JRPG genre; it has injected a flair of style that hasn't quite been matched before, and as such, has become a new standard for JRPGs to match. Despite this though, the game is far from perfect, but is most definitely the most powerful evolution of Persona to date. Here's hoping we don't get 20 Persona 5 spinoffs and Persona 6 will be able to finally encrust this franchise in the annals of history forever.
Surpassing its predecessors in every way, Persona 5 redefines the Japanese RPG with a stylish band of rogues that should please any fan of the genre.
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.
