Even if you played the original game, Persona 5 Royal feels like a different game in a lot of places specially the way it handles some characters if you compare it with the base game, right now P5R still is one of the greatest JRPG of this generation

Persona 5 Royal is a title that excels in all sections and that manages to surprise even the players of the original game. From Atlus they were very clear about what they wanted to offer with this part and have managed to sign one of the best JRPGs in history, and without a doubt one of the clear contenders for best games in recent years.

Games don’t come much more grandiose than Persona 5 Royal. While occasionally straining under the sheer scale of its many gameplay and story elements, Royal’s many improvements plus grounded characters, addictive combat and flamboyant presentation are overwhelmingly endearing traits.

And ALL OF THIS is wrapped into an amazing blend of story, characters, music and visuals that sing so well together. I think it goes without saying, Persona 5 Royal is a shining example of what both an RPG and a revamp of an already stellar RPG should be. With the plenty of amazing dialog, emotions, environments and the general crazy that comes with a Shin Megami Tensei, the return of the Phantom Thieves may yet again steal away that Game of the Year title as right now? It’s currently mine!

Person 5: Royal is the refinement of an already excellent title. I consider it the best jrpg experience and one of the best games in general of this generation. It has perfectly balanced gameplay, great longevity, replayability, lots of new content and great art direction. I am really happy that it has finally been located. This way it can really be enjoyed by everyone. It will steal your heart!

The extra hours we earn with this title are well worth its acquisition, but it is not just that. It is the translation into Spanish, they are the new characters and it is, in short, the whole set, which exalts it as the the most complete Persona game of the saga. It's really worth playing.

Persona 5 is widely considered one of the best JRPGs ever made. With a highly emotional story teeming with incredibly written characters and a challenging turn-based combat system all brought together with stylish visuals and a heart-pounding soundtrack. Persona 5 Royal is an updated version of the original title that adds enough content and changes that it warrants another purchase. With new relationships to forge, boss enemies changes, and much more Persona 5 Royal is easily a contender for Game of the Year of 2020 and one of the best RPGs of this generation.

It’s not quite perfect, but its closer than any JRPG has come in the last decade or more and breathes new life into a lagging genre. If you like RPGs, anime, engrossing narratives, or just a second life to live, and you are anything like me and have lamented the dearth of real quality JRPGs in the last decade, you owe it to yourself not to miss this.

A superb JRPG was made even better in every single facet. Persona 5 Royal is without a doubt one of the greatest games of this generation. After 115 hours I still look forward to an eventual fourth playthrough in the future.

I cannot praise this title enough, from its engaging plot, its mystique behind the metaverse, our fascinating cast of quirky thieves, and their deviously bemused foes; Its a recipe for unmitigated satisfaction. The title will mark itself in gaming history, as one of the greatest turn-based Japanese Role Playing Games ever developed. Persona 5 Royal is in a class of its own, and a must have for all gamers.
