Warning: This Persona 5 Royal review contains minor spoilers. So if you want to remain completely oblivious, the TL;DR version of this review is this: if you loved Persona 5, P5R seamlessly integrates the new characters and adds many awesome new features that I think you will love.But the number one reason I am most excited about playing Persona 5 Royal (and I'm betting this is the same for you, too) is to woo my new waifu, Kasumi. I hope this game steals your heart all over again, just like it has mine.

Persona 5 Royal managed to motivate me to spend another over 70 hours with the game again and I haven't regretted it for a second. Even after three years there aren't a lot RPGs that can offer anything like this game and with the tons of new features and content even owners of the original game can easily dive into it again.

A sensibly revised and expanded new edition of an already almost perfect Japanese role-playing game.

For those that have already enjoyed the original game, this is a fan's dream, with everything you could wish for and more, with nearly every aspect improved upon. A spellbinding videogame, and one that deserves to be spoken about in reverential terms for many years to come.

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and maybe you’ll even feel a sense of justice for the infamous Phantom Thieves in the end. But one thing you won’t feel is regret in picking up Persona 5 Royal, as it’s truly the best Persona title, if not one of the best video games, I’ve ever experienced to date.

Persona 5 Royal proves to be a JRPG beyond what was presented to us three years ago. Even if you have already had contact with the title, go for it, because Atlus managed to transfor it in a way that makes it even more dynamic, addictive and fun.

Persona 5 Royal is everything I could want out of a re-release. The game’s style and charm shine brightest in this version as it made an already great game even better. The balances and new additions were based on long-time fan criticisms, and it’s evident that the developers used it as a foundation to update this adventure while still throwing in some quality-of-life changes that I didn’t know the game needed, but ended up loving anyway.

Persona 5 Royal does nearly everything right: It's a huge RPG with an interesting setting and a superb story that catches you from the first minute. It has an unbelievable amount of complex system that work perfectly together. Translations are a first in the Persona series and will make the series gain a bigger audience - which is well deserved. You can spend hundreds of hours with the thieves and it doesn't get boring!

Persona 5 was already a magnificent RPG, one of the best this generation, but The Royal content has just made it even more essential. All of the additions feel important and necessary and contribute positively to an already fulfilling game. If you haven’t dived into Persona 5 before, you’re in for an incredible treat. It’s the perfect way to fill hours in the day and right now, that sounds just perfect.

Persona 5 Royal is the crown jewel of the series. It expands and improves upon everything that made the original a powerhouse title in the first place. The new activities and confidants staggeringly stand out, and the numerous minor improvements subtly propel the game into a masterful league of its own. Roll out a scarlet carpet and hail the king of JRPGs.

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.

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

By this point, it’s fair to say that I’ve talked, ad nauseam, about Persona 5 Royal. But for those of you wanting a TL;DR, here it is: Persona 5 Royal is an absolutely, positively fantastic experience, and anyone who considers themselves to be a fan of the series would be doing themselves a disservice if they didn’t pick it up. I may not know what lies in the future for the Phantom Thieves, but if this game’s any indicator, things are looking very good.

Persona 5 Royal is the perfect ending blow for the Persona 5 story. This full version is the best RPG game so far this year. It has a meticulous plot, varied and complete battles, a perfect drawing, excellent soundtrack and many extras. The only problem is the not good introduction of the new girl along story.
