Persona 5 Royal Reviews
Persona 5 Royale is a marvelous victory lap.
Everything Persona 5 Royal adds is a boon to the experience but, unfortunately, it’s not enough to fix the deeply-embedded issues at the heart of the original game.
Persona 5 Royal on PS5 manages to be better than the previous version just for its graphics, performance and additional content, but in the end, it's the same title from 2020. With that in mind, the game becomes a must-buy only for those who still did not have the opportunity to test the PS4 version. If this is not your case, don't invest your money here.

Even in 2022, Persona 5 Royal stands as one of the best JRPGs on the market. If you call yourself a JRPG fan and for some reason have yet to play Persona 5 Royal then you need to get right on that no matter which platform you have to buy it on. If you’ve yet to play the game then I’d still say it is a 10/10 experience but I’m personally marking the PlayStation 5 version a bit lower as I already played this before and it doesn’t bring enough new features to the table to warrant the higher score.
Overall, Persona 5 Royal is effectively the same game it was on the PS3/PS4, but now it's portable. The colorful and simple graphics age extremely well, and while the frame rate and resolution won't match the new HD versions, they are more than adequate for the sort of game that Persona 5 is. The title remains an absolute masterclass in how style and strong art design can create a more distinctive and memorable experience than the most realistic graphics on the market, and that carries through on the Switch, even if it sometimes appears less sharp.
Finally, being able to play Persona 5 Royal on the go is truly a dream come true. There are some downgrades due to the limitations of the Nintendo Switch, but the balance between downgrades and retaining enjoyability has been perfected. It is, at last, time to steal some hearts while out and about!
undefined.I have had some variation of "Port Persona 5 (Royal) to Switch you cowards" in my writing for years now, since it was my favorite game of 2017 - and given the company it'd be keeping in Nier Automata, Super Mario Odyssey, and the original Mario + Rabbids that's a high bar. It took me five and a half years to get a second playthrough for Persona 5, but the third might be faster than that if I can get through January's gauntlet quickly.
If you already own Persona 5 Royal on PS4, then, there might not be enough here to convince you to buy it again. It’s a more pleasant, nicer-looking experience, sure, but beyond that it’s exactly the same game. For newcomers though, it should be a no-brainer. One of the best RPGs of the last decade, perhaps of all-time, now looks and plays better then ever before. And while it hardly transforms the experience, the inclusion of a substantial amount of DLC sweetens the deal.
Persona 5 Royal is a very good and pleasant experience for those users who have not experienced Persona 5 and want to step into the world of Oriental role-playing games.

Reboot of the big jRPG hit from three years ago. Although the introduced novelties do not change the main assumptions of the game, there are enough of them to reach for this title again.

Three years ago Persona 5 sunk its hooks into me and kept me playing for well over 100 hours until I rolled credits. Now three years later Persona 5 Royal has done it to me again. While much of the experience was the same Persona 5 game I had already played some nice new changes made it better in ways I didn’t know I wanted. Not only that but the new content such as Kasumi, the new palace, and new places such as the Thieves Den and new area of Tokyo made it all worth it.
Unique JRPG is back with enhanced edition and for most fans it is absolutely flawless.

Persona 5 Royal has done everything in its power to make a fresh experience out of an already released game. Despite the fact that Persona 5 is a title that is worth playing time and again, but the addition of new content in this version of the game is so extensive that it feels like a brand new title. Even if we choose to ignore all the new gameplay features, the game is well worth a second playthrough because of 30 hours of fresh story content

As stylish as ever and filled with tons of new content and improvements, Persona 5 Royal is the very best JRPG of this generation that deserves to steal all of our hearts.
Persona 5 Royal does what it set out to do: Make Persona 5 a better and more rounded experience with more content.
Improving and enhancing an already excellent game is hard to imagine due it being a huge risk, meaning a change in what fans love about the game could risk getting an angry reaction. However, the developers excelled in taking a good game to a whole new level of excellence and position it as a legendary experience for newcomers. The game is also fun and extraordinary for people who are fans of the original title.

The original Persona 5 was already a joy to play; however, this version definitely steps up to the plate and knocks it out of the park.
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.
