Persona 4 Golden Reviews
Persona 4 Golden is akin to observing an artist’s work that serves as a bridge between their early work and their magnum opus. It was a stepping stone between the earlier games and what would become Persona 5. At the same time, it’s a time capsule that perfectly captures the culture and lifestyle of the 2000’s.
Outstanding game, although in this PC version a patch is needed to polish some problems. Outstanding story and amazing gameplay. The Persona saga does not disappoint.

More than 10 years after its original release, Persona 4 Golden is finally available for modern consoles. Its qualities include an engaging investigation story, fun characters, several interesting side quests and challenging battles. Certainly, the ideal would be for it to present improvements over the original, but still, what we have available is worthy of the best JRPGs and a must-have in your library.

Persona 4 Golden is a game that combines narrative with turn-based RPG, resulting in remarkable gameplay. A serious story full of mystery with all kinds of characters willing to help, a memorable soundtrack and a lot to experience. A game that everyone should try, especially now that it is in Spanish.

Persona 4 Golden has cemented its place in the pantheon of great JRPGs, and revisiting the game on a big screen only serves to reinforce that reputation. From its charming young cast to its twisting and turning story, this game has everything that makes a great RPG.
Persona 4 Golden comes to PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch with very little news compared to the original PlayStation Vita but with something that makes it totally irresistible to Spanish-speaking users: the Spanish localization. Despite the fact that these versions show the passing of the years, the technical improvement has been very discreet, and it is only available in digital format, this is a great work and one of the best games in the franchise. No fan of the saga or of RPGs in general can or should let it go.

But what if you're brand new to the Persona series? Then we actually recommend you to get started with "Persona 5 Royal", the latest version of "Persona 5". Since the games do not build on each other and each devour 80 hours of play, it is worth getting started with the most modern and beginner-friendly offshoot. Then you can focus on the classic titles.

If you were wondering if Persona 4 Golden would manage to stand the test of time, don’t worry, it did. Playing it on a console is still as fun as it was on the PS Vita. Even if its visuals aged like curded milk, and the dungeon crawling segments aren’t that engaging, the rest of the game is just too damn entertaining to complain about. The music, the characters, the setting, the fusing system, the fast-paced combat, the utterly fantastic plot… Persona 4 Golden is just great.
Even as it nears its fifteenth anniversary, Persona 4 Golden is still one of the best RPGs ever made and an absolute must-play for fans of the genre or really anyone who has spent all of these years wondering what the big deal is. This isn’t a case of having to choose style or substance. Persona 4 Golden has more of both than you can fit in a hollow bear suit. Don’t let it pass you by.
Anyone who plays Persona 4 will quickly notice that it is the basis for the creation of Persona 5. There is no escaping this reality. Fortunately, we are pleased to note that a game from 2008 still manages to present arguments to go head to head with another from 2016, or even the most recent releases from the Publisher. Despite all the similarities present, with this title in particular, the game presents a sufficiently interesting experience, demonstrating that there are titles, despite how old they are, they deserve to have an opportunity these days. Persona 4 Golden is one of them!

Persona 4 Golden is a superb JRPG that stands the test of time with a brilliant cast of characters, fulfilling main story, and addicting gameplay. This excellent JRPG is finally portable again on Nintendo Switch, providing one of the best ways to play Persona 4 Golden with its new quality of life improvements and features. This is a must-buy for JRPG veterans and newcomers alike.
It’s really hard to find any fault with Persona 4 Golden. It’s so fun to play that the only reason you won’t be buying this title is if you still have your PS Vita or have already bought the PC port of it. In other words, replaying the game wherever you choose will still provide the same fantastic experience as before. Persona 4 Golden is still the timeless classic that it has been since it was first released. We’ve gotten to the bottom of it, and the bottom line is that Persona 4 Golden is solid gold goodness you must own.
Persona 4 Golden should not be whimsically neglected, as it leads a legacy of evolving a parent category, and re-establishing the Persona franchise as one of the greatest of all time.
Following hot on the stylish heels of last year’s excellent, long-awaited Persona 5 Royal Switch port, Atlus has done the unthinkable: they’ve given Nintendo fans more of what they want. Persona 4 Golden has come to Switch, and with it, the Switch’s already-extraordinary JRPG library gets even better. This is about as simple of a port as they come, with no major changes or additions to the original experience–but with a title as beloved as Persona 4, this port doesn’t need to do anything more than that. Whether you dock your Switch to explore the TV world or explore Inaba in handheld mode, this Switch port lets Persona 4 Golden shine without compromise.
With new high-resolution graphics, 60FPS, and the more than welcome quality of life features, it all combines to modernise a classic for a new generation - with only a few nitpicks in translation. In short, it raises the bar for remasters altogether - now looking almost as breathtaking as the story and its writing, both of which have aged like a fine wine.
After all these years, this game still holds up. Hold the lattes for a few days and pick up Persona 4 Golden—you won’t regret it.
Persona 4 Golden is as iconic as ever as it hits Xbox Game Pass and consoles. It's got a few issues holding it back but it is an excellent experience in a contemporary setting.
Persona 4 Golden on PC is a great conversion and represents a result that goes beyond expectations given Atlus' limited resume on this platform. The unlocked frame rate and the ability to adjust the rendering scale are appreciable technical additions in the JRPG landscape on PC.
