i hate srpgs with every fiber of my being
Massive upgrade over the first Devil Survivor game.
Discarding the addition of a compendium, a severe mistake the 3DS release of DeSu1 addressed, there are so many aspects that were improved in the formula that make this game immaculate
For one, none of the bosses have a gimmick that abuses the lack of a hyperspecific team composition.
In DeSu1, not having Flight or Phantasm almost meant a death sentence later in the game due to all bosses having a much larger range than anything you ever get access in the game, thus able to pick you apart without being able to retaliate
Record Breaker's specific additions are also a slam in the park. Race abilities getting an upgraded form add much more utility to already stellar demons, and some that were not as viable suddenly become powerhouses capable of making several encounters a joke (Dragon and Vile race demons now turn YOU into a DeSu1 boss with unfair range)
Story is fantastic, and I would call the added Triangulum Arc as essential to the experience

the (somehow) worse Persona 5
pretty great game, though in comparison to devil survivor 1 it falls a bit flat in some aspects. i prefer how devil survivor 1 handled average citizens trying to survive in an apocalyptic event, compared to the jp's stuff in 2. the end to each day is less impactful this time because you always have a safe place to come back to, and the death videos aren't nearly as interesting as the death clock and laplace mail. also i think some characters like daichi, keita, and io are particularly boring or bad. that being said, i do think the septentriones are cool antagonists and once the conflicting ideologies are brought into the mix the story is pretty good. i also did enjoy some of the cast like makoto, jungo, and especially joe even though i feel like he could've been written better. overall i think it was pretty good, and i'll get around to playing the triangulum arc eventually.
This game tickles me in the right way, shame I haven't gotten to the Triangulum arc tho.
Good writing, gameplay and music.
Play it.

Decent port of a good sequel, though I still prefer the first Devil Survivor. I also wish that this game took better advantage of the 3DS's graphical capabilities.
Fire Emblem wishes it was as kino as punching a fucking constellation cuz it clogged the hard drive
If you liked the first game, this is more of the same with gameplay additions, like the Fate System (which is like a light version of Persona's social links). Whether that makes it better or worse is up to you.
Quality of life improvements and reduced difficulty, but a lesser story.
Absolutely fantastic, the characters and story may not be as in-depth as other MegaTen games but they're still enjoyable and fun from beginning to end. The music is great it fits with the game's theme and tone and makes you feel the impact of key moments in the story. I managed to sink in over 200+ hours of playtime to the game.
A step down from the original but still a very great game in its own right
Fun gameplay and a good cast of characters Airi, Joe, Jungo, Yamato, and Makoto. The new Record Breaker edition added voice acting for almost all lines, an easy difficulty, and a new story path set after the main game that can be played from the start. The voice actors do a great job. New scenario events often involve multiple characters interacting instead of just you and one person. All characters are further developed (was much needed for Keita). More sprite animations and cutscenes in new scenario.
Only problems are that depending on the kind of demons you make you can make some battles really difficult, but for the most part the game is really easy. There's really no reason to let anyone die before the final day in the main scenario, unless you just want them to, so preventing character death still isn't a big focus of the game (it's not an element at all in the new scenario). Why are all the characters breasts levitating?
