his is the game that almost, ALMOST made me buy a PS4 just to play it. I discovered this masterpiece at the end of 2018/beginning of 2019, where my friends at the time were obsessed with the franchise, especially this game. When Joker was announced for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, I decided to take a look at the game as a whole (yes, on YouTube like thousands of people have already done and which became a meme, since I didn't have money for a PS4 and I was still a teenager in high school).
I was suffering from very depressive episodes that weren't good at the time (pressure from college entrance exams, a new school that was really tough, living with relatives, very high anxiety, etc.), but consuming Persona 5 Royal content really improved my well-being, because I was completely immersed in the game, in an impressive way. I delved deeper into several characters, I was amazed at the high quality of the game, and very happy to have discovered this franchise. Fortunately, years later, the game made its way to several other platforms besides the PS4, which gave me the chance to play the game for myself... and I LOVED it!
Almost 200 hours of pure fun, it's an extremely well-made game in every aspect! Even with its flaws in some parts (Quinta dungeon, specifically), the game is still a 10/10 for me, for sure. This game makes me want to play the other games in the franchise with great pleasure (I intend to do 100% of Golden soon), which seem to be on the same level as this one. I recommend it to ALL JRPG fans, you won't regret it. It's one of the only games that I would have the pleasure of buying full-price, but it goes on sale frequently, so that's all the more reason to pick up this gem.
