It's definitely a musou game, but at the same time, it still captures the essence and feel of Persona 5 thanks to fantastic integration of the Persona 5 mechanics, graphics, and storyline. You might not enjoy this game as much if you're not into the Persona series (and you do need to have played the original Persona 5 to understand the background), but it held my attention throughout the entire game and I'm really happy that I got to go back to this universe again.
