A very faithful musou spin off to Persona 5 that manages to keep the roots of what made the original title this spinoff was based on very alive here. Introduces some interesting characters and probably one of the best party members in a Persona game in a long time.

Gameplay can be a bit dull around bosses from having to spam SP moves since these bosses were just HP sponges from playing on Hard mode but the game works really well for it with how it integrates the original mechanics of the JRPG with being able to fuse your own demon and using your own abilities. Only a few jails here really match up with the quality of some of the palaces but they still each provide their own theme and gimmicks.

Music here might retread with some remixes from Persona 5 but there are definitely some new songs here that really knock it out of the park.

I would say it's a must play for any Persona 5 fan as it also gives you more scenes that flesh out the characters with some characters needing it more than others while also being a nice virtual road trip around Japan.
