Some good mechanics and a quite original (?) game flow don't make a good game, I guess.

Shifting between worlds and worlds-within-worlds is great. But that's it?

It's boring and pointless, and its aesthetics is intriguing but nothing more. I just finshed it and I am alread forgetting these 3 hours.

P5R's writing feels like it was a tug of war between passionate artists who cared about telling a good story, and cynical executives who were trying to write something safe and inoffensive. The end result is a contradictory mess that failed to keep me engaged.

Also, the additional content in Royal trips over itself and falls on its face trying to introduce moral complexity to the story. Maruki did nothing wrong.
