Many hail this as the best Persona game, perhaps even one of the best games of all time; however, I have to disagree. While it is cozy, has an amazing soundtrack (Secret Base, Heaven, Snowflakes, Heartbeat, Heartbreak), great characters (Naoto, Kanji, Yosuke), and a charming artstyle, it's more anime-y, which can be hit-or-miss (miss for me). It led to some awkward and weird moments (the boys constant peeping and Teddie in general), but also some really heartwarming and inspirational moments (confronting the true killer before the final battle).
This game's combat is pretty easy, which is fine since you can adjust the difficulty in many ways. The party members are all useful, and I enjoyed using all of them (except Teddie). Yukiko and Kanji are most likely the two that stand out the most, both specialize in heavy magic and heavy physical damage respectively. The dungeons designs are unique, which is good, but I'm not a fan of them gameplay-wise for whatever reason. They're pretty boring, but at least they're not too long. Exceptions are Secret Base, Heaven, and the Hollow Forest. It's also pretty easy to forget this is a murder mystery game at times...
