Persona 5 has a great first act and great sense of style that gives it a nice identity, you can feel the level of polish this game had from its menus, the sound design and quality of life additions. The combat would be close to perfect for a turn-based game if the game wasn't a bit too easy save for a few spikes here and there. The characters are all fun and distinct and the story good but not perfect however it is improved by the 3rd semester's addition but at the same time the 3rd semester also has a few problems. Overall I highly enjoyed it, 100+ hours well spent.

Honestly way more fun than I was originally expecting, gameplay can be a bit rough at first but once I got used to it I was having a lot of fun, especially playing as Sophie, Wolf, Noir and Joker (obviously). Most of the Phantom Thieves are pretty enjoyable within the game's story maybe except Makoto and Futaba a little bit, I especially enjoyed Morgana, Yusuke and Haru way more in this game than P5/P5R because of their much needed screen time but the standouts for me by far are Sophia and Zenkichi since they're pretty much my favorite parts of the game, even Ichinose. Music is mostly okay with standouts like Counter Strike which is probably a top P5 era song for me.
