Despite being a spin-off, strikers feels like more of a sequel to Persona 5 than anything else, it feels very final in a "what if the gang had one last adventure" sort of way, being a sucker for wholesome times, it was great, the combat is far more action based as it's no longer confined to the turn based trappings of the mainline Persona entries, you're dispatching dozens of enemies at once, and that's great fun. The soundtrack feels both similar to Persona 5 while having a more "rock" sensibility which works shockingly well with its Jazz archetype. The only issue I have with the game is that the final boss felt like it went on forever, otherwise, a solid sendoff for the characters, though I doubt Atlus will stop milking the games.
