A good Persona story, a middling video game. The tactical combat is solid but not very deep, and there is even more dialogue than a standard Persona game (without the social sim elements of the core Persona games or even the bare bones social elements of Persona 5 Strikers). I love these characters and have played Persona 5 to completion three times, but even I got bogged down at times. The persona and equipment systems are good as always, and setting up effective combos in the combat is satisfying. Just be prepared for a novel’s worth of reading. All in all a B/B- from a typically A+ franchise.
