At the risk of sounding unoriginal, Persona 5 has stolen my heart.

The gameplay loop of balancing your social life and heists as a Phantom Thief had me hooked for over 150 hours. The game's UI and style are beautiful. The music is incredible. Battles are fun and the story kept me engaged. I already miss my in-game friends. Although these thoughts have been repeated to death, they couldn't be closer to the truth. This has definitely become one of my all-time favourite games.

I have so much to say about this game and would love to write a more in-depth review, however, the amount of time I've spent playing the damn thing has made me avoid my IRL obligations more times than I'd like to admit...
