Incredible game, probably a top 5 game for me all-time. Alluringly convoluted and enticing mystery that left me pining to delve further into the truth. Every twist made me believe I had figured it out, just to throw another bonkers twist in the mix. Pretty environments, great character design, top-notch voice acting. Combat was surprisingly engaging and fun. Fantastic first VN experience that only makes me want to play more VN's in this vein.

Wonderful first experience with the Persona series. Music was superb, and the overall vibe of the game day to day was so unique and fun. Voice acting was great. Story was intriguing, and the cast was diverse and dynamic. Really felt like real people at times. It is a JRPG, but felt like it began to drag at the end slightly. Didn't take away from the experience at all, though. Ending and message was great. Actually something to take away from the game; to cherish the moment and celebrate life while you have it, and find purpose in those you care deeply about. Really resonated with me and my experiences. Can't wait to play more Persona games in the future.
Another completed FromSoftware game. The game has really high highs, but some low lows for me. Not sure if it's because I am so used to movement from DS1 and DS3, but I found the beginning to be frustrating to get used to. That, combined with the fact that the bosses weren't as memorable to me as other FS games, leads me to rate it a bit lower than other FS games I have played. Will definitely replay in the future though.
