When you think of a Persona spinoff you would think of something like a dancing game or a fighting game, not a muso. This was a gamble that was taken, and it was done well.

Story: Following the story of Persona 5 vanilla (sadly not Royal), the gang gets together for summer vacation, which unholds is an adventure that is packed with fun. The story of this game is simple though it works so perfectly, due to it being summer vacation. It feels like the story went y in a breeze, and that was the point of summer for all of us tend to go by in a breeze. The story delivered perfectly.

Gameplay: Now this being a muso I will state this, I never tend to play these types of games but did that tender my enjoyment of the gameplay, no it did not. I feel like the gameplay is the weakest but it not due to the combat (even though I did rage at times) it the fact that there this sameness in the game. When I mean by the sameness it follows a formula explore the real world, then go to the dungeon, rinse and repeat, and at first it is fun but it did turn into a slog for me at a certain point.

Music: I know I do not mention music a ton in my reviews but Persona gets an exception because it just "chef kiss" perfect in all ways. I was able to get the bonus content for this game, and it comes with the soundtrack, and man all the songs snap during it.

Sidequests: So for sidequests in this game the requests come back from P5, and I did not do all of them but about the 30 and I did I will admit they can be fun. The thing was when I got to a certain point in the game I was at the point I was done doing requests because these can overwhelm the player in the latter half. I plan on going back later to hopefully finish them off.

Enjoyment: Strikers is the summer vacation that with the right set of friends it can be an experience and or summer vacation that is unforgettable
