Second Persona game down and I really enjoyed this one too, although a little less than 5. I loved the dorm setting and how you live with the team, seeing them every day and doing all sorts of little interactions and things together. It makes the team feel very tight knit, both through the story and as friends who live together. The story itself feels a bit uneven to me, taking a long time to pick up steam, leaving key elements introduced a bit late to be as impactful as they could be. It does come together nicely towards the end though, and is made all the stronger by how well they’ve crafted the party and their bonds. This is matched with a typically great soundtrack, which has an infectious hip-hop, upbeat sound, but does switch to some beautiful, more sad music when things start to get real.

The turn based battling is still very enjoyable to me, although Tartarus is a bit of a sticking point. It almost feels like a group project that the team clock into after hours to whittle away. They banter, grow in their abilities, and there are some cool little features added to Tartarus as you progress. I really enjoy that feeling of your squad being a team in and out of battle. It’s just not memorable at all. Very little of note happens for the most part, you just keep battling and going up. The same can be said for most of the boss battles before a certain point. They’re just bosses, not much to say really. The later bosses are a big improvement, it just takes a long time to get there.
