I’ve heard the first two Persona games are not nearly as beloved as the next three, so I’m not ready to give up on this series yet. But playing Persona 2 on PSP might be my least favorite rpg experience I’ve ever had. Boring corridors filled with generic enemies, inscrutable gameplay, some kind of overwrought card system. I actually liked the characters and was interested to see where the story was going, at least compared to the first game, but it’s unlikely I ever come back to see how it turns out. An early dungeon where you’re wandering lost in the basement of a school features some of my least favorite game design of all time, and I didn’t make it much further before I had to call it quits.
