Disappointingly similar to the first game in that it has a great core with tons of issues. Namely that the enemy variety is ridiculously bad, nearly as bad as God of War 2018, we essentially only have two new vocations, many quests just aren't very good, and apparently the story loses steam and ends shockingly quickly.

A good remake of the best Persona game

It's a good game, but it's also the best litmus test for good taste in video games. If someone think it's better than 1, you can safely disregard any other opinions they might have.
