If he derived a lot of satisfaction form the portable aspect why not downscore it for missing a feature he personally found to enhance his experience? I think it's a fair reason to know a few points off a game if it is an important element to the reviewer, especially since he's still giving it an 8.5. It's not like the too much water 6.5 debacle.

It's like saying "This game is on Xbox and my friends play on PS4 so I can't play with them, it sucks", it's not about the quality of the game...

No it's not like that at all. Because Jim is only talking about solo play, and on devices he owns and which have cross save so you can play the same playthrough on different devices. So it is about the quality of the experience, for Jim. 99.9999% of other Persona fans may not care one little bit about cross play on PSV, but Jim is writing a review about what's important to him, not what's imortant to other people.

I personally think it was sensible to not release P5 on PSV, it's a dyng platform and there is a very high chance that they would not recover the costs of releasing a PSV version through PSV sales alone. But I have no problem with Jim marking a game down slightly because something of value to him has been excluded.

If he would have given the game a 10 if it had PSV cross play and knocked it down to 8.5 I'd call that too harsh, but knocking it down from a 9 to 8.5. That's only an issue for people who are far too attached to games needing to have 95+ scores on metacritic so they can feel good about themselves for being a fan of the best games.
