Some Reviews

Trailer

Played the demo and preordered

They fixed somenof my minor complaints of Persona 5, which is the best game Atlus ever made. Probably this one will now take the crown

Really excited to play it

After playing the demo, I knew it should be 90+. ATLUS is saving game industry yet again

Played the demo and pre-ordered directly after. Its very rare a demo can sell me a product, but the 10 hours + was just amazing.

What a banger year from ATLUS

I have no interest at the moment in jumping in a 100-hour game, but I'm glad this is doing well.

Damn I'm good at this prediction stuff even though I was way off on Silent Hill 2 remake (really surprising) I got Astro bot tagged at 95 Opencritic and Metaphor tagged at 92 Opencritic. Hopefully this won't slip.

Edit. It slipped. Pity.

Looking like yet another GOTY contender.
And here I thought last year was stacked.

What were those complaints, if you don't mind me asking?

"One more" system in battles were broken to favour the player. They instead used press turn system from SMT

The fact your party is restricted to only one Persona, while here you can set different Archetypes and go for a more diverse and strategic party composition 

Pacing, with less time dedicated to school day activities where nothing really happens 

More dungeons, including small scale dungeons. In P5 all Dungeons were quite big, and you only have one each month. The rest of time needed to be spent in procedure-generated levels 

High school setting, after 3 games, started becoming repetitive when it comes to grinding supports and overall daily activities to increase social stats. Having a different setting is refreshing 

If you die you came back closer to where you died. Huge time waster in SMT where a simple ambush could annihilate you on hard difficulties

Awesome. I love persona 5 but far from the best Atlus game. That honor belongs to Soul Hackers.
