Forums - Sony - Persona 5 gets 10/10 in first western review

Pretty late... We already had 2 French reviews months ago, using imported games.

Results: 10/10 for Gameblog and 9/10 for Gamekult.

How was the game received in Japan? Better than P4?

Famitsu scored Persona 5 : Overall Score: 39/40

Famitsu scored Peronsa 4 - Golden Overall Score: 35/40


So yes its scoreing better than P4.

 

We re in for 80-90 hours of godly JRPG soon :)

It "feels" like the Playstation 2 days...... sooooooo many good games.

That's great but I fully expect those scores to come down a lot. Most mainstream publications aren't going to want to give a niche (and very Japanese) game a better score than the big, well-known franchises. Some fans would lose their minds in righteous fury. I also expect other reviewers to penalize it because they can't hack'n'slash their way to victory.

Relative to the article, if it's better than P4G then, seriously, wow.

Biased americans reviewers refuseing to give a game the score it deserves because its japanese? is that what your saying?

I think the game is so well made it ll probably end up with a 90+ rateing.



Well I have never played a Persona game,so I will give this a try.



Why do people think western reviewers are going to give Persona a low score? I just checked Metacritic and P4: Golden has a 93 for the Vita with 61 critic reviews and Persona 3 (both the ps2 and psp versions) scored an 89. Hell, even Persona 4 Arena scored an 85. If Nier can pull a 90, I think Persona might as well.

From the "real" amazon reviews, they're saying it's the best Persona.



"There is only one race, the pathetic begging race"

And I just preordered the Take Your Heart edition, cause I'm crazy.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Sony seriously need to slow down with the awesome output of stellar titles.

Hopefully this gets over 90 on Metacritic.



Thats excellent news.Not that I expected any different for Persona.

"In fact, the magazine says it’s not only better than its predecessor, but also tops Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 15. "
Thats really easy to achieve.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

So im going to say 2nd highest of the year after the reviews come out. 

I think that belongs to RDR 2, critics love Rockstar
