It didn’t quite live up to its predecessors, but Persona 5 is still the best JRPG I’ve played in years.
Positive:

Negative:

Beautiful visuals, both on technical and artistic sides

Less background music variation than in the previous installments

Awesome soundtrack that oozes style
|
Underwhelming (and kind of stupid) human villains
|
Great, funky atmosphere
|
The story up until the very end feels like a collection of set pieces
|
Likable characters
|
Characters pale in comparison to the previous installments
|
Enthralling plot

Story feels a lot more simplistic compared to previous installments
|
Awesome culmination (once human villains are out of the way)

|
Thought-provoking on society

Fantastic challenging but fair game-play

The social sim parts are absolutely addicting
