    From its captivating music and memorable story to its gorgeous style, every aspect of the game seems to mesh together and work incredibly well. Each piece builds up and compliments the next, until the game is justified in standing atop the RPG genre as royalty.

    Persona 5 Royal was already the best version of one of the greatest JRPGs, and it has gotten an excellent PC conversion that is a joy to play on Steam Deck and PC. With the inclusion of all prior DLC from the start and support for higher frame rates and multiple control options, Persona 5 Royal on PC is absolutely essential. If you held off on prior console versions of Persona 5, your wait has been worth it.

    Persona 5 Royal is quite frankly one of the best RPGs ever made, and now that it can be played portably you have no more excuses.

    Persona 5 Royal makes the leap to PC with aplomb. There’s a decent suite of options including rebindable controls and resolution scaling, but it’s not quite perfect. Keyboard and mouse leave a small amount to be desired and the UI looks awful at resolutions below 1080. Still, if you’re looking to play one of the most stylish and fun JRPGs around, PC is the perfect way to experience it.

    Persona 5 Royal is one of the greatest games of all time. With it on PC, we now have the definitive version of it ready to take our hearts all over again.

    Endlessly slick, the battles and story are a joy to play through. No turn-based JRPG feels as good as this.

    One of the best JRPGs that, despite the long play time, delights from the first to the last second and surprises again and again.

    P5R is a miracle -- rated M for masterwork. No story has ever carried my imagination farther than P5R; no other video game has ever reachedP5R is a miracle -- rated M for masterwork. No story has ever carried my imagination farther than P5R; no other video game has ever reached such high emotional peaks or such deep psychological depths. P5R makes video games feel alive again, and it makes me feel alive again. The ultimate narrative experience, P5R sustains exhilaration for over 100 hrs, asking you to simply take your time as you develop a beautiful friendship with the Phantom Thieves and learn more about yourself, in the end, wondering how a video game could take your heart. To quote my friend who bought me the game: "I have a feeling you're going to really like this game."… Expand

Superb visuals, soundtrack, story and turn based gameplay.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a masterpiece, an unforgettable experience, an adventure

    It takes a whole 140 hours to finish the game with the side activities, main story, palaces and stuff but it is all worth it. Probably the best 150 hours of your life

    Game gets really good after Sae's palace and onward, Sae, Shido and Maruki's palace are easily the top 3 palaces

    The main story is very engaging and can have you to be emotionally attached to the characters
    it even starts off very well with Kamoshida's arc

    Mais uma obra prima da atlus, a mecânica base da saga shin megami tensei já é cativante por si só, mas a escolha de narrativa de Persona 5 foiMais uma obra prima da atlus, a mecânica base da saga shin megami tensei já é cativante por si só, mas a escolha de narrativa de Persona 5 foi espetacular. Sendo possível criar um apego maior pelos personagens da história. Mas essas melhorias que chegaram no Royal foram magníficas, inclusive a adição dos novos personagens me deixou muito feliz e o novo mapa está enorme e cheio de coisas novas para fazer. A inclusão dos novos "minigames" tanto que melhoram status ou te fornecem moedas no thieves den são bem divertidos e dá pra passar algumas horas relaxando. A adição de cutscenes sociais deixou a narrativa bem mais fluída quando se trata de passar tempo com os confidants. Em questão de jogabilidade eu percebi uma melhora muito significativa além do gancho e das áreas secretas adicionadas nós palácios percebi que o Mementos está bem menos monótono com a expansão das dungeons, adição da loja de flores e selos (por mais que já fosse gerado aleatoriamente não tinha muito o que ser feito além principalmente porque as dungeons eram pequenas). A mudança das armas de tiro fez MUITO mais sentido em relação as explicações do metaverso e melhorou a utilidade geral das armas na gameplay de combate. Falando em combate, o Velvet Room está muito mais legal com as opções de batalha, é possível treinar suas táticas de combate e analisar qual a melhor formação em troca de algumas recompensas bem úteis. Outra coisa que me agradou bastante foi a Morgana não ser mais insuportável, a noite se tornou mais aproveitável tendo algumas atividades extras para fazer até quando não dá pra sair da cafeteria. Em relação as fusões achei divertido, passei muitas horas tentando chegar a fusões específicas. É simplesmente um jogo completo e divertido onde sempre há o que fazer, mesmo quando você não quer seguir a história no momento, da pra se divertir de outra forma completamente diferente. Pontos negativos: Se Persona 5 base era um 8,5 o Royal é um 9,5 pelo simples motivo da Atlus continuar não traduzindo os jogos para PT-BR. Simplesmente um dos locais que mais consome seu produto. Quando a tradução chegar reavaliarei a qualidade narrativa com a tradução.… Expand
