    I have played Persona 5 Royal from Atlus and loved it. The trailers for this game intrigued me. Having played approximately 32 hours now, this game is fantastic! From the story to the game mechanics, I can’t recommend it highly enough! Also, I was able to get the game for $20 less due to the Black Friday sale. Making it an even better deal! You should play this game!

    A bold new IP from the makers of Persona series

    Having played pretty much all Persona games dating back to P2, this new IP by Atlus is a bold challenge to do something different while keeping some of the turn based JRPG aspects intact. For those that like Persona 5, 4 and even 3 this is worth giving it a shot. Personally looking forward for a sequel of this series

    One of the best games, Atlus has ever put out. A culmination of all their work since the 80s has led up to this title with the topics discussed being more relevant as time passes. Combat is smooth as butter and the music is so unique and powerful.

    The game is fun and such a great genre if you're a fan of the persona series this is the game for you It's similar to persona but you can actually attack mobs that are lower level then you I'd greatly recommend this product to Persona fans and even newcomers to this game

    It's a good game. If you're a fan of the Persona games, then this is a no brainer. If you're a fan of JRPGs, then this is worth a try. Is this a game of the year contender? Personally, I don't think so, but there are many others that think otherwise. I just didn't think it was better than some of the other JRPGs I've played recently, nor was it better than Persona 5 Royal in my honest opinion. But again, it's a good game. It's essentially the same old Persona we know and love, but with a different coat of paint. You can easily push through 100 hours of gameplay time if you try to do everything in the game. There's just so much to do in it. It's a solid 8/10 experience.

    35 or so hours in, Metaphor is excellent, creative, and a blast to play. I enjoy the main cast, the general gameplay, the combat, art style, story, and OST. If you like Persona or SMT, this is likely another winner.

    I'm currently towards the end of the first dungeon and while it isn't exactly like Persona, it is similar enough with an interesting world to keep me engaged and playing. Combat feels faster for sure, which is nice. I'm excited to explore the characters more. Will update this after I finish.

    Persona by way of Game of Thrones

    It's Persona if it were set in Game of Thrones. If that sounds appealing you'll love it. Mechanically, this is persona 5. A common complaint I hear about the Persona series is "it sounds cool but the anime high school setting just doesn't appeal to me." Well then this is the game for you. No highschool. No deep references to Japanese culture or history. If anything, this one has more western roots in its medieval cultures and monsters. Hieronymus Bosch was a big influence on the art direction. I personally think it's the best game the persona team has put out since persona 4.
