Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this game without playing any of the old persona games. I went into it blindly. The game is amazing in every aspect, one that must be played. The uniqueness of it will have most gamers addicted from the very first minute. The game tackles many of today's problems in such a way that evokes catharsis. This is a line that I saw in Metacritic, a website that aggregates reviews of media products, which exemplifies and clarifies what I am trying to say: "At its core, this is a spectacular work of contemporary young adult fiction, one with a strong moral core, angled yet never didactic, expansive yet always focused." -From a Metacritic reviewer.

Amazing story...compelling characters. Cooky JRPG elements...talking cats with superpowers...bad guys in a crown and pink underwear and hairy legs. This game has me fighting to squeeze more of it into my personal time. Very much enjoying it. Great anime sequences. There is a lot of reading...good story. And no screenshots allowed to avoid online spoilers. The photos are from weeks ago when I first got the game. :-) No spoilers!

If you love role playing games this is a wonderful game to play. You do not have to play the entire series to pick up this game and play. It is an amazing game. I love the premise that you collect personas from demons that you battle throughout the whole game. I am 36 hours into the game and totally hooked.

This is literally one of the best jrpg that you will ever come across along with the rest of the persona series. Also is you are looking for a game with a ton of thing to do then this is it right here

Probably the best RPG I've played since Legend of Dragoon.

I purchased this online during Black Friday and was overly excited since it was on my child's wishlist. As a bonus, it was supposed to have came with a Sticker Decal for the PS4 controller. Once i received it however, the cover made no mention of the controller decal that was supposed to have came with the game. I opened the plastic wrap, took a look inside, and the decal sticker was no where to be found. Therefore, buyers beware. This product does not come with all the parts promised in the item's description.

Great game my son likes it it's very fun and interesting.

I haven't finished the game yet but what I can say from the 30 hours that I have played is that this game is incredibly flashy/artsy with everything in the game between menus, battle, and it's animation. The soundtrack is definitely amazing as well, very catchy all the time and often times I found myself getting more hype for enemy encounters than other RPGs I played simply because of the soundtrack. The story is solid from what I played so far and it to summarize it simply it's about a teenager (your main character) who is a Phantom Thief, people who change the hearts by stealing the treasure within their dimension, which is like the mind of their alter ego. I would go into it more but it's simply better for you to play it instead for maximum enjoyment but be prepared for a 60 hour plus playthrough.

This game was no surprise to anyone who knows anything about the Persona Franchise. This is one of the best JRPGs to come out this year, and will go down in time as one of the best JRPGs available for the PS4. The game is absolutely gorgeous, and as usual fun to play. It is a pretty long game though, it took me 96 hours to beat it the first time around. This is the case of those games that one usually plays more than once, perhaps not back to back, but definitely one should come back for a second play through in new game plus. I loved my time with Persona 5, and a great many people will find lots of joy and depth in this game. This is a no brainer, anyone interested in JRPGs, or meaningful story telling with deep impact and character development should pay Persona 5 on the PS4.

This is hands down one of the best JRPG games ever. With over 100 hours worth of gameplay, this game will keep you engaged with its fun battle system, awesome story and beautiful art style.

What a great game. Never been fond of JRPGs. I loved this game. Few games re ignite my passion and keep me playing for days straight. I logged about 80 hours in the first week. Have not played a game since FFX that made me so committed to keep going. Amazing art style, can be overwhelming at times. GREAT gameplay, nice to see turn based combat has not been forgotten. Cool cutscnes, just wish there was more and better paced throughout the game. An amazing soundtrack. Worth every penny. The Japanese audio was a great addition. I did not play it in English, I could not appreciate it as I did the jap audio.

Persona 5 is an amazing game! It has amazing gameplay, amazing characters, an amazing story, and an amazing soundtrack! It's a must buy on PS3 or PS4.

This is a must have for any RPG fan. Persona 5 is the best in the series so far and an excellent game for anyone who owns a PS4.

This was my first Persona game. I really like the fact that the main theme is to change/steal the hearts of the corrupt instead of just killing them. The premise and game play are a bit Matrix- and Inception-like, which I also really liked. The graphics and music are quite polished and stylish. But the combat model is pretty tired (Ni No Kuni-esque, I suppose), and progress is slow. It helps to have insight into Japanese culture as you navigate the dialogue options (or you might gain some along the way). There is not a lot of free time or exploration so you have to choose wisely on those rare occasions when you are not on rails. I would like to play through to the end to see how the story all fits together, but it seems like that may take more time than I am willing to dedicate. Already getting tired of Ryuji blurting out the first thing that pops into his thick head, and Ann is too precious/girly-girl.

Having its Steelbook version is definitely worth it for a wonderful game like Persona 5 (bought Standard on sale for Controller Skin). Half Life Simulator, Half dungeon dweller with Turn-based RPG combat like Pokémon. This wasn't just a game to me, but an adventure. The story was awesome. I loved the seemingly accurate Tokyo setting. The game's soundtrack is super. And finally, I absolutely adore the characters. Each one has their own unique personality and I've gotten attached to many of them due to it being beneficial gameplay-wise. It's truly a phenomenal game. My 2017 Game of the Year. 100/10. Worth the full $60. The game takes at least 70-80 hours long just to complete the main story; about 200 hours to go for that Platinum Trophy.

Quite simply put, this is one of the best gaming "experiences" of this generation. With an eye on brevity, I'd just like to offer a few bullet points which makes this game enjoyable. The game is very charming, unique, has tremendous artistic flair, fun and engaging combat, tells an engrossing story, has memorable characters, deals with heavy hitting social issues, has many gameplay hours, a killer soundtrack to tie everything together, and will stick with you after playing it. Highly recommended for both RPG aficionados and newcomers to role-playing games alike. This game has a bit of everything for everyone.

Amazing story, characters, art direction, gameplay and music

When I first saw this game, I was confused as to how it was getting all these 9 and 10 scores from reviewers online, as the gameplay I had seen was pretty simple and uninteresting. But in the nearly 50 hours I've been playing it (about half way through the game), I can definitely confirm that it is indeed a game that deserves a 93 on Metacritic. It's got possibly the best soundtrack of any game I've played, as well as a great story and fun gameplay. The turn based combat can get a little dry in longer play sessions, but the overall flashiness and colorfulness of it keeps you watching. If anyone's not sure on whether or not to pick it up, I'd say it's definitely worth giving a chance.

The Persona series has always been a successful franchise. With Persona 5, you get a new fresh game. You do not have to play the other games. You are a student at Shujin Academy and you are your friends are trying to change the hearts of people. It’s a rpg with the best music I’ve ever heard in a video game. For example, “Life Will Change”. The best characters a game could ever have. And the best of all, the story. It can get very emotional, but it’ll keep you on your toes every time you play. The game has roughly 100 hours to beat, so you’re getting a game with a lot of content. Overall, the best game I’ve ever played.

Great game full of content, awesome art style and story, hundreds of hours worth of gameplay so if your not in a position to buy many games than this ones definitely worth your money
