Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easily one of the best RPG's in years. The art, the music, and the story are all top notch. Great buy if you're into RPGs.

I loved this game. The combat is smooth and fun. The music is phenomenal. Highly recommend this game if you like jrpg.

Let me start this review by saying I am in no way an authority when it comes to rpg games and especially jrpg’s but this game, oh man is it special! Everything about it oozes style from the anime stylization to the great acid jazzy music. I tend to like active battle systems but this game makes it so cool to play turn based! I have about 50+ hours invested and have heard it can last you well over 100! What are you waiting for? Get this game NOW!!!!

For those who have never played a Persona game before, think Pokemon, except with demons, which they call Personae in this game. Except that doesn't do the Persona 5 justice on it's own, since this game is a lot darker and harder than any Pokemon game you'll ever play. What I like the most about this game is its STYLE. The visuals are great, the music is great, and the characters are very likable. Not only that, but battles happen quickly now. It's a turn based RPG, but in battle, each button is assigned to a certain action, so you don't have to scroll through menus to do what you want. It makes battles happen quickly, which is nice since you'll be fighting lots of enemies in dungeons. The game also has a social aspect to it. You befriend certain characters, and what's cool is that they give you little perks when you go exploring dungeons. Overall, I am very satisfied with this game. It's a huge improvement over Persona 4, and it's one of the better RPGs to come out recently, since it puts you in control of all the action.

This game is seriously beautiful. The gameplay and soundtrack made this game a 120 hours well spent.

I bought this game for a friend and this was the cheapest I could get the game. It shipped quick and the game itself is absolutely magnificent. I downloaded the game myself and it has such a good story, interest gameplay, and astonishing music. I highly recommend.

I waited for this game for nearly 4 years after playing Persona 4 Golden on the Vita, and I know many people who waited longer since the original Persona 4 came out on the PS2 nearly a decade ago. The wait was so worth it. Persona 5 fixes almost every issue from Persona 4 Golden and adds a lot more to the table along with a completely new story, characters, acid jazz OST, and more. It took me about 135-140 hours to finish the story and it went by in a flash. I know there are others who finished the game in about 90 or so and I've also seen people who went up into the 180 range. I feel like I can recommend it to anyone looking for something new to try out, those who wish for an immersive game, and especially JRPG fans. I was able to get a friend who had never played a JRPG and hated anime to play this and he absolutely loves the game so far. The game does have a few flaws but they are very minuscule and don't hamper the game or experience at all. Do yourself a favor and get this game

I don’t usually play turn based RPG’s or videos games with a heavy Japanese influence. This game however, has such a strong story that I had to play all the way through. If you have a Pokémon stadium sized hole in your heart the combat system will fill it. And if you ever wanted to simulate being a mysterious but well liked Japanese student you get to do that too! It seems like it doesn’t make sense but I promise it does.

I have not finished the game yet as there are 100+ hours of gameplay based on other reviews, but it's not like I want to finish the game either. The settings and backgrounds are so detailed; it is amazing how down-to-the bones the game designers paid attention. Character design is also A1. Grab the game as soon as you can, you will not be disappointed with the latest masterpiece of the Persona series!

Words cannot describe how I feel about this game, other than it's the best PS4 game I have ever played. Part of it has to do because Pokemon was a HUGE part of my life growing up and still is. This game has certain similarities with Pokemon. You capture different Personas, train them, fuse them together to make them stronger. I've never played any of the other persona game but now I definitely will!

Even if you're not a fan of turn based combat (I'm not) or the tired Japanese high school students save the world type story, there's enough in Persona 5 to keep a person interested for a long time (nearly 100 hours if How Long To Beat can be believed). The soundtrack is incredible at all times with some seriously funky jams and the art style is amazing. Every single piece of screen real estate has something interesting and visually stimulating (the menus especially) and everything jumps out at you screaming for attention with lovingly detailed zany comic book/manga style graphics and cartoony sound effects. The high school life simulator portions can get a bit boring, but the characters are very interesting and honestly I'd say it's worth playing for the music, visuals and animations alone. Where else are you going to break into a castle and fight a very bored looking demon floating around on a toilet?

New comer to the series and game looks and plays great. Loads to explore and enjoy

The style and gameplay are very unique. Like any turn-based RPG, at times it can feel repetitive, but the gameplay is almost always fun and the story and dialogue are great. Also tons of content, so you definitely get a lot of gameplay out of your money.

This is hands down one of my favorite games. The story is great, the gameplay seems simple but is satisfyingly complex. It’s literally one of the only game soundtracks I’ll listen to in free time. Definitely pick this up.

Ones of the best games I’ve played recently. Amazing story, soundtrack, visuals, and mechanics. It really is the whole package. I highly recommend to anyone, even if they’ve never experienced a Persona game before.

fun, loved it. well worth he price. Would recommend it to any gamer

Everything about this game is amazing, the art, music, gameplay.

This game is incredible. It's got a compelling story and has so many wonderful characters that I love a whole lot. And the ones I hate, I love to hate. It's so well written and so refreshing. I've clocked about 65 hours in it so far and am still going strong in the story. This is probably my favorite Persona/Shin Megami Tensei game. Amazing.

Many modern gamers find turn based combat to be boring, but this game improves the formula that its predecessors created. The story and music are top quality, as well. I would consider this the best game in the Persona series.

Simply put: Persona 5 has set a new bar for the JRPG genre. It has everything you want: interesting characters, addicting combat, a peculiar story & a soundtrack that’s one of the best you’ll ever hear.
