After seeing reviews for this game I was a little hesitant to purchase day one and was thinking to wait for a sale, but I'm glad I didn't wait. This game is a lot better than I expected, the story and characters get you right away, and the turn based combat is really scratching that classic jrpg itch. A lot of the new jrpgs are action based and its good to see a major game go back to turn base for change. The game runs perfect and looks beautiful on PS5. Also comes with some cool collectors cards inside the game case which is nice to see. If you are a veteran to jrpgs I recommend playing it in hard mode for a respectable challenge, I feel like normal mode was a little too easy for a Soul Hackers/SMT game.

The game is good. It might just be me, but the design of the game could have been better. Sometimes I feel like it wasn't made with any soul and they just put it out as is. Considering the DLC content that you have to buy and the updates that should have been in the game from Day 1... I might be right.

Love ATLUS games. This sequel is no different. I wish I was able to play the first game (don’t have the system for it) but what I can tell you is the story isn’t too bad and the music is pretty good too.

Soul Hackers is not Persona… especially not Persona 5 for all of the new fans out there that experienced the series with 5 first. Don’t go into this expecting Persona 5 levels of character interaction, growth or stylized gameplay. With that being said what is here for you to enjoy is a JRPG set in the same genre that Persona exists in. You will see familiar demons, you will experience references to other games in the genre like SMT and Persona of course but that’s where the relationship ends. The main character is likable and the story is mildly entertaining. I’d suggest picking this up if you’re wildly curious about offshoot games set in the same universe as Persona.

I missed out on playing the original, but this sequel is a surprisingly good game. Kind of reminds me of Persona (which is a great game btw). About 20 hours in and loving the story. Combat could get a little repetitive, but I think the story more than makes up for it. Another well done Atlus title.

Totally awesome story and aesthetic/style. Superb music. Great voice acting/writing. Classic Megami Tensei formula in a beautiful new package that evokes elements and feelings from the greatest classic JRPGs of all time. Enthralling work of art, and fun. Art cards with physical copy are very nice.

I'm a big fan of JRPGs in general and any Shin Megami Tensei title is going to be a winner in my book. This game only continues that trend and is a solid play for fa s like me.

This game is basically a niche game in a niche genre. The original Soul Hackers on the Sega Saturn had its fans, but was not particularly popular. The same can be said about this game. However, like the prequel, it has potential to become a hidden gem/or a cult classic years from now. The game is a basic dungeon crawler with cliched storyline about people who faced betrayal working together. If you like a dungeon crawler with cyberpunk/occult themes, you may like it. However, this type of games were done better before. even by the same publisher.

Having played a little of this game on Xbox Game Pass, and having caught this on a sale on PS5, it is a great game. Everything from the games visuals to the gameplay is very fluid.

This game was really fun to me to the put where I went back to playing it to get more trophies. If you like anime and want turn based combat, here’s another one to try.
