A little lackluster in comparison to mainline SMT or Persona. Still, it’s playable. Ringo is funny.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 was excited for this game because I did dig the aesthetic it had, but also because it did seem like they were going to fix all the problems I had with the first Soul Hacker, and they sure did!
Top 3 Atlus games for me, really recommend it.

Graphically the game is nice to see on ps5. Isn’t the best looking thing out there but at the right price it’s worth the pick up.

Story is interesting enough but the dungeon designs and variety are a bit on the bland side. If you like persona for its combat then this game is for you.

I understand the history of these games. The demon thing is a little cringe. Aside from that… it can be a pretty enjoyable game.
Some of the level designs looks poorly done and random enemy attacks can be very frustrating/annoying
It’s definitely a good game. It does have flaws and i like i said the demon thing is a little played out.
Don’t regret the purchase. The cards the game comes with are awesome btw
I love the strategy that turn based games bring… this game does a good job of that. The lead character is nice to look at and make hours of playing the game fly by

The game has an engaging story and the gameplay is excellent as expected from Atlus' JRPG. Performance of the PS5 is particular solid.

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.

A True Soul Hackers Sequel?

Its an okay game, I disagree with adding in the Soul Hackers moniker to the title as without a few minor references it really doesn't do that title justice.
The combat is good, the demons look great, the dungeons are so meandering and bad, but overall a decent package and a good game to help continue supporting the SMT devs

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.

From all the mixed reviews out there i had my reservations on this title. But $15.00 i can get over if it's a terrible game. 10 hours in and i have to admit it's better than i thought.

A great modern old school JRPG. If you are a fan of Persona 5, you will be a fan of this. It is very much inspired by Persona. I was actually surprised this felt more like a Persona games then a Shin Megami Tensei game. Also the free collectable cards you get are very high quality. Very happy with my purchase!

Relatively simple, but great RPG, the main party are all fun and the gameplay serves its purpose while still being stylish. Some monotony in some dungeons, but overall still very good
