- Persona 5 Royal may well be the longest RPG I’ve experienced but that journey with the Phantom Thieves was one filled with so many countless highs it left me questioning if I should change that rule. It may have taken its sweet time but Persona 5 has finally made its way over to Switch and there’s little denying it was well worth the wait.
Ryan Janes · Jan 14, 2023 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Persona 5 Royal is the epitome of what constitutes a JRPG classic. It’s full of unadulterated moments of ecstasy. Literary prowess does a wicked job of nailing the mannerisms of teenagers. The addition of the voice talent did well to bring their kid-like demeanors to life.
FerniWrites · Nov 22, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - The outstanding soundtrack and visuals, as well as the top-notch combat system, social interactions, great characters, and voice acting, make Persona 5 Royal a JRPG masterpiece. This is a game that has little to no flaws, so everyone who loves the genre should make the time to play it.
Cosmin Vasile · Nov 21, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Persona 5 Royal is chock full of amazing music, beautiful set pieces, wonderful characters, and a compelling story that makes its length feel almost too short, despite the opposite being true. Royal is worthy of its shimmering title, and is sure to steal your heart!
Camrin Santchi · Oct 28, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Ultimately, Persona 5 Royal brought me back to the Phantom Thieves, and made me realize how much I missed them and their antics, and the beautiful world where their story occurs. Being able to play this journey on the go only sweetens the deal, and the experience is as immaculate as it was years ago—a masterful port of a masterpiece.
Santi Leguiza · Oct 18, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - The colorful and simple graphics age extremely well, and while the frame rate and resolution won't match the new HD versions, they are more than adequate for the sort of game that Persona 5 is. The title remains an absolute masterclass in how style and strong art design can create a more distinctive and memorable experience than the most realistic graphics on the market, and that carries through on the Switch, even if it sometimes appears less sharp.
Chris "Atom" DeAngelus · Oct 18, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Persona 5 Royal is one of the finest JRPGS Atlus has ever produced, and thanks to the visual and performance boost of the Xbox Series X|S, it is better than ever. While I do have minor misgivings about the game's pacing during the opening act and its difficulty quirks, it is nonetheless a must-play for any JRPG fan on Xbox.
Alexander Cope · Oct 18, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - It's largely appealing because of its portability, and that remains the major selling point in practice, with handheld mode performing admirably and still deftly displaying the swaths of color and charm that made P5R such a delight in the first place.
Cody Gravelle · Oct 18, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - One of the best RPGs of the last decade, perhaps of all-time, now looks and plays better than ever before. And while it hardly transforms the experience, the inclusion of a substantial amount of DLC sweetens the deal.
Richard Seagrave · Oct 17, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - From its captivating music and memorable story to its gorgeous style, every aspect of the game seems to mesh together and work incredibly well. Each piece builds up and compliments the next, until the game is justified in standing atop the RPG genre as royalty.
