a simple review cannot do justice to the excitement so frequently present within a first playthrough. the story is interesting, fun and very well told through each character met across the in game year (and i figured out the twist myself ill have tou know). these characters are all interesting too, with each social link very well conveying theyre traumas and furthering development even outside of the main story. my favourite was for sure yusuke (my sweet prince), but akechi probably would have won out if he was more prevalent. the combat is incredible, both in gameplay and visuals. every all out finisher animation is so impressive and befitting of the respective party member. the palaces are all well designed and offer insight into each villain, and the shadow designs are always incredibly cool. i only have a few very minor nitpicks. first, okumuras boss fight is very weak gameplay wise - not very exciting. second, romancing confidants doesnt affect any scenes in the main story, which is dissappointing because it can and has been done well in other games before. third, dating adults. its a little weird. overall, Persona 5 Royal is one of my favourite games i have had the pleasure of experiencing, and i am excited to play through future entries into the series. and its very red.

holy gas never has a game surprised me so much. leshys inscryption - peak, maybe my favourite. original inscryption- pretty basic, weird, but really cool. P03's inscryption - i hate that guy but it was really fun grimora's inscryption would have been so fun. sad it didnt get much time. KILL magnificus. crazy lore in the arg, but a good surface level is told through the game itself, which makes it very accessible. KILL magnificus. genuine masterpiece

first of all, the base game the gameplay is fairly basic: find fish, time inputs, sell fish. its a good kind of simple though - never gets boring. the quests also make the game much more interesting and the story, while pretty simple, was really cool and interesting. that being said, this definitely isnt a story focused game. not a bad thing. the fish designs are awesome. theres three headed fish, lumpy fish, void fish and even a hollow knight reference (neat). catching every abberation (while not necessary) would have made this gane a slog, but the addition of the atrophy ability made it infinitely easier. theres also dlc. the blackstone key feels stupid. its literally two mid items and thats it, but i think its free with the mobile version which is cool. as for other versions, its way overpriced for what took about 2 seconds. the pale reach was very cool. the quests were super basic in story but still fun, and the fish were really cool. i like how they named the common ice fish icefish. iron rig was peak. all the fish were, as per, super cool; the progression felt very natural, maybe even better than the base game; the story was interesting and, while more prevelant, still unobtrusive. my only nitpicks were that the crates were a little annoying to gather and the final fish was stupid to catch: i was dropping bait randomly for half an hour before realising it was guaranteed under the rig. minor nitpicks though. overall fun to 100% but kind of brainless. i recommend a YouTube video in the background.

fun, short, simple game. really easy but it was quick enough to get through that it wasnt a slog. didnt overstay its welcome, easy to 100% decent game
