The version of Persona 5 that's actually for sale everywhere now, and the one worth reviewing on its own mechanical terms — a turn-based JRPG whose real engine isn't the combat or the style, it's a calendar that turns every evening into a resource-allocation decision with consequences that outlast the day.
9 / 10
A fantasy JRPG from the Persona 5 team that turns an election campaign into a turn-based RPG's core loop, built around a class system deep enough to carry the whole eighty-hour runtime and a calendar that never lets you forget the clock is running.
8.5 / 10
ATLUS rebuilds its genre-defining 2006 JRPG from the ground up with modern combat, full voice acting and a gorgeous new engine — a near-unanimous critical success undercut by a well-documented, still-discussed bait-and-switch over what the premium edition's DLC actually included.
8.5 / 10
A 2012 Vita classic finally reached PC in June 2020 and converted thousands of players who swore they didn't like JRPGs — but its near-universal acclaim sits alongside a years-long, well-documented crash bug that the storefront's own review sample keeps returning to.
8 / 10
ATLUS revives its cult PS2 detective-action RPG with a real-time combat overhaul, voice acting, and a long list of quality-of-life fixes, widely called one of the studio's finest remasters despite a persistent, unresolved crash bug.
7.5 / 10
Read review of RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army Review
The Phantom Thieves trade the Metaverse for a grid-based tactics spin-off, carrying over Baton Pass and weakness-exploiting combat into cover-based skirmishes. Sharp presentation and a near-unanimously praised soundtrack sit on top of a short campaign that most of its own reviewers say is priced for a much longer game.
6.5 / 10
Atlus' cyberpunk Shin Megami Tensei spin-off has real style and a likeable cast, but a Mixed Steam rating and a consistent thread of "the best content is behind a day-one paywall" keep it from matching its own pedigree.
