Definitely one of the more unique spinoff ideas for Persona. Wasn't expecting to like it pre-launch, but once I got to finally play it, I loved it. The gameplay is addicting, and the story is fantastically written. While the music doesn't quite hit the peaks of other Persona games, it is still a very memorable soundtrack, with quite a few bangers.
As for negatives, the game is extremely easy on Normal mode. Though, that is in part due to liberal use of the Undo feature, even without it, the game is fairly easy. Furthermore, the game feels a little "low budget" at times, and is very linear. However, these are minor flaws on an otherwise amazing game.

It's more time with the Persona 5 gang! Hurray!
That's pretty much my feeling on this game. It was a nice introduction to tactical role-playing games, and I really did not mind the artstyle as much as some seemed to.
But while 'Persona 5: Strikers' was that best kind of spinoff where the developers both gave me more Phantom Thieves time and provided a great standalone gaming experience, this game really only did the former. That's fine for a spinoff, I guess, but 'Strikers' showed me that a P5 spinoff can be so much better.
A side note: I played this on the Switch, and the game felt very well suited for that platform.
