Fun sequel to Persona 5 with great new characters (Zenkichi and his daughter) and more much needed screentime for characters like Haru. Overall plot is a rehash, but it fills that hole of wanting more after finishing Persona 5.

Gameplay is ok but becomes frustrating and annoying after most of the skills have been unlocked. I end up just cheesing bosses with Jokers gun (with infinite ammo) at long range rather than risk dying 100 times in a row. Admittedly, this is likely me just being terrible at the Musou genre and real time combat in general. It's a shame as it's this gameplay in the lategame that caused me to shelf the game.

If you enjoyed Persona 5 and like real time combat I would highly recommend; otherwise, if you just enjoyed Persona 5, I would recommend just playing with the mindset to see the story (as trying to do anything more will likely kill your enjoyment). You shouldn't be dissapointed by the new additions and seeing more of the Theives.
