I enjoyed Persona 5 for the most part, and the same is true here. The new systems in Royal add more depth to the Persona gameplay but if you play your cards right and fuse smart the game (besides one particular boss) is an absolute breeze. If power fantasies are your thing the last 20 or so hours of Royal felt like a total power trip so have at it and enjoy yourself. Persona games tend to be divisive when it comes to their stories but I hope the new additions like Persona Traits do return because a Persona game designed from the start with those in mind could create a Persona more fun than any before it regardless of whether or not it's story and characters prove as contentious as the other entries.
