A fantastic Persona experience that elevates the series to the modern era. The build up makes for quite the launch, but just didn't quite stick the landing.

It starts off well, but I've found to just not be interested in these characters. I really want to like this game, I really do, but there's something about the storyline that isn't clicking with me.

At one point, this was one of my recommended Sims to race. Now? It's just too dated with a company that just sketch as hell.

This was one of the most uninspired games I've ever played.

For a simple game mechanically, this is a very narratively complex game. The storyline absolutely grips you for the entire time you play through, although there are times in which the traversal gets to feel more like added filler vs just going from story beat to story beat.

It's an absolute must play.

Ok, here me out.

You have:
Hard hitting soundtrack

Players that don't match their actual ethnicity

They used to put stickem on their hands to catch those balls, now they got those gloves

Cheat codes that made you frog jump and ricochet off the sidelines

A stadium in a Cereal Bowl

It's peak "ok, surface level, serious football game. Dive in? Absolutely bat shit insane"

The game that taught me that law and chaos weren't just good and evil. A fantastic mainline game (completed on Law route initially, replay necessary for neutral)

The epitome of atmospheric gaming. Great soundtrack, great, difficult combat, great world building. Best intro movie of the franchise too.

Coming into this later on in life didn't quite have the impact on me as others have, but still a fantastic game. The middle part before the climax got a bit monotonous but damn the payoff was worth it.

The definitive simulation racing experience.

Decent gameplay loop, but just never stuck with me.

One of the best games ever made, once they patched it. PS3 version had some hiccups but was an overall fantastic RPG, and the best Fallout game out still.

Much better gameplay loop, set up some difficult morality choices, but in the end flopped on the landing.
