They're gonna hate me for this one, but it's my second favourite Persona game. It's Persona 5 but perfected.

I feel that Persona 5 Strikers best benefit is being a sequel. We don't have to establish any core ideas because Persona 5 already happened. The game dedicates screen time to characters that didn't get enough, like holy shit Haru gets a whole arc that isn't robbed by Morgana??? All of the characters are incredibly fun to use in combat, except for Joker (at least I thought so). The story feels a bit derivative, but I don't mind that. The experience is very simple and fun, its your friends whom you're already acquainted with going on a silly little road trip. I feel like this setting, as well as the action combat is just much more fitting for Persona 5.

oh also Sophia is one of the cutest fucking characters I've ever seen I love and adore her so much please please please Atlus find a way to use her again
