Picked this up after playing through Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal & Strikers. After getting lost on my first playthrough, I picked it up again after 2 years and worked away at it for just under 2 months.

I played the Maniax Chronicle version where Raidou Kuzunoha appears, and got the Freedom Ending. For my first mainline SMT game, this was pretty fun! The music is great (even though it's compressed), the Press Turn system is fun, and I went all the way to recruiting Raidou and getting the Masakados magatama.

I like the aesthetic of the dungeons, even if some of them were annoying mechanically, like Amala Network's final visit, some of the Labyrinth of Amala, and Tower of Kagutsuchi 2 and 3.

I definitely want to play some more RPGs, especially Megami Tensei stuff, probably starting with the Raidou games.
