Underbugeted musou game with a great idea but a lot of ends that needed polishing. Difficulty is inconsistently unbalanced even on Easy with some bosses being very easy and some being complete damage sponges. Pacing is off the walls with no breather room, which is understandable for a musou game, but not for a Persona title. Despite some pacing issues, the writing is almost on the level of the original and the new characters fit just right in this game and bring some great fun to the already existing cast. The 60FPS (despite anti-aliasing bring absent) is a treat to look at while playing such fast paced action. I also found myself severely missing some life sim gameplay. Without the life sim aspects, this game personally feels rushed as it tries to cram all forms of development in single scene nights that go by quick or in the Jails themselves. Also, and small nitpick, most of the time you're not in a hub world, characters are standing on a flat backdrop with lazy trickery to make it seem like they're in an actual room. It's very noticeable that most of the budget at the time was put towards Royal since they were in development together. The gameplay is super fun when the difficulty isn't a hinderence and l will give it that, it's an excellent blend of both worlds at the right moments. I'd play another attempt at Persona musou, but I would love them to add some more budget and fix some of these issues, as it really added some frustration to my playthrough. If you want a great Persona 5 sequel and you can deal with gameplay frustration, go for it, because this is an amazing sequel in terms of story and is at times better written than the original.
