This review contains spoilers
Incredibly derivative of the original Persona 5. The story is boring and predictable and goes from A to B without much excitement. The Phantom Thieves don't have many good interactions and feel flanderized, especially Yusuke. Toshiro and Erina feel shallow and they weren't anything too original. The human villains were unrealistically evil and the obligatory endgame-Persona-game-evil-god-villain is the worst one so far. Just a retread of Yaldabaoth but not even based in mythology. The theme of rebellion was shallow and failed to show how revolutions happen in reality and the "just stand up for yourself" mantra rings hollow. The art style is hideous with the arms in particular looking gross. The music is a worse version of the original game. The gameplay was pretty good, but Devil Survivor is a much better fusion of SMT and TRPGs in every way. Overall it completely failed to excite me and felt lazy and shallow.
