I finally finished persona 5 strikers, this really dragged for me!
Some great new phantom thieves, and the first adult persona user!
Unfortunately, so much of the game is such a retread that doesn't land as compellingly the second time around. Some neat translations of the persona turn based mechanics into a scramble sort of game, as well as some great road trip and character moments. The palace designs didn't feel as dynamic, and the whole time I felt in an uncanny valley sort of place with these characters.
I did play on easy to try and minimize the numbers of grindy hours, mostly worked.
Worst addition? leveling up personas for fusions
Best addition? seeing other locales, the phantommobile
