Persona 5 Royal could easily have been bad. There are many boring 100 hour long RPGs out there. And with the abundance of bad anime games praying on anime fans to play, this could have been a drastic failure. But it isn’t. Instead, we have a creative game with a gripping story and unique characters. Igor and Morgana are my favorites. Live through the tragic tale of how Joker Batman gets sued and tries to fit into society with a criminal record all the while he has to deal with this strange app on his phone that teleports him to worlds of other people's hearts desires. The music is fantastic. Last Surprise, Beneath the Mask, and Triumph are standouts. Even though I am only a couple hours in, I can tell this is a fantastic game. The game looks its best during 2D hand-animated anime cutscenes.
