I adore this game from start to finish. Persona 5 Royal is an absolutely masterpiece, not just in it's own genre, but for gaming as a whole. A game that starts with a bang, and ends with one too. The middle of story is often thought to be weak when compared to it's standout moments, but the peaks of the story or more than enough to outweigh it's valleys. Atlus has absolutely nailed how to make fun and engaging turn-based combat, using their tried and true spin on their press-turn combat system, with usage of their one more! combat system. While the gameplay isn't particularly challenging, it still is a great time. All it's flaws are very present, however, it seems that when the final arc of the game is reached (the third semester) all of those flaws seem to wash away. The third semester of Persona 5 Royal is a masterclass in story-telling, gameplay, and the expression of it's themes. I highly recommend Persona 5 Royal. It's peak fiction.
