Even though you don’t know the characters well or understand where the plot is going, you can feel the weight behind the narrative like hundreds of pages waiting to be read. As new threads and mechanics are introduced, that depth and sense of intent persist, and Persona 5 takes the requisite time to do its many ambitions justice. The result is an uncommonly complex and satisfying RPG in terms of both story and gameplay, and when you factor in its impeccable stylishness, Persona 5 is hard to put down.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gameinformer.com\u002Fgames\u002Fpersona_5\u002Fb\u002Fplaystation4\u002Farchive\u002F2017\u002F03\u002F29\u002Fpersona-5-review-game-informer.aspx","9.25\u002F10",92.5,{"id":336,"author":337,"outlet":340,"summary":345,"review_url":346,"review_date":233,"original_score":154,"normalized_score":320},144328,{"id":338,"name":339},12338,"Leif Rey Bornales",{"id":341,"logo":342,"name":343,"website_url":344,"score_format":54},149,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fsirus-gaming-logo.png","Sirus Gaming","https:\u002F\u002Fsirusgaming.com\u002F","Overall, Persona 5 has really captured my heart. With 70+ hours of gaming, I haven’t had this much fun since the last Persona game. I will definitely keep playing it and will even play it into the New Game+. The New Game Plus allows you to keep certain items that you have gotten from the game but it resets your relationship meter with the characters among other things. If you are into old school JRPG, this is definitely the game you have been waiting for. At its price point the game is totally worth it and even more. I am even willing to spend for this game’s DLC. It’s just that good. Now let me get back to the game and see if I can pass this school exam.","https:\u002F\u002Fsirusgaming.com\u002Fpersona-5-review\u002F",{"id":348,"author":349,"outlet":352,"summary":357,"review_url":358,"review_date":359,"original_score":360,"normalized_score":87},145711,{"id":350,"name":351},12409,"James Berich",{"id":353,"logo":354,"name":355,"website_url":356,"score_format":54},150,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fpress-start-logo.jpg","Press Start","https:\u002F\u002Fpress-start.com.au\u002F","Persona 5 is one of the best role playing games that I’ve played in years.
