The Review
Persona 5 Royal is the most stylish game ever made. Every menu, every transition, every battle animation drips with graphic design flair that no other game has matched. Beneath the style is a 100-plus-hour JRPG about social rebellion, personal growth, and the power of community. The Confidant system makes you care about every character in Shibuya, and the turn-based combat is snappy enough to sustain the marathon runtime. Royal's added semester provides one of the best story arcs in the entire Persona series.
Fun Fact
The game's UI was designed by a single graphic designer at Atlus who had never worked on a video game before — only print and advertising.
