The game previously launched on PlayStation 4. At that time, our Kai Powell rated it 8.7 out of 10:
Now that I’ve spent 180 hours and can put my thoughts on paper, would I consider Persona 5 Royal to be an essential treasure on the PlayStation 4? The short answer is yes, but with a big caveat. On its own, the new semester at Shujin Academy isn’t worth the $60 price tag alone, and while the gameplay has been overhauled to be a little bit more open ended with how you can spend your time, that’s still a major time investment you’ll have to spend to reach the new story. If you’ve never played Persona 5 before, then snatching up a copy of Persona 5 Royal is simply the best way to play this story. However, if you’ve already spent one year wearing the mask already, you might need to have a small change in your cognition to see whether or not it’s worth a second playthrough.
Persona 5 Royal is the definitive version of the Phantom Thieves’ rise to infamy; however, Atlus asks a huge commitment of time from the player to see what’s new.
