Why players love itThings to know
67% of themes are praise33% are divided0% are complaints
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
165 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Engaging story that will intrigue you from the start and keep you playing through its 50+ hour runtime.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
69 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay is divided into social interactions and actual sweeps of dungeons with turn-based combat, and the strength of your social links with friends and the people of Inaba affects not only completion of the story for every character, but also advantages of Personas that will be summoned by your protagonist.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
67 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The social links in this game are some of the best in the entire series, and the official soundtrack is a Shoji Meguro masterclass.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But a new coat of paint, and an art style that has more realistic character models compared to the Chibi ones in this game (which was original a PS VITA title) should do wonders for the remake.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Runs great on Steam Deck.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The main menu tracks for both the original and Golden are phenomenal, and the same goes for the rest of the OST.
