What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The story fails to make me feel attached enough to care about what happens near the end, and a majority of the main cast aren't even present!
Shin Megami Tensei 5 Vengeance is a masterclass in gameplay.
Great sound quality and choice of music and such
Great graphics
I played on Steam Deck with FPS display on all the time and there are some frame drops to below 30fps but not noticeable during gameplay.
