The main one, though, is the revelation that the villains of this game, or “Jail Rulers,” are horrifically more tragic figures than their universally evil predecessors. This is partially due to the two newest characters being just as enthralling and charming as the squad we’ve assumedly spent hundreds of previous hours with. With such a refreshingly uplifting premise from the jump, not even the introduction of the new distortions in the shadowy Metaverse can bring it down. These teenagers have literally been to hell and back and all they want is to make time for their friends. Persona 5 Strikersįollowing the main game(s) and the emotional turmoil that all the Phantom Thieves and their confidants went through, seeing them here on a cross-country summer vacation to just be together and be friends one last time doesn’t just make for a good excuse for another game, but it feels earned. For starters, it’s arguable the reason people keep coming back to Persona 5 is their attachment to the characters. The gameplay, while unique, does get repetitive as all Warriors-style games tend to, but what the game does best is display just how much heart it has – fitting, for the name of your squad being the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. That is to say despite the completeness of Persona 5, this spin-off somehow finds a way to add more to the mythos rather than just resting on the brand’s laurels. While the screen may be cluttered at times and you’ll never be at a loss for information of what’s going on, the game maintains the signature Persona style and poppin’ visuals, to go along with an absolute banger soundtrack with several electro rock remixes of the already iconic P5 jukebox.ĭare I say, this game’s versions of “Keeper of Lust” and “Last Surprise” might be even better than the originals. The game rests on the initially odd premise of applying the 1-vs-100 signature “Warriors” style games with the characters and world of the JRPG breakout hit Persona 5. But even beyond its obvious personal appeal, Persona 5 Strikers is a wonderfully beautiful game with so much to say. So when the two not only decide to have a spin-off child, but also a spin-off child that is a full-blown sequel/finale to the entire Persona 5 saga, to say I was delighted is an absolute understatement. My first playthrough of Persona 5 Royal is probably my favorite video game experience ever and Dynasty Warriors is undisputedly my favorite video game guilty pleasure franchise of all time. To celebrate this collection of sun rotations, we’re looking at the best games of 2021.
