I don't think it captivated me with slick polish to most every system like persona 5 royal did, but it certainly captured me with the characters and their friendship far more than i was expecting. The music, the overworld combat, dungeon exploration and daily schedule life are really fun and jam packed with stuff to do and learn. I'd unironically suggest either keeping a notebook or a steam guide on hand just to try and remember it all if you are not able to binge the game and remember it all that way.

Generally the things that detracted from my experience the most are the god awful default keybindings and mouse settings, the extremely short supply of MP until you get to the endgame and the list of daily tasks you do every day in order to succeed in the game. (i.e wake up and take a shower for exp, and have that plus the other stuff tack on a minute or two of breaking your flow of playing). I also noticed many model clipping things even in important cutscenes, the most frequent being a fellow you'll meet with large ears clipping into their outfit quite often.


Regardless I do think all of that is worth looking past for an extremely solid entry into atlas' portfolio of games if you are a massive fan of their works. definitely worth picking up the persona 5 royal/metaphor bundle i see on the store page right now if you are a fan of rpgs or looking to become one.
