"tilt stick forward and hold/tap x to pretend you are playing a game" the movie
especially a shame that most of the game is dumbed down pseudo cutscenes here because unlike other movie games underneath the slog there is an actual good and a heavily detailed crafted game

my favorite streamers Asmongold and Tectone recommended this so I gave it a try and it's so awesome !!

-everything (and I mean everything (writing, characters, designs, dungeons, gameplay etc)) about it feels like a uninspired meh fangame
-atlus west had 1 major job, translate content, failed at it, "more coming soon!" pop up BEFORE the second boss when korea has the third castle and boss already?
-extreme gacha limitations (wow I can do 5 hangout events a day (y'know, half the thing persona is known for) and like 4-6 upgrade material gathering (which is barely enough to level up 1 aspect of a character), how generous)
-ridiculous pricing, "[character] awakening set" after you unlock them for 15€ when persona 5 royal (on sale) is 23,99€ (or persona 4 golden on sale is 9,99€), laughable

overall it's not worth your time, only play this game if you have already played through the other persona games and really really want more

this is just a walking sim with forced so wacky xd disingenuous memes constantly, doesn't deserve the hype

it's a alright sidegrade but I wouldn't call it THE "ultimate" version (not necessarily a bad version either), would recommend giving the fes ps2 version a try first because all the extra flash has made it way too easy even with the attempts of rebalancing

I really liked the part where you have to fiddle with third party community made patches (when the steam deck rating is just a yellow dot (meaning it should work with some gameplay minor issues)), not because the game is old and new OS's lack official support or proton update borked it or something like that but because the required third party launcher that comes with it is out of date and won't work if you don't fix it

a brilliant mix of slice of life and yakuzer action, a worthy successor to the yakuza trilogy

when the after credit scene rolled with icon of sin saying "well now, it is time for the eternal doom by iconic sins"
I knew that I just experienced a masterpiece and clapped

I like the part in the game where a cult was hunting a man for supposedly not releasing his work on the right day, but if you venture into the quest slightly it turns out that the cult was dumb and forgot time zones exists and in the mans time zone it was still released on the right day

you know how someone makes something alright, it's not perfect but servicable and then changes bit by bit to the point it's not the same thing you used to like? that's ow2
also holy ♥♥♥♥ the monetization is awful now, I'm fine with cosmetics being paid (a bit overpriced but whatever) but gameplay being locked behind a paywall (or hours long grindwall if you want to try out the new heroes)? cringe especially since the game wants you to counter pick
