Persona 5 Royal is an unforgettable experience!

Everything about it is so well made. So stylish and well executed. My favourite part is the relatable, believable characters and the captivating story. It's quite a journey with a lot of symbolism, mature themes, surprises and twists. The combat is solid and satisfying. The dungeons are diverse, unique and with interesting puzzles. The life sim part is interesting and surprisingly deep. The art-style is superb and the music easily one of the best ost ever made for a video game.

I never played a Persona game before, now I am hungry for more.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is an extraordinary game in every way.

There is immense detail in everything. From start to finish you are immersed in the 19th century of the US following an outlaw gang. You will end up caring for almost each one of the gang members. The story keeps a high standard throughout the game without losing focus or becoming tedious. The epilogue is a love letter to the previous game and ties up the storyline nicely. The protagonist is very relatable. He tried his best.

The World is astonishing. NPCs, wildlife, Cities, biomes are all exceptionally crafted. Sent Denis at night is easily one of the most beautiful period cities ever created. The music reinforces the narrative delivering some of the best pieces in video games. Everything in the game is meticulously well placed. The bar is too high for every other open-world game out there.

One of the best games I have ever played.

Deflect, Deflect, Deflect, Deflect, Dodge, Deflect, Deflect. BOOM. Deathblow.

Amazing combat, both in design and execution. Tight controls, with great responsiveness. Interesting skills and tools offering a lot of variation in combat. Super aggressive bosses providing little room to respond. This is a heavy reflexes dependent game, you cannot spam attacks blindly nor grind your way through. Every fight feels like a dance and you have to be synced with your opponent in order to avoid punishment and find an opening. Oh and that sweet feeling when you learn from your mistakes and have overcome your rival is so rewarding, until the next fight.

Level design is good, the majority of the areas is connected, though still not reaching the greatness of Dark Souls 1 vertical design. Swimming is a new type of exploration, some vistas are stunning. Animation is more fluid and natural. The Story is decent, but not that compelling.

All in all, another great game from From Software delivering exceptional combat and reinforcing other areas such as level design, animation and narrative. Well done. I had such a great time!

Great game, interesting story mode, nice visuals, x-ray moves unbalance the fight but who cares when you can perform fatalities.
The only thing I missed is the interactive arenas. In this game there are no death traps nor falling from stage into spikes, everything is flat. Also multiplayer mode is laaagggy.
