Persona 4 Golden is a great game about use your Personas collection (or Demons if you play Shin Megami Tensei) fighting Shadows in Collective Unconscious. The game isn't shying away from heavy theme by looking at Japanese people conscious and unconscious mind through their Television Culture. By using Television as a symbol, the game is all about how people look and think about themselves and other people, but like many other JRPGs story, this is also a game about friendship, family and love.
-------------------------------------------
+ A loveable JRPG casts to explore deeply those main theme of the game.
+ Not shy away from heavy theme, critique Japan Culture itself.
+ A decent PC port, 1080p render, 60 fps, customize difficulty, etc.
+ Good mod supported!
+ A really good turn-based combat. I'm not a really big fan of JRPGs turn-based combat and have some bad experiment with some JRPG games like Pokemon series or Final Fantasy XIII. But Persona series alone and Megaten in general know to make a turn-based combat works. By using Press turn system (hit enemy weakness or critical them and you get another turn), the game encourages players keep recruit and fusion new Persona to get better in the game. All good Personas is locked behind other characters Social Links, and you must work for it.
+ An unique game stucture: Having time slots and deadlines, you must manage your time to spend. You might spend time for working to get better social stats, you might spend it for characters Social Links or you might spend it for dungeon to get better at combat level and find new Personas to fight Shadows. USE YOUR TIME SLOTS WISELY BECAUSE LIFE IS SHORT!!
-------------------------------------------

However, it is my least favorite game in Persona series because how the game handles its theme is really clunky, and the "Golden" content made it worse.
-------------------------------------------
- Not having the Anime cutscenes improved (can be improve with mods)
- The UI is a bit unfriendly with Persona 5 players (again, can be improve with mods)
- REAL PERSONA USERS USE A CONTROLLER. Quite unfriendly with keyboard player, even they have customization in the settings.
- Social Links system feels like these characters live in their own bubbles. Their story, even though is thematically, but it isn’t connect to the game’s grand narrative. And the harem dating sim made this worse, undermine the game’s themes.
- Yu Narukami isn’t a Chad!!
- The Dungeons is better than Tartarus in Persona 3, however is still boring as hell if you are a bit overlevled. I can’t expect much from a PS2/PS Vita game.
- The game can delete Marie and I don’t even care one bit about her. I think Marie‘s story is respesenting dark past of Japan, specially Japan in WWII , but the way the game told her story is terrible and distant with the main theme of the game. She is just another waifu you can romance to satisfied your sad real life romance. Please Atlus, stop making an OG Persona game, and then remastered it to add boring ass content and waifu into your games.
- Lame ass 5$ bonus artwork and OSTs (they don't even have good bitrate for those tracks)
-------------------------------------------
Even though, this is my least favorite game in the series, has a few miss step, Persona 4 Golden is still a great JRPG game to play and has affordable price. Sale or no sale, buy it! You will have a great time with it.
