An interesting twist on the typical Persona formula. The switch from turn-based combat to hack-and-slash makes fights more interesting, but still leaves something to be desired. The story is unabashedly a rehash of the original Persona 5, making the conflict very uninteresting. However, the two new party members are very well done and enjoyable. Of course, style and polish are the forte of the game. Everything from finisher animations to menu UI is a pleasure to experience. Persona 5 fans will certainly enjoy this spinoff, but fans looking for more substance may be disappointed.
