PERHAPS THE BEST THING PERSONA 5 DOES IS THE BUILDUP AND HYPE LEADING UP TO THE CALLING CARD THEN THE ACTUAL BOSS BATTLE DEPENDING ON WHICH CAN FEEL LIKE THE SUPERBOWL x50!
AM USUALLY SPOT-ON WITH INSTINCTS (I DON'T HAVE A RHYME OR REASON BUT ALMOST ALWAYS PRE-GAME RELEASE HYPE VS. ACTUAL QUALITY OF GAME IS NEGATIVELY RELATED- THIS WORKS 90%+ OF THE TIME) BUT WITH FF7R AND P5STRIKERS WAS VERY VERY WRONG: THEY WERE EXTREMELY- IN FACT 2 OF THE BEST GAMES EVER PLAYED WITH THE FORMER TAKING GOTY 2020 (BEATING OUT P5ROYAL BY ||)
SOUNDTRACKS ARE MAYBE THE BEST AND MOST IMMERSIVE I CAN THINK OF AND IT DID A FAR BETTER JOB WITH THE EXHAUSTION-INDUCING ENDLESS DOWN-TIME MOUTH-FLAPPING THAT P5R RAN INTO, BUT IT DID IT A BIT TOO MUCH REMOVING DEPTH OF A STORYLINE THAT P5ROYAL HAD
BUT ALL IN ALL: EXTREMELY IMPRESSED AND I THINK I GAVE IT A 9.2/10!
