Persona 5, The Cool Game That Made RPGs Awesome Again
Back in 2017, video games needed a hero. Role-playing games (RPGs) were kind of in a tough spot, with people thinking they were old-fashioned. Then along came Persona 5, a game that wasn't an instant hit but ended up selling over 10 million copies worldwide. Turns out, good things take time!
The RPG Problem:
Imagine RPGs as a type of game, and in 2017, people were getting a bit bored with them. They said turn-based RPGs were old-fashioned and not cool anymore. But Persona 5 said, "Hold my controller."
Cool Teens in Tokyo:
What makes Persona 5 cool? It's set in today's Tokyo, and you play as a group of really cool high school students who turn into superhero-like Phantom Thieves at night. They summon powerful creatures called Personas to fight bad stuff in weird places called Palaces.
Why People Love It:
People fell in love with Persona 5 because it looks super cool. In a time when games were all about looking real, Persona 5 stood out with its awesome style. The fighting was different, too – quick and special. Critics loved it, and it got a super high score of 93 on Metacritic. Not bad for a game people thought was past its prime!
Getting Even Cooler:
After Persona 5's success, they made it even better with Persona 5 Royal. It's like the deluxe version that came out in 2020 and reached even more game consoles in 2022. And guess what? The coolness didn't stop there. Persona 5 had its own TV show, dancing game, action game, and even joined Super Smash Bros. Ultimate!
It's Not Perfect, but Who Is?
Now, Persona 5 isn't perfect. Some parts are a bit annoying, like this place called Okumura's palace. And yeah, the way the game talks about relationships isn't very subtle. Plus, it takes a looong time to finish – more than 100 hours! But if you can overlook those things, it's a really fun way to end 2023. You can play the regular version or the fancier Royal one.
Time Well Spent:
As we wind down 2023, Persona 5, especially the Royal version, is like a super cool friend to spend time with. If you like games that are big and exciting, Persona 5 is the way to go. So, why not join the Phantom Thieves and have a blast in the awesome world of Persona 5?
