Persona 5 – PS4 | citygadgetskenya.co.ke

One of the most acclaimed JRPGs of its generation — Persona 5 blends turn-based dungeon-crawling with a stylish story of teenage rebellion against corrupt authority.

Product Description

Persona 5 was developed by Atlus's in-house P-Studio team and published by Atlus, releasing in Japan in September 2016 and internationally (including on PS4) in April 2017. It's the fifth mainline entry in the Persona series (a spin-off of the wider Megami Tensei franchise), and is widely regarded as a high point for the series both critically and commercially, having sold several million copies worldwide.

The game follows a high school student (nicknamed "Joker" by players) who transfers to a new school in Tokyo after a false criminal conviction and discovers he can summon a "Persona" — a manifestation of inner rebellion — allowing him and a growing group of classmates to enter the corrupted, dreamlike "Palaces" that exist within the twisted hearts of adults who abuse their power. As the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, the group steals the "treasure" at the heart of each Palace to force a change of heart in its real-world owner, while balancing everyday high school life, part-time jobs, and social relationships that improve gameplay-relevant "Social Link" bonds.

Persona 5 received near-universal critical acclaim, praised especially for its distinctive, jazz-and-acid-house-influenced soundtrack, its stylish, magazine-cutout-inspired UI and menu design (considered a genre benchmark), and its turn-based combat system that rewards exploiting enemy weaknesses. It won numerous Game of the Year awards and nominations from major outlets in 2017. An enhanced re-release, Persona 5 Royal, followed in 2019/2020 with additional story content, a new playable character, and a new semester of content; that expanded edition is sold separately from this base PS4 release.

If you enjoy Persona 5's blend of turn-based RPG combat and social-life simulation, you'll also want to try Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age for a more traditional, tactically-focused turn-based JRPG experience; Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered for another beautifully art-directed, story-rich JRPG aimed at a broad audience; and NieR: Automata, which — while an action game rather than turn-based — shares Persona 5's reputation for a distinctive art direction and an unusually thoughtful, mature narrative for the genre.
