While it isn’t without its shortfalls, this game definitely stands out among its peers. If you’ve ever played either franchise but not the other, the thought of them coming together is going to seem strange but it fits and complements the other so well that it’s insane to think that this hasn’t been done before. Price ( in USD) : Standard Editions – $59.99, Deluxe Editions – $69.99įew development studios have such an ingrained reputation in the gaming industry that you’d be hard-pressed to think of anything other than what they’re known for when you bring them up: P-Studio and Omega Force are among them as they’re primarily responsible for the Persona and Dynasty Warriors franchises, respectively. Official Site: P5S | Official Website ()Īvailable for Purchase On: PSN, Nintendo eShop, Atlus Website, Most Video Game Retailers Open the floodgates for Persona 5 romance mods - you know you want to.Available On: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows PC Regardless of the logistics of the whole situation, it’s really stupid that a Persona 5 sequel is playable on these platforms while Persona 5 itself isn’t. I’m less sold on Switch, mostly because Persona 4 Golden being on Steam is our reference point for this whole scenario, but hey, Joker is in Smash now, I guess. I do think a day will come where Persona 5 will be playable on PC. I’ve wanted to be able to play Persona on Switch or with the additional power of a good PC for ages, but I always resolved the fact I couldn’t by thinking, “Yeah, I guess it’s just not possible right now.” But then Atlus came out and said, “You wanted Persona 5 on Switch and PC, so here it is, Persona 5-2 on Switch and PC!” That’s not quite what I or anyone else meant, folks. Seriously, though, the fact that I can only play the former on PS4 is ridiculous. I guarantee that I’ll probably have replayed the latter at least once by the time 2021 is out. The attention that Strikers pays to its predecessor is precise, pointed, and always present, so the fact that people who are playing on a certain platform have absolutely zero access to said predecessor is just a really bad joke. Knowing why you’re mates with these specific characters and what you went through together raises the stakes in Strikers, and also converts some ostensibly innocuous scenes into emotional laughathons and sobfests. I personally like that Strikers didn’t do the social link stuff all over again - as I just stated, you’re all friends, why would you need to level up your friendship all over again? Still, it’s contextually important to have gone through that process in Persona 5 if you want to get the full experience in Strikers. By the time Strikers starts, you’re all already best buds. ![]() Characters constantly talk about what transpired in Persona 5, hearkening back to the times in which you’d level up their Confidant rank as you gradually got to know them. That being said, it’s almost brazenly referential towards what came before. ![]() Persona 5 Strikers is admittedly pretty self-contained, to the extent that it’s perfectly enjoyable even as an entry point to the series.
