This is the most positive review I have seen for this game, and you didn't even mention Persona. Great informative review!

Just bought this because of the aesthetic alone. Excited to give it a try (only about an hour in) but a lot of reviews gave it a hard time. Thanks for your review - you got me back into it!

This is definitely gonna be a must own for me. I absolutely love the style, and I've had my eye on it since it came out for Vita (lack of a physical release put me off) but I had no idea they added this much to the Overdose version

Thanks for that review. People has so much bad things to say about this game but nobody seems to go so much in depth with it. I get that people review games for everyone but it's important to understand that some games are made for a specific audience. This game looks right up my alley and I think I'll also get it on ps4 to have the full experience. Great review and thanks for helping me decide between versions. Cheers :)

i dig the production values in p5 alot but the slow ass pace before you REALLY get into the action holds it back for me. this looks like it gets to the point way faster, and with a more interesting combat system.
@finnhaverkamp Жыл бұрын
Excellent review! The combat system looks super interesting. Unrelated question, when a game has both voiceover and subtitles, do you find yourself listening to the full dialogue or skipping though once you've read ahead?
@JRPGJungle Жыл бұрын
I have to listen to the whole thing haha I watch my boyfriend skip through and I think it's incredible lol (no bad feelings about it, I just literally can't do it lol if I accidentally skip, I replay the line XD) How about you? :)
@finnhaverkamp Жыл бұрын
@@JRPGJungle honestly I usually skip it :( my preference is to have subtitles off, really. I don't even like watching movies with subtitles because I find them very distracting.

honestly feel its borderline irresponsible how badly reviewers buried this game? clearly better than 63, didnt even stand a chance :/ also confident that the reviewers overly focused on Persona comparisons aren't even big into JRPGs anyway. whole thing is a bummer

This game is on sale on ps4 right now. If it wasn't on sale for less than half it's price then I probly never would've thought about buying it. That being said the premise is reminding me a lot of the last parts of persona 5 royal. Considering I just beat that recently I'm very much buying this to give it a try.

Eric Nick or, not. There are a lot of indie titles out there with that level of polish and better, much less double a. This game, and I too have done a review on it, doesn't look or feel great. I can appreciate this review, but hey, people can have different opinions my dude.
@JRPGJungle 5 жыл бұрын
For me personally, other than the high school dungeon crawler theme and the fact there are social mechanics, the tone was different enough that I didn't find them that similar. It's maybe similar in a way that Blue Reflection was similar to Persona 5 with similar mechanics and story beats at the start, but like I said, different tone IMO and as the story continues, I don't think they go in the same direction :)
@ericnick4498 5 жыл бұрын
@@dragoskai Name the indie games that has the same level as quality as a triple AAA title. Its not about having an opinion or not, it more of understanding how game development works and constraints most developers have when developing games. Why does it matter that you review games? Apparently every game has to be a 10/10 triple AAA title or else its all of sudden deemed worthless. Itsno wonder people outside this community don't even take gamers serious when we have people like this. Christ
