Tons of quality of life updates and small tweaks vastly improve the experience
Despite its length, it never feels like a chore
Characters are as great and memorable as ever
You can finally use the share button to take screenshots and capture footage
Grappling hook could have further improved some of the most tedious palaces


Razer-Sharp New Visual Updates
More Incentive To Get Creative In Battles
Cool New Locations And Activities

Porting is very clean, whether in portable mode or docked mode
The OST, between rock, jazz and lounge music, offers more than 5 hours of compositions
Content is gargantuan
The artistic direction, always as stylish and never equaled
Enough tutorials to make newcomers never feel lost
The moments of the game's life have never been so enjoyable
Its length may put off some
Still a few peaks of difficulty quite high
[9/10] reviewed at 17/10/2022 - TEST | Persona 5 Royal : Il a volé notre coeur sur Nintendo Switch [read the full review on JVFrance]


A complete JRPG
Incredible lifespan (
+100 hours)
The 2 additional story arcs
Smoother
An exceptional soundtrack
Weak novelties


+ Its cast of characters is charming and unforgettable, with intriguing backstories.
+ The combat system is deep, with multiple fun mechanics to play around with.
+ The presentation has significantly improved thanks to the Xbox Series X|S port's 1080p resolution and 60fps upgrades.
? Getting a "game over" if the main character dies in battle while your party members do nothing to revive them is an annoying and non-sensical way to increase the difficulty.


More time to do things during the story
Most new content is addictive
Music is catchy as hell
No option to disable motion controls for minigames


Great new characters
So many improvements
So many additions
Superb, expanded soundtrack
Still the most stylish game ever
Still a role-playing masterpiece

At the playable level, it is addictive like few turn-based RPGs.
Its dungeon design is very high-end
Great artistic design and excellent soundtrack


Includes all previous DLC
+
Well-crafted story
+
More than 100 hours of content
+
Stylish visuals in both TV and handheld modes
Pacing issues
-
Easy to miss large sections of the game


Graphics
Many additions
Charismatic characters
Lifespan
We are still looking for a negative point


Interesting characters and interactions.
The audiovisual part of the title in total.
Lots of content and long lasting.
A complete Atlus "heart" gift to PC, Switch and Xbox owners.
The excessively long time required of the player to get to know the mechanics of the title.


Cool social bonding elements
An endearing cast
Phenomenal soundtrack
Excellent visual style
Steam Deck compatible


Many references (including Japanese culture)
Unique artistic style
Very static and non-skipable tutorial
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


Network fusions let you fuse together with a strangers' persona to create a new summon
Royal's story fits nicely as an epilogue to an already complete narrative
Same old fusion tips and tricks from base game still work (Yoshitsune is still amazing)
All previous DLC for Persona 5 is free for Persona 5 Royal
Mementos changed and expanded to be worth exploring
Grappling hook doesn't add much to palace exploration
No save data carryover, so expect to start fresh at Shujin Academy
Kasumi's sole character trait during first half of the story is 'gymnast with a broken phone'
Epilogue content feels too short for the amount of time commitment needed to reach
Thieves' Den just a panorama and collectible gallery


Tons more to do and experience
Game is still incredible
So bloody long
