I had really low expectations on this going in because it was Omega Force doing it. I didn't look at any previews or trailers at all but got it at launch anyway because I am a mark.
As a huge fan of Persona who was wishing P5 was longer. This game surprisingly granted that wish. A scene in the opening hour made me tear up and then I knew this game was not gonna disappoint. As the game goes on, it didn't felt like a spinoff, its just Persona 5-2.
As for the gameplay, the general Musou gameplay is not really the most exciting for me. Not just the moment to moment action but how the overall structure is laid out.
I was pleasantly surprised that this game is not that. The structure of the levels is Persona 5, the battle system is Persona 5 in a more action setting. I'd say, this is barely a Musou, its more of an action RPG.
The japanese road trip setting is so much fun too.
