• PC Gamer: 94 / 100

Endlessly slick, the battles and story are a joy to play through. No turn-based JRPG feels as good as this.Read full review

Persona 5 Royal is an experience that no JRPG fan should miss, pure and simple. While it's an extremely satisfying experience overall, there are some rather visible areas for improvement in Persona 6. Nevertheless, this game is a modern classic.Read full review10 / 10.0Persona 5 Royal was a masterpiece when it launched, and two years later, it is more resonant than ever. No matter what system you play it on, you are in for a treat, and one of the greatest games ever made.Read full review

• Nintendo Life: 10 / 10

Persona 5 Royal is the very definition of 'required reading' for JRPG fans. A deep and moving story, stylish presentation, amazing soundtrack, and decision-driven gameplay all combine to make for an unforgettable and exceptional experience that proves itself to be every bit deserving of the hype and praise it's already received. While those who have played this elsewhere may want to consider whether Switch's portability is enough of a selling point to justify paying full price to double dip, but it suits it perfectly. Persona 5 Royal remains a game that we absolutely recommend you pick up as soon as you can. This easily stands as one of the very best RPGs of the last decade and you'd be doing yourself a disservice to miss out.Read full review

• XboxEra: 8.8 / 10.0

Excellent turn-based combat is carried further by gorgeous visuals, an incredible soundtrack, and a story filled with brilliant twists and turns. It’s available day one on Xbox Game Pass and if you’re looking for a game to put over 100 hours into (conservatively) then do yourself a favor and give this one a go.Read full review

Not surprised. Unless they botched the ports, there was no reason they wouldn't get the same scores the ps4 got.

Will be interesting to see how this does in Japan on Switch.... those Famitsu numbers!

Nice. As a long-time Atlus fan, it's great to see them receiving so many accolades.

I imagine pretty good. Japan loves the switch.
