We Played Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance - It's Really Good!
Noisy Pixel's Preview of Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, an enhanced version of the original mainline entry releasing in June 2024.

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is standing out for both hardcore veterans who love the series and complete newcomers who have no idea what they’re getting into. The former can anticipate a renewed experience with several gameplay additions and a new narrative.
At the same time, the latter can look forward to what is essentially two games in one with updated systems. Even as a casual fan, I was already far more invested in what I played of Vengeance than the original for narrative and gameplay reasons. Prospective players should get prepared for this incoming 160-hour adventure.
Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance Hands-On Preview - A New Canon
Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance takes a microscope to every feature, improving them drastically while providing plenty of new content.

The modus operandi of Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance appears to be "more." At its core, Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance is more of everything - more stories, more demons, more characters, and more to love. This approach should bold well for the title, as it builds on everything that came before in new and exciting ways and truly represents what a "definitive edition" should be.
This preview largely raised more questions about Vengeance than it answered, but in the best way possible. The bits that were teased from the new storyline are clearly part of a much bigger picture, and the mysterious nature of both Yoko and the Qadištu is undeniably intriguing. There was much of the Shinjuku ward left to be explored when the preview ended, and with a total of 40 demons added, many new enemies left to encounter as well

While it’s unlikely to be SMT’s Persona 5 moment, Vengeance is still shaping up to be a brilliant RPG…

With Persona fever at an all time high, this definitive edition sits alongside Royal and Persona 3 Reload as a shiny and more accessible way to dive into Persona’s bleaker and less amenable older brother. Despite the visual touch up, SMT V still feels ostensibly like a game that was built for a handheld, and while it’s unlikely to be SMT’s Persona 5 moment, Vengeance is still shaping up to be a brilliant RPG to lose yourself in during the wait for October’s Metaphor: ReFantazio.
