Capsule Computers - Travis Bruno - 9.5 / 10

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance shines even brighter than before with a more involved new storyline, QoL improvements, and tons of content, this is the definitive way to experience this RPG.

GamingTrend - David Flynn - 95 / 100

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is the definitive way to experience SMTV. The new story is much more interesting and makes a perfect entry point for Persona fans, though it does miss out on some important plot points. The tweaks to combat make things feel that much tighter and strategic. With new bosses that even veterans will struggle with, Vengeance feels like an entirely new game.

God is a Geek - Lyle Carr - 9.5 / 10

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is an absolutely wonderful RPG, with loads of new features that you'd be foolish to miss.

Kakuchopurei - Jonathan Leo - 90 / 100

Shin Megami Tensei V back in 2021 was an epic JRPG that really needed a better core story (or a superior method of telling it) and better hardware to run, along with some interface tweaks. The Vengeance revamp fixes all of that and adds in a lot more, making this entry the definitive version of an already-stellar post-apocalyptic demon-summoning Nahobino-ing experience.
With a lovingly crafted world with warranted upgrades, a huge cast of powerhouses to summon and recruit for your uber-demon army, a banging soundtrack with more awesome aural extras added, and a better framerate for the overall graphical experience, this is one literal hell of an adventure to dive into.

Nintendo Life - Mitch Vogel - 9 / 10

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is a stellar example of an enhanced re-release done right. Its comprehensive approach to improving the story and various gameplay systems of the original release makes for an experience that's even more engrossing than the already excellent original game. Though we were disappointed by the lack of any performance gains here, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is still an extremely easy recommendation for any RPG fans. Some may consider SMT to be "Persona without the heart," but SMT V: V cleanly demonstrates that this old Atlus stalwart still has an abundance of fantastic gameplay and unique appeal.

Nice scores... 88 on meta for this type of game is pretty great.

This is a must buy game to me.
Most of times I end buying the second interaction of SMT and Persona games... it is one of these series I'm a guy that wait :D

The xbxo era score of 8/10. Man I guess not having having xbox game studios on game launch does add a -1/-2 to the score. Anyways the xbox era scoring guideline can be narrowed down to 3 categories

xbox game- its either a 9.5 or a 10, quality doesn't matter
3rd party multiplat released on xbox - this type of game can get a 9 or a 8, will be compared to a PS exclusive if one has released around the same time.
3rd party multiplat not on xbox- 8 or below, future xbox port will guarantee a +1/+2
PS exclusive- can't be above 7 no matter what
