"Persona 5 Strikers is not what you think. It is not a musou game or another Warriors game. It is an amazing Persona RPG action title. One of the best surprises of the year."

"If you liked Persona 5 (is there anyone who didn&s;t?), Strikers should be a no-brainer choice. The gameplay isn&s;t exactly our cup of tea, but the story is so interesting, the characters are so lovable and it just looks SO …"
