What players say
I feel like Persona 5 Tactica is the most underrated game in the Persona 5 series. Even though it does not focus on the story of the Phantom Thieves that much, it still manages to give the original cast more characterisation. As a negative, I was able to predict most of the plot points, but this might be because the game was simply too short for the creators to make sudden plot twists. Also, for me, the challenges...
Great game, gameplay does get repetitive after some time 7 or 8 out of 10. Also Persona 2 remake?
Loved P5. Loved P5 Strikers. After 21 hours of Tactica, I don't think I like it. The combat is not satisfying in the ways that P5 and Strikers are. The story is not satisfying in the ways that P5 and Strikers are. Unfortunately that leaves me fast forwarding banal dialogue, and looking forward to each level being over. Personas seem to be largely irrelevant. Bought on sale, and gave it time to hook me, but this fish...
