Second Opinion: Persona 4: The Golden Review - TGV

The Gaming Vault writes:

"I’ve come to the conclusion that Persona 4: The Golden does a great many wondrous and great things. I mean, it makes school seem like a cool place to hang out, classes and study seem worthwhile and most of all, it makes talking to foxes seem like a remotely sane act. By far its best trick is two-fold though; not only does it succeed in giving Vita owners another must-have title for their struggling handheld but it also delivers, or rather re-delivers, one of the finest JRPG’s in years in shiny and improved form.

With that said, precious little has changed in the JRPG landscape since Persona 4′s original PS2 release back in 2008. Square-Enix still finds itself increasingly unable to recapture the magic from its PSOne days with its evermore budget-heavy and conceptually uninspiring Final Fantasy iterations, while Persona 4 reminds us that, over five years later, the gulf between them remains as vast as it ever was."

I'll have to make this a mission the next time I blow through Tokyo.

Hopefully soon, given the limited availability.

Seraphim280d ago

send me one while you're at it. I mean what's better than Whiskey and Persona? A cigar with the two, and that would be perfection personified.

Remasters And Remakes Make Up 90 Percent Of 2023's Highest-Rated Games

Only one of the games on the top ten is completely original.

90 percent of Metacrtitic's top ten highest-rated games of 2023 so far are remasters and remakes, with Hi-Fi Rush acting as the only wholly original game to make the list so far.

We might only be in March, but it seems like we've already got tons of great games to be talking about, including Dead Space, Resident Evil 4, Hi-Fi Rush, Persona 4 Golden, and Metroid Prime Remastered. There is one commonality between those games, however - most of them are remakes and remasters.

I don't usually buy Switch games until the holidays when they have the elusive sale.

dead_pixels400d ago

Can't blame you there. The bargains don't come too often on the eShop, that's for sure.

FinalFantasyFanatic399d ago

I feel like they're getting stingier and stingier, at this point, if the game is on something else, I'd rather buy it there where it's cheaper.

Yui_Suzumiya399d ago

Already own physical versions of Persona 5 Royal and Persona 5 Strikers along with digital versions of Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden on Switch. Will definitely double dip if physical versions of Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden.
