GodisaGeek: "Persona 4 Golden is the best reason to own a PlayStation Vita right now. This is the definitive game in the franchise, improved upon subtly and perfectly suited to handheld gaming. Atlus have taken the PlayStation 2 original, added some brilliantly unobtrusive extras, increased the number of Persona to find, and added an extra character in Marie, who comes with her own fascinating Social Link that fits right in with the game.
The sheer scope of what has been achieved here is such that you wonder how you are not simply overwhelmed and intimidated as a gamer at the prospect of playing it. But the reality is, the design and structuring is flawless and the slow-burn manner in which you are introduced to the world puts you at complete ease; as such the whole experience is an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Not just one of the best role playing games of the year, but one of the best ever made."
Atlus has announced a collaboration with a well-known Japanese distillery to launch the Persona series' very own whiskey, releasing tomorrow.
I'll have to make this a mission the next time I blow through Tokyo.
Hopefully soon, given the limited availability.
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.
Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5 Royale receive high praise and low prices with accolades trailer & generous sales.
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.
