If you do like JRPG, I think you should give it a try. Also you have a 2hr refund period.

BTW... Dont listen to "journalist", most of them give low scores just for nothing.

Soul Hackers 2: 65.

"Throughout the 30 hours it took to hit credits, I kept trying to latch onto the elements that work. Soul Hackers 2’s saving grace lies in its main characters, each with a distinct personality that often clashes with the rest. Witnessing the group’s growth by putting their differences aside and opening themselves up to camaraderie was a joy. I loved their conversations about freelancing as Devil Summoners as much as the tough chats about the people they lost over a meal or a drink. But there’s not a seat on the table for the player to take it all in".

Saints Row: 85 (GI Must Play)

"In my 30 hours of play, I experienced several glitches, the most severe being my weapons no longer firing, but most were of the visual variety, like my character’s head disappearing. The gameplay can be rough and may force you to reload a checkpoint. Thankfully, the game is liberal with them, so too much time isn’t lost, but it still stinks to have to repeat steps. Here’s hoping the game receives additional polish post-launch"

With this kind of reviews. Is hard to care about "journalists" have to say.

Assuming you don't like the gameplay formula of SMT games, then probably don't bother

Always avoid a game when its average review scores are under 80.

I dont like Persona because of the school life deal. The gameplay is my fav. Turn base.

If you like the gameplay of P5 then by all means get this. You just need to decide if you like the aesthetic.

the battles and fusing demons in persona, smt and similar atlus games are rather similar.
The exploration and storytelling however tend to differ greatly.
So if you like the exploration and socialising part of Persona, but not the battles or fusing, you propably won't like this a lot. If it's the other way round, you could try it for 2 hours.

I saw one review giving this game 30% (Gamingtrend). I also saw reviews with 90%. I wonder if these people played the same game. Wether you like it personally or not is one thing, but you need to factor in different tastes and different people and ages and recommend without personal bias. I wonder if these "journalists" consider that at all. Not much objectivity left in these reviews recently imho.

How so? On a ten points scale no one uses the points between 0 and 4, 5 is pretty much "bitcoin miner disguised as a videogame" broken and unplayable, 6 is barely functional and 7 is mediocre.

If you want a mediocre $100 game, go for it I guess.

From all the reviews I read, it basically said: It's very good, but not as good as p5, forgeting it's not the same thing.

I think it's good advice IF it's a genre you aren't a fan of and a developer you don't know. Like if somebody was just getting started on JRPGs I wouldn't recommend they start with a game that has a 75 metacritic. But I can't imagine fans of SMT games being dissuaded by such a score.

But did you enjoy the combat and demon system of P5?

In this game it's exactly the same.

this game lacks the SOUL that the 1st SOUL HACKERS had. also denuvo. don't buy soul lackers (soul hackers 2)
