Summary
After playing Persona 5 Royal for several hours, Daniel calls it bland, tedious, dialogue-heavy, and mostly noninteractive. He says combat and puzzles lack challenge, describing repetitive turn-based attacks, automatic platforming, drawbridges, and subway navigation. Tokyo streets provide the only enjoyment through Japan nostalgia; he rates Persona 5 Royal 2.6/10 and rejects its £50 price.
Insight
The review prioritizes interactive gameplay over narrative, with Japan nostalgia as its only meaningful positive.
