I bought this game without playing any of the old persona games. I went into it blindly. The game is amazing in every aspect, one that must be played. The uniqueness of it will have most gamers addicted from the very first minute. The game tackles many of today's problems in such a way that evokes catharsis. This is a line that I saw in Metacritic, a website that aggregates reviews of media products, which exemplifies and clarifies what I am trying to say: "At its core, this is a spectacular work of contemporary young adult fiction, one with a strong moral core, angled yet never didactic, expansive yet always focused." -From a Metacritic reviewer.
