Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth will be releasing in Japan next week, and this week’s issue of Weekly Famitsu magazine #1564 includes reviews for the upcoming dungeon crawling RPG.

Persona Q2 Review Score

Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth (3DS) – 9/9/8/9 [35/40]

The Famitsu review score for the first game, Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, was also 35/40.

It takes an average of 60 hours to finish the game.

While exploring the dungeons tends to be plain, the Persona series charm within them makes up for it.

The combat is satisfactory as well.

It is fun to watch the interactions between the characters.

There are a lot of animated cutscenes and voiced dialogue.

The foundation of the game has not changed a lot from the previous title.

The system is basically “Etrian Odyssey” with a slightly different feeling to how it plays.
