Why is this game so beloved?

Persona 5. Finally.

Rampant Games

Apparently, I don’t buy game consoles unless I have written games for ’em. I’m a PC gamer at heart, still. So I never picked up a PS3 or PS4. There was really only one game I wanted for those machines… Persona 5. I had trouble justifying that kind of expense for a single game.

Filmustage

Today we want to talk about a bloody philosopher and ruthless humanist — a psychologist who studied not so much the causes of negative emotions as their harmful effects; a visionary who transformed acts of monstrous violence into beautiful paintings, and even in the darkest darkness, can find hope.
