Persona 5 Tactica (PS5)

The tactical combat actually feels fresh and engaging, especially when you start chaining follow-up attacks between party members. I'm about 10 hours in and the story has that classic Phantom Thieves energy that makes you want to keep playing.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well the tactical combat translates to the grid-based maps, making each encounter feel like a clever puzzle. The story hooks you right from the start with the Phantom Thieves landing in this weird, militarized kingdom. Definitely a fun spin on the Persona formula if

Charging into the bizarre, tyrannical realm with the Phantom Thieves feels genuinely tactical, and the humor in the cutscenes keeps things from getting too heavy. I love customizing each character’s move set for these grid-based skirmishes—it adds a nice layer of strategy.
