Some of the original flaws remain – chiefly the glacial pace during the real world, plot heavy sections. Royal slowly guides you for around four hours before giving you the slightest bit of freedom, but you’ll be champing at the bit to explore and experiment long before that. Slog through the restrictive opening hours though, and Persona 5 Royal rewards you with one of the deepest, richest, and most stylish RPG experiences to be found.
