#1: Persona 5
Here we go. One of the most awaited titles of the year, Persona 5 will also be appearing on the PlayStation 3 alongside its PlayStation 4 release (yes, we cheated a bit). The game follows on the cult momentum its predecessor, Persona 4 has developed over the years and once again features a Japanese high-schooler as he attempts to balance a school life alongside exploring dungeons and summoning parts of his psyche, Personas to do battle.
A unique twist this time around is that the protagonist is modelled after gentleman thief, Arsène Lupin and that he steals ill intent from people’s hearts. All the while, of course, the protagonist must build social links with his friends and acquaintances and navigate the tricky waters of a Japanese high school. And scoring the best waifus, of course.
Persona 5 is expected to release later this year. It will first come out in Japan, followed by a Western release.
