This year, I took my first step into the world of Persona. As someone who is into horror, with a great interest in visual novels and turn-based battling, you’d think I’d have made the plunge sooner, but no. The Persona games have sat in my ever-expanding backlog for a while now, and once Persona 4 Golden made its way to the Nintendo Switch earlier this year, I decided that it was time.
]]>The best story-based games are ageless. While gameplay can become clunky with the passing of time, an enthralling narrative is just as gripping whether it came out in 2004 or 2024.
]]>Getting the Persona 4 Golden ending you want is a tricky blend of planning ahead and carefully choosing the correct sequence of dialogue options at a key moment.
]]>The PS2 is one of the best-selling consoles of all time, and with good reason. Not only was it a convenient DVD player just as the format was taking off, but its incredible library of fantastic PS2 games raised the bar in almost every way from the original PlayStation.
]]>Disclaimer: For legal reasons some of the names of the people involved in this story have been altered.
]]>We might be expecting a flood of new Persona announcements for the series’ 25th anniversary.
]]>Thanks to strong Steam sales success during lockdown, Sega plans to put more resources into porting its back catalogue onto PC.
]]>Since Persona 4 Golden launched on PC, modders have been working to implement a range of details that weren't available in the original game - including a Yosuke romance mod.
]]>It was recently confirmed that contrary to popular belief, the Persona 4 Golden PC port was handled internally by Atlus Japan itself, which has since set up its own official Steam developer page.
]]>Persona 4 Golden has already smashed the record for the most concurrently played JRPG on Steam - excluding MMOs - in the platform's history.
]]>One of the greatest RPGs in recent memory is now on PC - and it's an excellent port.
