A Negative Review of SMT V (My GOTY)
An in-depth look at all the bad things in SMT5 that bothered me that no other review seems to be mentioning. SMT5 is a long way from a Masterpiece or "The Best JRPG Ever" - that being said, it is great and you should buy it. For anyone who Dived fully into SMT5 and has experience with the series outside of that title, I hope you enjoy! More SMT/Persona content to be coming soon.
