Reviews

Shin Megami Tensei V wants you to become a God and throws everything it’s got at you to test your mettle. At times rebellious and stubborn, Atlus’ artisanal approach to RPG craft makes up for any shortcomings.

SMT V is perhaps a little too smart for its own good and might alienate some people in the process, but it’s also refreshing to have developers create something that actually dares to have that level of confidence in their audience.
