Reviews

Shin Megami Tensei V is an outstanding RPG, made all the more so by its countless improvements over its older siblings. It’s tough but enthralling, and brimming with style. More importantly, perhaps, it has great ideas executed to something near perfection.

If you’re looking for a good, meaty RPG to sink your teeth into this holiday season, it definitely fits the bill. The small additions made to the Shin Megami formula work out really well here, and the game doesn’t feel hindered on Switch hardware.
