When the PC Port first launched in late 2022 I played the game on Xbox game pass and had roughly ~15 hours on it. I loved the game a lot, the idea that a group of rebels can take back upon the world that's wronged them and to let the perpetrators face their crimes and make them realize the errors of their ways is something that really spoke out to me, for whatever reason. Unfortunately, once I stopped paying for a month of game pass I wanted to own the game through Steam, only for it to have Denuvo on it. When you pay 80 dollars on a video game, you don't expect to "rent it out" like game pass, and much less so for a singleplayer campaign that's online only, so I passed on buying the Steam release. 2 years pass since then and I've never forgotten the amazing journey I went with Joker, Skull and Panther for the ~15 hours I played the game, so I beg you ALTUS RELEASE THE GAME AND I'LL GIVE YOU MONEY PLEASE.
Started playing a few times, but for some reasons, i was never able to continue playing, last year I ended up with one and I finally was able to play it through it all, I just love the aesthetics, story, characters and music, "Beneath the Mask" always helps me to relax when I'm having an anxiety attack.

my journey started from discovering the great soundtrack of persona 5 (without even knowing the gameplay and the game in general) and then trying persona 3 portable for the first time. From then i found a great opportunity to buy persona 5 on pc with a discount. After launching the game for the first time i havent even noticed how a whole month passed as ive been completing it (total game time around 120 hours, most jrpgs takes quite long to complete). It was a sure greatest exprerience i ever had in my life and i wouldnt mind trying it again. The music, the art style, the characters and ofcourse the gameplay had this charn that catched me. It is one of the best (if not the best) jrpgs that ever came out along with the whole series. I would spend thousands of hours playing it over and over thankfully for its variety of choices you can make to affect the game, leaving you with replayability. In my opinion its deserves a gog release, so more people will have an opportunity to catch on this masterpiece. (might be a good reason to replay it for third semester since i gotten another ending)
Absolute amazing game with great story and nuance, all about the fight of the youth against the corruption of adults and society, how you have to hide your true self to fit in and how false prejudice is. Great fighting system, you got a classic JRPG style with a focus on resistances, weaknesses and buffs that make fights never really a one-sided thing unless you got the knowledge, Personas (demons you collect) are fun to collect and fuse to make different ones. My personal fave was Seth who i made into an absolute nuke lol The music is exceptional, i use "Life Will Change" as my alarm tone!
Persona 5 is my favorite game of all time. It's art direct, soundtrack, story, and characters will forever hold a special place in my heart. And yet it is infected with Denuvo on Steam. This is very worrisome to me, as not only will there be a day where I might not be able to play it again, but it also takes away tons of mods created by it's community.
Persona 5 Royal positively affected my life by encouraging self-reflection and reminding me of the importance of standing up for what’s right. Its stylish presentation, unforgettable soundtrack, and deep social themes made me feel empowered during times of doubt. The Phantom Thieves' journey to change hearts inspired me to face my own challenges and believe in personal growth. Balancing daily life with dungeon crawling taught me time management and the value of building meaningful relationships. Persona 5 Royal is a fantastic game because it blends turn-based combat, rich character development, and a thought-provoking narrative into an unforgettable experience. It’s more than a game—it’s a lesson in empathy, courage, and the impact one person can make.
Basically my favorite game of all time. I play it on Steam but Denuvo DRM is in the way to enjoy it fully, it makes making mods harder, it also prevent you from playing without connecting to Denuvo servers one time each 7 days.
I played this game on Nintendo Switch, and despite being forced to quit my first playthrough due to one of the bosses being notoriously difficult, I eventually willed myself into giving it another shot, even though I had already seen the rest of the story through YouTube. I do NOT regret that decision at ALL. Not only did I wipe through the boss that ruined my first playthrough on my first try, but everything beyond that CONTINUED to blow me away, and I was STILL impacted by the story beats that I had already seen on YouTube. This game is a masterpiece in every sense of the word. It's not just a game--it's an experience. This is one of the greatest games of all time, and it deserves its status. But you know what it DOESN'T deserve? Being locked behind Denuvo DRM on Steam, which is notorious for impacting performance and locking us out of games we paid $60 for. This game MORE than deserves to be added to GOG's store so it can be available to all PC lovers, without DRM and without internet. It is a masterpiece of storytelling, turn-based RPG gameplay, and character development. So let's get it on this store.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
