Persona 5, which was released at the end of last week in Japan, has sold exceptionally very well and subsequently went on to top the charts. If we put some figures backing all this, the PS4 version of the title has sold over 264,793 copies, while the PS3 version has managed to sell over 72,974 copies.
This is a very good opening week for Japan, indeed. Now, to give those statistics some context, when Persona 4 was launched into the market on the PS2, in 2008 it had managed only a meagre 202,338 sales in its initial week.
Along with these hearty sales, the critical response by enthusiasts to both the renditions of the game has been overpoweringly positive, which is good news indeed.

Similar to the previous title of Persona 4 Golden, this game also offers the Safety difficulty option lets players enjoy Persona 5 at their pace. It massively decreases enemy stats and damage output with increased experience and currency rates from fights.
Moreover, there are also extra added fail-safe features to make sure gamer does not get a Game Over. Persona 5 bringsa lot of system mechanics to the table. Thankfully, the game does a great job of explaining its flow every step of the way.

Plus, though initially travelling around Tokyo may seem a bit tedious, but the game guides players to their journey’s end and provides them an extensive fast-travel choice to get to places in seconds.
At times there may be days in Persona 5 in which you will feelunsure about what to do. You can receive texts from your friends saying they are available for a hangout, which can warp you instantly to their spot if you agree to their invitation.
