Paste Magazine - Persona Q Review: A Different Kind of Odyssey

Paste Magazine - Etrian Odyssey was always a punishingly difficult game, but it was also fundamentally lovelybeautiful forest settings with retro FM-style music, player-chosen portraits designed by Yuji Himukai, and a minimal story that encouraged player imagination. Persona Q doesnt really have any of that, aside from the character designs by Yuji Himukai which are so, so cute. But it does have Personas signature music and cute and silly conversations between the characters, so in a lot of ways it actually does capture that same sort of charming low-stakes feeling between the exacting dungeons. Its an energetic game, but its a game thats about having fun, and the characters are clearly having a lot of it. Its infectious!
