I really do see what people mean about this being such a good game -- as I did with Persona 5, I couldn't get enough of the game, even if it's aged badly in multiple senses. Play this game, absolutely!! ...But take a lot of it with a grain of salt.
As much as I enjoyed this game, I will admit that the potential this game had was so, so great-- and it falters on that potential for self-love and self-acceptance with cheap jokes that only harm the LGBTQ+ community further. I can't emphasize enough how wrong it felt with how the game treats Naoto and Kanji-- and the amount of times complete disgust was expressed without apology over the crossing and defiance of traditional gender roles (and don't get me started on the homophobia) just bogged down my enjoyment of the game. ATLUS still has a long way to go, but it is also good to remember that this is an older game with a more traditional, narrow-minded idea of society.
Yes, I'm just bashing some parts of this game, but I still think it's a good game -- you just should be prepared for a lot of second-hand embarrassment and frustration over the homophobia underlying the whole game. And most importantly, remember: Every Day's Great At Your Junes!

I recommend this game for those of you who own a controller-- the way it works is obvious from the beginning that it was made more for console games, and as much as I loved the plot and characters and everything story-related, the combat was choppy on PC with just the mouse (and it may have been just my computer, but a lot of bugs appeared, including frozen enemies so I was forced to redo the battle many times).
Great characters, wish there had been waaaay more remixes, and wish it had been a longer game what with all the potential it had, but it was still overall a great game.

I don't know - didn't play all that much of the game. I wouldn't spend more than a few hours on the game.

This game is super short, but it's worth every penny. You'll play it for hours even after finishing the game.
