4. Persona 5

After many delays, and much heartbreak (especially appropriate after the now pushed back Valentines release), Persona 5 will finally be upon us in April. Persona 5 is a particularly flamboyant JRPG that features a group of lovable rogues dealing with both high school life and pulling off major heists.

Whilst the gang are fairly capable of advanced combat themselves, they’ll need the help of their Personas (visual manifestations of their inner secrets and desires) to deal with the baddies. Mix over the top visuals and action with an eclectic pop/rock soundtrack and you’re sorted.

Well, not quite actually, because Persona games are much, much more than that. Genuine character growth and human connection are huge parts of the game, and you’ll spend as much time hanging out with your virtual friends and developing as a person as you will slicing up monsters.

It might sound a little daft, but it’s a very rewarding experience, and one you’d be remiss to pass on it this year.
