10 Reasons Persona 5 Is Already A Game Of The Year Contender

1. Overall Visual Quality & Style Is Unprecedented

If it wasn't evident enough from the screenshots, Persona 5 is one of the most stylish games ever made.

Everything just exudes pure confidence. From the introduction of the game to the menu screens when you pause and even the scene transitions, all of it is gorgeously animated and smoothly presented. This is one of Persona 5's biggest draws, and something that can be appreciated no matter if you've played it or not.

The anime-esque character portraits, the cel-shaded design during gameplay and the animated cutscenes all show different takes on the characters and world, but somehow manage to mix together perfectly.

It takes a game with true style to have this many different looks and artistic inspirations and yet still feel like it has a distinct taste. Against all odds, this is exactly what Persona 5 does. This is especially surprising considering that the previous Persona games were nowhere near as animated and lively as this, which further signifies this title as the best so far.

Persona 5 is simply one of the most stylish games of all time, one of the best looking games of the year, and one of the best examples of style and substance. A very rare feat indeed.
