15 Best Video Game Moments Of 2017 (So Far)
7. Taking Down Kamoshida - Persona 5
Persona's greatest strength has always been in delving inside its various characters' psyches, allowing those latent negative or leery thoughts to manifest in a number of alternate dimensions, thereby giving the heroes something to fight against - even if it is themselves.
For Persona 5, we get 'Palaces', constructed from certain peoples' idea of how they view themselves; a construct that take a dark turn when you go after an abusive gym teacher having a relationship with a girl who is ostensibly underage. Working your way to the top of Kamoshida's domain, you'll notice many half-naked torsos adorning the walls, a version of him brandishing an objectified version of 'partner' Ryuji and most horrifying of all, a bulging penis mini-boss that just wants to engulf everything.
Yes, really.
As a manifestation of some cocksure egotistical maniac it's kinda genius... but also thoroughly creepy and disgusting, making it all the more awesome when you finally bring him down.
