Persona 3 & 5:Endless Night Collection (PS4) Not much to say about this pair of games. Story-wise, it takes place after the events of the Persona 4 dancing game. However, it takes itself much less seriously. After the P4 gang dance-fight against demons, the Velvet Room attendants get in an argument about which protagonist would be the best dancer. Since the Velvet Room is unbound by the rules of reality, the Persona 3 and 5 teams are plucked from before the end of their respective games to have a dance-off while they sleep. Dream logic applies, and only the Velvet Room attendants will remember any of this afterwards. Despite this, the P3 and P5 teams don't directly interact, and instead just allude to each other (which I feel is a missed opportunity). Gameplay-wise, this is just like the Persona 4 dancing game. It's a rhythm game based on remixes of music from the P3 and P5 games - hit the appropriate face buttons or directional buttons in time with the music. Having played the P4 dancing game on the Vita, I can say that these are best experienced on a smaller screen. There were sometimes too many notes onscreen for me to keep track of on the larger TV screen, and I could hardly pay any attention to the dancing in the background. As alluded to above, there is no story mode; instead, after reaching certain milestones, such as dressing up the characters or hitting a certain number of notes with perfect timing, unlock interactions between the characters. Once you've seen enough of these, the results of the dance-off are announced. I felt that the P5 interactions were more enjoyable (probably given the moody tone of the main P3 game), but I would not expect anyone to care about these if they were not already invested in the characters. The unlock criteria also felt kinda grind-y at times. The Persona series has some really excellent music, and these rhythm games are a fun way to enjoy remixes of it. However, would only recommend this to people who are already fans of the Persona series. 6.5/10 #retrocollective #rceurope #disccollective #igersplaystation#sony #playstation#playstation4 #ps4#4theplayers#persona #persona5#persona3#dancing #glpreview#atlus #smt #sega https://www.instagram.com/p/BxFxvozl4BR/?igshid=1evrf9qacpvd4
