Review

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance takes an already critically acclaimed formula and amplifies it, delivering a definitive experience that fans of the series will adore. The expanded storyline is a major highlight, bringing in brand-new locations, a host of new demons, and pivotal choices that dictate the fate of all existence. This additional content significantly deepens the game's engagement, making the world feel even more alive and reactive to player decisions. However, the game's complexity might be a double-edged sword, as it could overwhelm newcomers who are unfamiliar with the tactical nuances that the series is known for. Additionally, while the story is largely compelling, pacing issues can occasionally disrupt the flow. The high difficulty curve remains a trademark of the series, which might be off-putting for some but will be a rewarding challenge for veterans.
