Persona 4
Persona 4 is the worst of the big three Persona games, which means that it is still a stellar video game with a gripping murder mystery narrative, solid combat design, and some of the medium’s most memorable characters. Persona 4 acted as many fans’ introduction to the series, and for good reason. Its small-town vibes are easily approachable, the game’s cast is famously strong (there’s a reason it launched so many spin-offs), and it has some of the series’ best music. It also seriously expands upon and refines the series’ signature time-balancing mechanics, laying a stellar foundation for Persona 5
