In Persona 5, players control Joker, the leader of the mysterious Phantom Thieves vigilante group. Joker and his party jump between the real world and the “Metaverse,” a realm created by humanity’s collective unconscious populated by demons and powerful beings known as Personas. In this dream-like realm, the Phantom Thieves explore dungeons, battle enemies, and steal the “hearts” of corrupt teachers, politicians, and public figures for the betterment of society. Between dungeon crawls, you socialize with your party and other NPCs to increase your character’s skills and camaraderie.

Persona 5 Royal is an upgraded and expanded version of Persona 5 that added new party members, dungeons, storylines, and other gameplay changes to the beloved RPG. It’s a big game, clocking in over 100 hours depending on how much time you spend getting to know your friends and collecting the game’s many Personas. Luckily, it’s Steam Deck-compatible, so you can grind away on handheld.
