[h1]Virou meu Persona preferido[/h1] Essa opinião é unânime, correto? Persona 3: Melhor História. Persona 4: Melhores personagens. Persona 5: Melhor gameplay.

It may lack some gameplay depth compared to newer Persona games, but it definitely makes up for it with its story and characters. The game is set in the small town of Inaba, and you have to figure out who’s behind the murders that start happening shortly after the MC arrives. The soundtrack is a 10/10, super catchy and it fits the vibe of the game perfectly. There’s so much to love about Persona 4, and honestly, I can’t recommend it enough. That said, if you’re mainly interested in gameplay, you might want to check out Persona 5 Royal since it improves a lot on Persona 4’s mechanics. But in my opinion, the characters, soundtrack, story, and setting in Persona 4 are just way better.

Tiene uno de los mejores elencos de toda la serie, personajes que sin duda amaras y una historia bastante imersiva (como lo suele ser con los persona) Algunas bossfights realmente pondran a puebra tu habilidad y eso lo hace super entretenido, al igual que rejugable 10/10 pd.

I love this game to death. Great characters and moments and "social links" I will remember for the rest of my life. With a compelling and interesting story, with even if old still great and fun turn-based jrpg gameplay. This is one of my favorite games and will forever recommend it.

My favorite game of all time, the story is just so cohesive, and the characters are so lively. The voice acting is nothing short of phenomenal, and it sounds like they're all just friends helping one another. The soundtrack is on a repeat for me, especially with the third semester, and then the persona designs are gorgeous. I would highly recommend this game, it is my favorite persona game out of the modernized ones, and brought me to tears once it ended. Everyone should give it a try.

Very good game, amazing cast, soundtrack and atmosphere. Absolutely nailed that country vibe. Its only problems are the procedurally generated dungeons and lackluster "killer" ;). Other than that this is a must play game and I very much hope that P4R fixes these problems

The Best Persona Game, Social Links feel actually like social links and are heartfelt, story has so much fucking twists, the music is some of the best in the series, granted this is pretty old but damn let me tell you its the absolute shit, and don't even get me started the achievements for this game are outrageous as fuck. ten outta ten would die to play again in my next life. also the mods are pretty fucking good, but like 40 hours into modded versions.

Persona 4, what an amazing game it is. I'd definitely give it a try if I were you. Its been several months since I finished Persona 4 Golden after finishing Persona 3 Reload & Episode Aigis a couple of months prior, and I still feel the impact of the game and how much I miss Inaba. The game is amazing with incredible party members that make you feel like they're real friends as you progress the story and social links, the soundtrack is just amazing and the story is captivating in it's mystery, all while the IT Team has it own funny and quirky moments. The game really makes you value how you see yourself entirely and the impact friends can have in your life. I love Persona 4, and I can't wait for it's remake, Persona 4 Revival.

Same game engine with p3 but put twist and new additions on how to bond s.links using jobs for s.links, adding hobbies like fishing, catching bugs, making action figures. ability to bring back skills, reading is really useful to boost stats, always max rise s.link you need the support she gives you on the final boss fights. fights here versus on p3 is much easier, because of the new interaction if you level up s links on your party. like chie insta kill, cavalry attacks, atomic press of kanji and dou special attacks. more fun less difficult. on boss fight the boss only attacks you heavly means you can die instantly but you have buffs, unlik p3 you could be charm, silence and etc. this game has alot of quality life changes from the previous game. also to mention the concept of floors has changed, it make more sense and little bit of puzzle too is great, unlike on p3 surviving 200 floors was really a challenge.

Game changing life, just keep in mind that this game it mainly focuses on its story like any persona game, the gameplay its more an apart thing, so you're playing for the story, but also has some uncomfortable moments like the hot spring event(s). But that aside, the characters are really decently written on his majority, fun events like beach one. Truly recommendable, and its the shortest persona game, too. Chie Satonaka my wife.

To be blunt, this game is my favorite game of all time. Is it the best game or perfect? No. But this game's story and characters are so endearing and impactful, at least to me personally, that I have played this twice between PC and Switch. The combat too ages incredibly well, and when I first played it, it made me learn to love turn-based combat, coming from someone who didn't enjoy it previously. As much as I could talk about everything I love about this game, I think the best thing I can tell you is to simply play it and see it for yourself.

Я обожаю эту игру. Начинал играть в неё ещё на пиратке, когда она только вышла в стиме, второй раз - на свитче, оба раза доходил почти до конца и бросал на неопределённое время. Третий забег прошёл уже на лицензии стима, и вот наконец-то я прошёл её. Эта игра была моим первым знакомством с серией персона и смт, для меня она стала не только одной из любимейших игр (даже не смотря на то, что на окончательное прохождение мне понадобилось более 4-х лет), но и главной мотивацией в изучении английского языка - я был настолько заворожён стилистикой, атмосферой и музыкой в игре, что первые часов 20 сидел в обнимку с переводчиком, потом слова и выражения начали запоминаться, и так я научился одному из важнейших навыков в современном мире - английскому языку, благодаря ремастеру переиздания жрпг 15-ти летней давности :P А если серьёзно, то это очень приятная и греющая душу история, полная позитива и надежды. Люблю эту игру

Ive played persona 3 reload on playstation 5 and it was really good. Even though i was spoiled a little. Ive been wanting to play persona 4 golden for a while and now that time has come. I must say, i find it fun to play and the story is interesting. I hope p4r is going to be even better. Give p4g a try when you have to time. Unless youre reading this after p4r released and its far better than this. I dont expect to change anything with this review right now.

Coming from Persona 5 Royal, it was hard to adjust to P4G. But honestly? While there's some issues, the game is good. Just make sure you do the social links for all the playable characters, they're a lot more shallow and sometimes worse unless you do. Definitely an issue, but regardless having seen their SLs to completion, I definitely recommend this game to those who are fans of RPGs. It's an around 60-80hr experience

Persona 4 Golden has given me quite a memorable experience. From its social-sim elements to its turn-based combat system, the execution of its mechanics is simple yet deeply satisfying to witness and engage with. Sure, the game has a fair amount of padding, but I didn’t mind—it worked for me since I wasn’t in a rush. That might be an issue for some players, depending on their playstyle, but I’ve seen people finish this game in half—or even a quarter—of the time it took me to complete one playthrough. As for the story, while Persona 4’s themes may not be considered the best by most fans of the series compared to Persona 3 or Persona 5, they resonated with me the most. The game explores the idea that there's a part of ourselves we might not like—and that the truth is often elusive. Our beliefs, choices, and sense of identity can be flawed or, at the very least, imperfect. That’s why the support of close companions is so essential: they help us discover both the truths and falsehoods that shape who we are. At least, that’s what I personally took from the game’s message. If you’ve enjoyed even a few anime series or have tried turn-based games in the past, I highly recommend giving Persona 4 Golden a shot. In my opinion, it’s the best entry point into the series. While the original Persona 3 has certain aspects that may be better than P4G, this game benefits from some streamlining and quality-of-life improvements. Those changes make the transition to Persona 3 smoother than if you started with Persona 5, which has more drastic mechanical differences.

Some poorly aged dungeons, but the story, and the slice-of-life atmosphere are unparalleled. A well executed remake (wink wink) could take this 8/10 game to an 11/10.

Really enjoyed it. Sure, it can feel a little dated when compared to the newer releases, but this never stood out to me as a bad thing. The game is relatively hard which I wasn't expecting, especially in comparison to P5R and P3R. The setting and the characters especially stand out, I liked the story too. Would recommend.

Persona 4 Golden is more than just a game—it's an experience that sticks with you long after the credits roll. As my first Persona title, it holds a special place in my heart, and it's easy to see why it has such a passionate fanbase. The story is engaging from the start, blending mystery, supernatural elements, and slice-of-life moments in a way that feels both unique and immersive. But what truly sets it apart are the characters. The bonds you form with your team feel real, and watching them grow—not just in battle, but as people—is incredibly rewarding. It's one of those rare games where you miss the cast once it's over. The gameplay loop of dungeon crawling mixed with daily life sim mechanics is addicting and surprisingly deep. It’s fun, heartfelt, and at times emotionally powerful. I can’t wait to see how the remake improves on what’s already a near-perfect experience. For newcomers or returning fans, Persona 4 Golden is an unforgettable journey that’s absolutely worth taking.

This is hands down one of my favourite games of 2025 and tbh this is just my opinion this is the best persona game i'm planning on playing persona 5 and 3. I am with playing persona 3 portable on my vita but this is meant to be a review on this game, i love the characters full of life and you cant really hate them and teddie gets so much hate i love him so much and also i know there is some changes that some people didn't like but i think some of them were needed. Like the shuffle time i love that you can pick what cards you want without having to guess, also the combat is not that bad sometimes it was bullshit but its a jrpg there is some stuff that will be bs but for the most part it was fine. I will say one thing that the story and the game play and social links were great i just don't really like dungeons i won't give spoilers here but for people who have played the game will know what i'm talking about. I dated Chie which is best girl lol but anyway this game is amazing worth plaything it will tug you by the heart strings and i hope you will have fun with the game. 10/10

Maybe the best Persona game? All of the mainline Persona games (3,4,5) are very unique but they each have one thing better than the other- In this case Persona 4 Golden has by far the best characters and a cast that anyone is guaranteed to like, although the dungeons feel dated now it still has a fairly strong combat system that is still comparible to other entries in the series. The murder mystery plot is well written and has a fair few twists that keep it consistently entertaining- all of the social links and events are good because like I said the characters are excellent and although small, the map and exploration doesnt get very stale. I have finished the entire plot and extended ending by this point and there is still tons of content I missed on my playthrough- However, If you are interested in playing Persona 4 then I would recommend waiting a little bit as there is a recently announced remake in the works that would likely be a better and improved version of the original and probably will fix all of my gripes with the game as little as there are

Played 5 first then played and FINISHED this game with the secret ending and it is an amazing showcase of a story and characters. It's an a little older game (released in 2012) but don't let it lower your standards. The only thing that holds this game back is the combat IMO but that doesn't really matter that much. A must play for sure.
