Shin Megami Tensei is a polarizing franchise that attracts as many new fans as it repels, with bizarre tales and often macabre setpieces that go all-in on anime aesthetics. To see a niche RPG such as the Persona series garner such a strong following is a breath of fresh air, namely with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Persona 4, one of the most popular MegaTen departures yet. The cult hit returns with renewed vigor to a much smaller screen with Persona 4 Golden, a souped-up Vita port. With br🌌and new content and slick updates, this is the definitive way to experience the gripping tale of the Midnight Channel.

You fill the shoes of a student who's just moved from the big city to the rural town of Inaba, to room with his new caretaker Detective Dojima and daughter Nanako. Shortly after the move, a murder occurs. Amidst the chaos, you're getting cozy with fellow students Chie, Yosuke, and Yukiko, who surmise that the murder, and others that follow♕, might have been a crime of passion. Soon after, you discover a world inside the TV where the killings seem to be taking place. You've got to get to the bottom of things before even more lives are claimed, including yours.

At its core, the turn-based gameplay is relatively unchanged from 2008, but there are plenty of tweaks and rearrangements in place that make you 🀅feel as though you're playing an entirely new game. You'll still rise each day and head off to school. Just like in real life, you'll attend class, join one of many after-school clubs, and tackle odd jobs when you get home. Unlike real life, you can also venture into the world inside the TV to navigate dungeons.
