Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance (Xbox One/SX)

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance merzt sehr viele Fehler des Originals aus und packt dabei sogar noch einen komplett neuen Storypfad drauf. Die Story & Charaktere sind dabei nochmals besser ausgearbeitet, aber besonders die vielen kleinen Verbesserungen fallen ungemein positiv auf.

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance bleibt auch drei Jahre später das perfekte JRPG, das in der Neuauflage mit sinnvollen Ergänzungen und besserer Performance glänzt.

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance brings a new story and new content to an already extensive game, but this new version won't do much to change your mind about the series.

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is an excellent addition to the franchise that's a must-play for franchise fans, and well worth picking up for those curious about dipping their toes in the water. The difficulty level is still there, but it has become a lot more manageable thanks to quality of life updates.

There isn’t special attention drawn to it, nor does it feel like an awkward attempt to replace or undermine the original. It’s just more SMT V to dive into, which for an already jam-packed RPG full of narrative agency and monster-collecting action, is more food on the table for the feast. And it was a hell of a feast to begin with.
