Atlus' early work was a little too janky for my tastes, but when Persona 5 came out in 2016, I think it really came into its own, commercially and artistically. The whole game has a clear, crisp feel, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the fights a big boost. It's been compared to Yakuza, but I think Persona has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humour.
Persona 5 is, like any other game in the series, about high school kids getting thrown into a funky world of the supernatural to throw hands with everything from phantoms to literal gods, but forget high school kids for a second.
What about Patrick Bateman, the axe-wielding American Psycho lead himself? He's gone toe-to-toe against the likes of Jared Leto with his back turned, several nameless cops, a janitor, and Al. Now let's see Yaldabaoth's health bar.
It changes everything from loading screens and art to in-game models, giving Joker a dapper suit and Christian Bale's likeness. Granted, it's a bit weird seeing a grown man - a serial killer at that - wandering about a high school, but it's hardly the worst thing Bateman's done. The only downside to this is that, to keep in line with the film, Bateman doesn't wear the school's uniform, so he sticks out like a sore thumb.
And to boot, Persona 5 is set in Japan, so Patrick Bateman is a little far away from the world of American Psycho, but he's sure to find some friends that he can regale with his love of Huey Lewis and The News all the same.
