Things start off seemingly normal as you follow your character through a typical day of school, but there’s an ominous tone to the announcement at the end of the day that advises students to travel home in pairs. Right from the off, it’s made abundantly clear that Shin Megami Tensei V is every bit as ‘heavy’ as its predecessors. Fortunately, any such concerns can be cast aside - Shin Megami Tensei V is the best entry in the series yet and stands as an impressive achievement for a beloved franchise. It was never in doubt that Atlus would give this release the attention it deserves, but the question has always been whether it would be good enough to get over the high bar set by its predecessors. All those years of hype have thus generated some awfully high expectations. Moreover, Shin Megami Tensei V was one of the first games ever revealed for the Switch, mere months after the console itself was first shown to the public. The last mainline entry in the series was released over eight years ago for the 3DS, while the last home console entry was another ten years before that. Shin Megami Tensei V has been a long time coming.
