Shin Megami Tensei 5 Vengeance review - a great JRPG turned heavenly

In November 2021, the Nintendo Switch saw the launch of Shin Megami Tensei 5 - the latest mainline entry in Atlus' JRPG series that led to the more widely known - and arguably more popular - Persona games. Despite positive reviews, the ambitious SMT 5 was inarguably held back by its launch platform of choice, with performance woes and other issues preventing it from earning the widespread mainstream recognition it deserved in line with its spinoff counterparts.

Almost three years later, Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance is far more than just a visually enhanced and more technically stable version of the original release. An equivalent to the likes of Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal, Vengeance is an almost-perfect entry point to Shin Megami Tensei for both JRPG newcomers and longtime fans alike. All the while, veteran SMT 5 players can re-enjoy the original and experience something completely new all in one package - truly being the best of both worlds.
