Since its launch in 2016, the JRPG has inspired spin-offs across a variety of genres, from rhythm game Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight to the strategy-based Persona 5 Tactica.
Much like with Persona 5, Phantom X s follows a group of teenage vigilantes known as Phantom Thieves who gain the power to summon powerful entities, Personas, to fight evil forces.
While The Phantom X opens almost identically to the original game, it quickly veers away from Persona 5’s cast to establish its own.
Because of that system, The Phantom X is best played at a daily pace, rather than long stretches.
For players who want to relive the highlights of the Persona 5 universe, The Phantom X is an easy recommendation.
