Persona 5 Tactica Cleverly Rewards Players for Engaging With One Persona Storytelling Trope

Persona 5 Tactica is the latest spin-off in the franchise. P5 launched the series into the mainstream, but Persona has been no stranger to spin-offs in the past and has branched out into the rhythm, fighting, and action genres before. Tactica brings the phantom thieves into the tactical strategy genre, bearing a resemblance to games in the XCOM and the Mario + Rabbids series. Persona spin-offs aren’t all created equal, but Persona 5 Tactica‘s new art style, genre, and story work to make it stand out from the crowd; the game feels both incredibly fresh and remarkably faithful to the spirit of P5. Much of this can be attributed to the game’s excellent writing.
