Good game but Denuvo anti-piracy protection prevents me from playing offline on my steam deck. You must first be online and launch the game once, then you can disconnect and play. However if you turn the steam deck off, the process must be repeated, which is useless if you turn it on in an area with no wifi.

Another case of Denuvo (which is not needed, this game was cracked a long time ago) ruining an experience for no reason.

Best persona game ever. Completed it on PS4. The graphics and combat might be a little janky, but the storyline and characters are worth it. The only bad thing about this game is that for the true golden ending, you need to max Marie's confidant (although it isn't required for the golden ending, max out Adachi's confidant too), and on December 3rd you need to choose specific dialogue options (i recommend googling is), and on March 20th, when you're asked to leave, select no, and go to Junes. . But other than that, the game is worth a try. 10/10

Persona 4 Golden has an unforgettable story, centered around mystery, self-acceptance, and friendship, making every character's journey deeply personal and relatable. The game-play expertly balances turn-based combat and dungeon crawling with a rewarding social simulation system, where building relationships directly enhances battle mechanics. The cast is among the strongest in any RPG I have played, each with a well-developed arc that makes them feel like real, emotional characters. It will at first perhaps feel a bit off visually, being a game from 2012, but once you learn to embrace the old graphics and get used to them, the colorful art style brings the world of Inaba to life, while the incredible soundtrack perfectly captures both the energy and emotional depth of the game.

Persona 4 Golden is a masterpiece and one of the greatest JRPGs of all time.
