Persona 4 Golden Nintendo Switch Review - Is It Worth It? 

This is still my all-time favorite RPG. Just an absolute masterpiece!

I have beaten this game 3-4 times over the 10 years I owned it on Vita. It's an amazing experience. Genuinely a 10 out of 10 for me. Even the weakest part with the dungeons doesn't detract from the game as they are still engaging with the combat. The story is perfect with some of the best arcs in the franchise. Can't say enough good about it. Must buy game.

Having spent over 70 hours in P5R since Christmas and loving it, this one has been on radar for ages given its popularity online. Looks right up my ally

these characters feel like real friends by the end because of how deep the characterization is. this game is a masterpiece

I played through P5R for the Switch, then immediately restarted it again because it was that good. When I get done with Strikers, I'll probably start this one. Hoping there's a physical release for this and P3P by then!

I played this for the first time after Persona 5 and fell in love. This was during the height of the pandemic when no one could go anywhere, and I wanted to throw myself into a game as a bit of escapism. I got the Platinum trophy for it and I look forward to doing so again!

Hands down my favorite video game of all time. I've never been so immersed in a story or game before or since. P3 and P5 were both great, but P4's intimate small-town setting and focus on overcoming typical insecurities of young people, rather than world-ending predicaments, makes it the standout for me.

I’m always happy to see so many people excited about my favorite game of all time it honestly changed my life when I was about 12 so it just makes me smile so many other people can experience it

My first Persona, I completed it in PC. Thoroughly recommended for anyone that wants some JRPG goodness.

The soundtrack is probably my favorite video game soundtrack of all time! It's so damn good and I listen to it on repeat for hours. 😎😎👍🏼

Still my favorite Persona game

This game was the reason I got a PS Vita and it was worth every penny. Followed every bit of Persona 5 news in time for the release on PS4 and now I'm hearing rumours of a Persona 3 full remake in the works 👀

I really love the other Personas but this one will always be my favorite. I grew up with it 😍 I am German and I learned English with this game. I have so many memories with p4 and I can't wait to play it tomorrow and the best thing, it has now German subtitles 😍😍😍❤️❤️

I can't wait to hear "Every day's great at your Junes" from Nanako once again 😅

What makes persona 4 golden so good: 1% story 1% gameplay 98% Chie

The music, the art style, the characters, everything is so good! I finished P3 two times, and P5 once, now I'm playing P4 and it is an amazing experience. Can't get enough of this series.

The last JRPG I had played was Final Fantasy 7...when it was NEW. Also I've never been much into Anime at all. So when I grabbed this game on Steam (mainly because it was on sale and all the reviews were calling it "one of the best games of all time"), I didn't really know what to expect and it was a massive change of pace compared to what I normally play. It took quite a while to get into it but ultimately I ended up loving it and now I'm halfway through P5 Royal. Persona 5's characters haven't yet grabbed me overall quite on the level that P4's did, but maybe that will change. Except Morgana--I constantly wish I could punt that damn cat into traffic

I know some of us are too young to remember, but It was because of P3's and P4's success that P5 was a AAA release in the first place. P4 was particularly successful after the breakout Persona 3. Persona 3 saw three unique releases (FES & P3P), while Persona 4 saw the game perfected with the Golden variant. All this before Persona 5 was a glimmer in the eye. Persona was already mainstream. P5 was a beneficiary of the franchise's mainstream success, not its progenitor.

Still better graphics than Pokémon.

I was really hoping for a physical release for this and 3. Kinda sad there’s not even a Japanese release available on playasia or something

This is a game that no matter how many times I complete it, I will still go back and reply at least once a year and not change a single thing about my play thru but still enjoy it almost as much as I did the first time. I say almost only because your first play thru of this game is special and just can’t be matched. Absolutely worth $20 Also, 60fps on the switch is a very nice touch.

Best soundtrack to an RPG game next to Final Fantasy VII and Kingdom Hearts 1&2.

Ahhh I love this game. The music takes me back to my Vita. Can’t wait to grab this again.

I fell in love with the series from P4 and I think it’s worth playing this before 5R so you can see the progression on game mechanics and such. The music here is also amazing

For some reason I adored this game so so so much more in comparison to persona 5! I love this game so much ❤️

This is going to be a beauty on the OLED

I'm so hyped for this game put 200+ hours into ps5 royal and never experienced 4 golden but I'm 100% sure I'm going to end up putting 200+ hours into this can't wait

I put crazy hours into this on my ps vita time for the switch now

The characters and their relationship in this game is some of the best in any fiction.

Just beat Persona 5 after 103 hours and WOO BOY was it easily the best game I've played in years. Can't wait to jump into this, heard it's dungeons and such arent as great but the social links, story and combat still are unbelievably amazing. Again - can't fucking wait.

Persona is a fantastic series and for me, P4G always will have a special place in my heart (along with the P4 Animation) - the whole cast is charming and the town of Inaba is famous for its beefsteak. What’s not to love??? Will pick up the port on the Switch even though I’ve Platinum’ed this game on Vita and PC😅

the soundtrack alone is already giving me enough reason to play again

Played vanilla persona 5 on the ps4, and ever since I heard 3 and 4 were coming to switch I have been ever so patiently waiting, AND NOW ITS HERE!

Getting this release. Just wish there was a physical version :-)

The UI in Persona 5 Royal was so damn stylish that this kinda leaves me wanting more

I honestly am thankful of my brother getting me the Vita and amongst the bundle of games he bought happens to be P4 Golden. Love the story, enjoyed the gameplay, ups and downs with relationships. Even someone like me back then who didn't understand having a Waifu got into loving a character so much, she became my absolute favorite in all the games I've played (Second being Lucina who ironically was in the game that got me into Fire Emblem).

Congrats on now taking these more important reviews. You're doing great, Felix!

All three persona games loved them but the first one who got me in this series was persona 5 royal the music storyline combat here in golden is the same feeling i had when i started playing persona 5

I think I'll pass on the P3P port but I'm definitely down to buy this for the second time

Ooooh the music, I'm ready to relisten to this sound track on my switch babyyyyy😍😍

What a golden opportunity this is!

This is the only Persona game I've beaten so far, but it is definitely the best JRPG I've ever played. The only gripe I have with it is that dungeons are pretty tedious and repetitive and the battles become boring soon, but the story and characters are so good that I was willing to overlook it. Now, even a few years after beating it, I feel nostalgic and want to return to the sweet town of Inaba and meet all of these wonderful characters again every time I hear the game's amazing soundtrack.

My favourite persona is still persona 5,but this is a really great game as well

Best in the series, easily. Strong JRPG game with characters that will warm ur heart and soul

This game is something extremly special ❤

Going back to Persona 4 is like seeing an old friend and being happy that they’re just how you remember them

i just get this game with a discount 5 days ago, and i've spend 25 hours on it already. if i still unemployed i'll probably finish it in like a week LOL. even without discount, those $20 price tag really worth it!

I got it on Steam last year, wished I waited to get it on the Switch (never thought Atlus would change their minds on a Nintendo port of their main persona games). Have Royal on PC, but will get P3 on Switch for sure.

Persona 5 Royal is one of the greatest RPGs ever made. If you enter the series there, at first, it's hard to get into Persona 4, because the vibe is so different. But give it an hour or two to get to know the town and characters you realize that this is just a slower, less flashy, much more intimate story. Once you understand what it is, you fall in love with it. It's not the best JRPG, like 5 is, but it's top five to top ten easily. It's a must play.

Felix my man you gotta play Persona! (It’s called the Velvet Room - you kept calling it the “Vellet” Room)

As my first contact with the series, P4G will forever have a special place in my gamer heart.

I still have it on Vita. Definitely would try it on Switch. I love the sound track

This game is getting a physical release on multiple consoles from Limited Run Games starting tomorrow, until December 10th. If anyone knows, will this game make any sense if I haven't played any others in the series?

48 hours feels like forever.....CAN'T WAIT AHHH

I got a PS TV just to play Persona 4. It became my favorite in the series and one of my favorite games ever. It has more heart poured into it than any game I’ve ever played.

I felt sad when the game ended because I became so attached to the characters. It feels like you are the one who is in the game. 10/10.

One of my favorite games of all time. The only thing that stops me from buying it a third time on Switch is the lack of a physical version. Glad to see it is 60fps though!

Personal 4 Golden & Resident Evil 4 are my all time favourite in PS2 era. I WILL BUYING BOTH FOR MY SWITCH OLED OR SWITCH 2 😍🧡

Imho the best Persona game I've ever played. And I've beaten P5 Royal multiple times already at this point, but Persona 4 Golden is still my favourite.

I remember playing it on ps2 and just not being able to comprehend it and then I played it on vita and smashed through it 3 times. My biggest regret is still selling my vita. I can’t wait to play it again

Please, a physical version yet. ATLUS, Nintendo, or if necessary, LRG, give us something?!

Every days great at, your, junes~!

this game is a must play

Is the song at the end "ill face myself "

Thank you so much, i was wondering if i should pick this game up and you helped a bunch. Thank you again.

Can you buy it as a first-time player? Never played any Persona before. Thank you!

Coming from someone who has never played persona 4, I had absolutely no idea that Teddie was so big

I originally played this on the Vita and am replaying it on the Steam Deck. If there is a physical copy for the Switch, I may need to pick that up to have. Classic game.

Please Atlus give us a physical version of this, as well as P3P. I loved this on Vita, but my Vita was stolen ages ago and I would love to own this again on Switch.

SP conservation is really only an issue in the first dungeon only, just like P5

I am actually love The Original Chie VA, i hope there is a remake for the original too.. :(

Chie alone is worth the purchase price

Today I bought Switch for this, this is my third p4 purchase in last 3 months

I play this game from PS2 persona 4..and play it on vita as persona 4 golden..play like 7 or 8 times..I still want to play it again on switch.. ❤️

As someone who had only played P4 on the PS2....The small improvements on the game are a welcome surprise. Though....even with that you defenitely see the massive progress they have made with P5 and P5R ^^' I know that would have been too much work bakc in the day, but had they improved the dungeons it would be a 10/10 easily. Know it settles at a very good 8/10 for me.

Played this game and the vita a few years ago and loved it. Glad I can play on an actual TV now!🙂

The vellet room

Were the fogs, or the lack thereof, from the Vita and Steam release fixed?

Bruh asked if it's worth it lol it was literally a system seller.

I have Persona 3 FES on my phone but I can't wait to play Persona 4 Golden on switch

Loved this game. Beat the steam ver last year. Probably put 100hrs over 5 months

Have the original ps2 copy but haven’t been able to finish it. I’ll get this one and be committed

Did I get the game when it released on Steam? yes Will I get it on Nintendo Switch? YES!

While I preferred Persona 5 more, I need to give this game another shot. I only got about 30 hours in on my Vita before I just got tired and bounced off it. Just hearing that music brings back memories.

I can’t sort out my feelings for this game, but I’m sure I’ll grab it on sale in the future

This looks great. It is clearly based on the steam version with the upscaled textures. It is WAY better looking than the ps2 release.

Atlas please release this game in a physical format.

Finished this game for the first time recently, my first persona game and absolutely fantastic, if anyone (like me) wanted to play persona 3 fes after this then I would recommend emulating it and installing a controllable party member mod, the combat workes but it was just so boring untill I installed that mod that I almost stopped playing, I want to play the game not have it play itself for me

Does this game run differently on PS5 versus on the switch?

I can’t wait to play my favorite game for the first time lol 😂

I hope they release a physical copy

As great as persona 5 is, persona 4 is still my all time favorite jrpg

I've been playing vanilla P4 on aethersx2 for the last couple months getting ready for this. Fighting margarette soon

Yes. No video, just yes.

Not really a review of the game on switch but more a review of the gameplay and a synopsis of the gameplay / actions. Would've wanted to see more of the "this is what it's like on switch" aspect that makes your videos so original. Great videos overall and love this game, but felt this one was more of a summary and less of a review/what we typically see from ya'll.

I feel sorry for those who didn't get the chance to (or chose not to) play P4G on Vita. It was perfection. This is next best thing though.

Do yourselves a favor and get it on steam, installing the Community Enhancement Patch. Much better experience IMO

I've played this game 4 or 5 times on steam. I love it so much and the music! 💜✨

does it have japanese voices ?

I enjoyed this much more than persona 5. And I actually played persona 5 first as my first persona game. It's just more charming
