Persona 5: A Game about the Mask and the Wearer

What the Game is all about

Persona 5 is a game about revealing what is hidden behind the Mask. The Game takes this literally, with the usage of masks and alter egos that come alive when the main characters are in another World, with Personas to help them go against only the most wicked people of the city. Persona 5 is an anti-corruption Game, also. Many people have taken it as an allegory for capitalism, as a reoccuring message the Game states is the ability for the little guy to defeat their oppresors, which many anti-capitalists recognise as a key mentality for the Worker. The Game also features an excellent soundtrack with jazzy tracks, perfect study beats, and lyrics that emphasise the overall message: "There has to be change, and we're the only ones capable of that change."
