Quietly sitting at an 85 average. The algorithm never did this one any favors. A role-playing game built for the long haul — the kind you lose weekends to. A single-player game with no interest in being anything else. Respect.

About this game

Shin Megami Tensei V, the fifth numbered game of the Shin Megami Tensei series, is a role-playing video game set in modern-day Tokyo. It will feature returning gameplay elements from previous games, such as the ability to fuse demons, along with new mechanics.

The protagonist, a high school student living an ordinary life, wanders into another world called Da'at. He then fuses with a mysterious man and becomes a Nahobino, a forbidden being, throwing himself into a battle between gods and demons. The ambitions of god and human clash amidst the horror of a dying world. Neither human nor demon, the newly-forged Nahobino and his friends must decide what is worth saving... and prepare to sacrifice everything in its name. In a world without its Creator, which path will you choose?
