Is it still worth playing?

Atlus' 2016 role playing game for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, set over a school year in Tokyo and governed by a day and night cycle and the weather. Time is the resource you manage. Each day is split between classes and Confidants, the relationships you build over the year, while eight Phantom Thieves are recruited along the way. The dungeons come in two kinds: Palaces, built by hand with one per villain, and Mementos, generated at random. In both, combat is turn based, and hitting an enemy's weakness knocks it down and earns an extra turn. The look is as designed as the systems, with a red, black and white interface and an acid jazz score. A year of school turned into a rhythm of days, dungeons and people still gives it a structure of its own today.
