Music to Level Up Your Day: Persona 5

I don't know much about musical theory, nor am I a musically inclined person. However, I do love to listen to video game soundtracks. They can be a powerful listening experiences in their own right, or be as evocative as the scores composed for film. Each of these posts will feature a sampling of music tracks from a single game title, or series/franchise in some rare cases. A complete list of these can be found on the Video Game Music page.

Composer: Shoji Meguro

Singer: Yumi Kawamura and Lyn Inaizumi

Release Date: September 2016

A high school student known by the nickname "Joker" is forced to transfer to a new school in Tokyo after being put on probation for assault. Joker and his friends then became a vigilante group known as the "Phantom Thieves" who can traverse a supernatural realm born from the subconscious desires of humans. In this realm it is possible to steal the malevolent intent from the hearts of individuals using physical manifestations of their psyche known as "Personas".

Meguro had full creative freedom on the soundtrack and over a three-year period produced about 80% of the tracks. Seven tracks were performed in English by Lyn, a jazz and soul music singer.

"I was extremely particular about my life, my grades, my public image! All so someone would want me around! But you... You're just some criminal trash living in an attic! How does someone like you have things that I don't!?" -Goro Akechi

Top Best / Worst Games of 2024

Image
This is an annual list of my personal best and worst games of the year. To clarify, these are not literally the "best and worst" games of the year. They are titles I enjoyed or was let-down by based on my own preferences and expectations. Most of the "disappointing" titles are not even what I would consider bad games. They just weren't for me or were not what I was expecting. All the games on this list I have either played to completion or abandoned. I have ordered the list based on my overall enjoyment (one being the best) of games I played in 2024. Most of the games listed here will not be brand new 2024 releases. They are games I played in 2024 that were new to me.
