When I originally reviewed Persona 4 Dancing All Night, I said it was a game with a clear passion for dance. It surprised me with how involved its story was, and the level of presentation it brought to its dance sequences. By comparison, Persona 5 Dancing in Starlight feels workmanlike.The word I’d use to describe P5D isn’t “passionate”, but rather “competent”. It’s made well enough, and if you enjoy the music of Persona 5 you’ll probably enjoy Persona 5 Dancing in Starlight. But it’s missing so many of the little touches that made P4D feel like a loving entry in the world of Persona and lays bare what P5D is–a spin off entry to get more money out of fans.

Of all the things I expected from Persona 4 Dancing a deep, detailed story to set it up was not one of them. What initially started as a collaboration with the developer of the Hatsune Miku games eventually moved onto a new team. Just as well, as tonally Dancing is less Love Live! style candy colored idol celebrations and more Perfect Blue. Well, maybe with a little less ultra-violent murder.
