About Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth
Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth brings together characters from Persona 3, 4, and 5 for a crossover adventure that feels like a fever dream. Developed by P Studio and published by Atlus, this title launched on the Nintendo 3DS in late 2018. It serves as a direct sequel to the original Q but expands the roster significantly. The story drops players into a surreal movie-themed labyrinth where these iconic protagonists must work together to solve mysteries. You control a party from the different timelines as they navigate this shifting world. It is a strategy RPG that prioritizes its massive cast and interconnected stories over open exploration.
Gameplay
Sessions consist of exploring dungeon-like areas called Labyrinths before triggering turn-based combat encounters. You select your active party members from a pool of twenty-eight characters drawn across the three source games. Combat relies on exploiting enemy weaknesses to trigger Critical Hits or chain attacks with multiple allies. Between battles, you manage equipment, fuse new Personas, and interact with party members to raise social stats. The game features a unique movie theme where scenes play out like film reels during exploration. You switch between different characters to unlock specific paths or solve puzzles. Each dungeon has a distinct visual style that matches the source material of the included Persona entries.
What Players Think
PlayPile data shows this title holds strong favor with its user base. The community rating sits at 87.9 out of 100 based on 28 reviews, while Metacritic awards it an 81. Average playtime reaches around 45 hours for a standard run. Completion rates suggest players stick with the long main story to unlock all character routes. Review snippets highlight the massive roster as a major selling point. Community moods lean heavily toward "satisfied" and "nostalgic." Users frequently mention the high replay value due to the sheer number of playable characters. Many note that the difficulty curve spikes near the end but remains manageable with proper preparation.
PlayPile's Take
This game is for anyone who owns a 3DS and wants more time with these specific characters. The price on secondary markets varies but rarely exceeds standard cartridge costs. You can chase down all twenty-eight achievements if you want full completion. It is not a perfect experience since the dungeon design repeats often after a certain point. The combat feels slightly slower than modern entries in the main series due to its 3DS roots. You should buy this only if you care about the cast more than graphical fidelity. The roster size alone justifies the purchase for fans of the franchise.
