Soul Hacker 2
If the name doesn’t mean anything to you, Soul Hackers 2 is still part of the Shin Megami Tensei franchise, which has become famous in recent years for the Persona sub-series that dwarfed it in terms of popularity. So if you’ve played Persona 5 Royal, you’re on familiar ground here, because it’s also a Japanese role-playing game with turn-based combat against demons, with an elemental weakness system. If we don’t find the dating sim and visual novel parts of Persona in Soul Hackers 2, the latter stands out for its ultra-colorful cyberpunk aesthetic and those end-of-the-world themes.
