Shin Megami Tensei IV

 I have been playing Shin Megami Tensei IV for the past couple of weeks, and I do believe I will be penning a review for this wonderful title.The narrative thus far is a suspenseful tease. There are a lot of things left under-wraps that I hope will be addressed. But the story is, in my opinion, interesting and it keeps you pushing forward, even in the wake of what is, by modern standards, a tough cookie to crack.  Now I won't go on about the punishing difficulty being a negative, but I will say potential purchasers should be aware that there is a fair

bit of challenge (read: challenge and not unreasonable difficulty). Though once you get a hang of the ins and outs of the press turn system, of previous Shin Megami Tensei series fame, you will be able to appreciate the very unassuming complexity of the streamlined, quick paced combat system--you will be greatly invigorated and truly begin to enjoy the game for the sense of achievement and thrill it can provide.
