"EOS speedrun": Persona 5's latest spin-off becomes the worst-rated Atlus game on Steam as reviews plummet over gacha that's even more "aggressive" in the global version

Despite having the best launch out of any of the Persona 5 games on Steam, Persona 5: The Phantom X seems to be falling out of favor. Just a couple of weeks since the spin-off's global launch, it's become the worst-reviewed Atlus game on Steam.

Previously, that title was held by Soul Hackers 2, which has a Mixed overall rating with 65% positive reviews. The new Persona 5 spin-off (developed by Black Wings Game Studio for its original, more limited launch) also has a Mixed rating at the time of writing, but only 57% of its reviews are positive, with a huge spike of negative reviews hitting the JRPG earlier this week.
