Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance has been receiving wide praise for the way it has improved on the original, taking to heart many of the critiques the title received back in 2021. Among quality-of-life additions like quicksaving and greater plot consideration in showing its characters' ideals, Vengeance continues to hone the SMT series' greatest strength: its demons. Shin Megami Tensei 5 gave its demons plenty of personality through gorgeous animations and dialogue in side quests and negotiations, and Vengeance wields this strength to take things even further; through the Demon Haunt feature, the protagonist can converse not only with his human allies and Nahobino counterpart, Aogami, but his demon party as well.
