Another entry in the series of action music-rhythm games that utilize the soundtrack from the main entries of the jRPG Persona series developed by Atlus. The gameplay mechanics are based on simple principles and – similarly to other music games – focus on pressing buttons at the right time, when their symbols appear on the screen.
Persona 5: Dancing Star Night for PS4 and PSV is an action music-rhythm game in which the player can listen to music from Persona 5 soundtrack. Together with Persona 3: Dancing Moon Night, which was released at the same time, the title is a direct sequel to Persona 4: Dancing All Night, a game that debuted in 2014 on PlayStation Vita. The game was created by SEGA and Atlus.
The gameplay in Persona 5: Dancing Star Night for PS4 and PSV is based on simple principles. Similarly to many other music games, the player must press buttons at right time, when their symbols appear on the screen – all of that to the rhythm of selected song.

Persona 5: Dancing Star Night is powered by engine and technology from Persona 5. The game features a few dozen of songs from Persona 5. Parts of them are remixes created by artists invited by the developer to cooperation. There are also a few completely new tracks featured as a bonus.

Game Ratings for Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight Video Game.
GameSpot: 8 / 10 by Michael Higham
By putting Persona 5's soundtrack at the forefront, Dancing In Starlight provides an exciting rhythmic twist to the bold style of the original RPG.
God is a Geek: 7 / 10 by Mikhail Madnani
Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight is a rhythm game that is very good but one that should've been released later on so it could've had a more varied soundtrack with better remixes.
Reno Gazette-Journal: 7.5 / 10 by Jason Hidalgo
Persona 5 fans get a last surprise as their favorite characters return to hit the dance floor in “Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight.” It could use more content and it also doesn’t have a full-fledged story mode like “Persona 4: Dancing All Night.” At the same time, the mechanics are solid and the soundtrack sounds great as ever. Even if you saw this one coming, it’s still a fun romp for Persona fans who enjoy rhythm games and want to see their favorite Phantom Thieves hanging out with each other again.
