I can’t really judge that because Persona 4 golden is still on my pile of shame. And since everyone tells me 1&2 are not worth playing i don’t consider to play them. So i have played Persona 5 (Royal) and Persona 3 Reload. I would rank Persona 5 (Royal) above Persona 3 Reload since all the characters have their special arc and get a proper introduction. Some Persona 3 characters have very minimal story.
I’d say to anyone that enjoys a good story and can handle old-school dungeon design that Persona 2: Innocent Sin is absolutely worth playing. It’s a clever concept, uncomfortably relevant today, and likely still one of a kind. It’s still one of my top stories in the genre. I was less impressed with Eternal Punishment, but it does continue the story.

If my backlog wouldn’t be so big i would probably consider it. I think about it in a few years again.
