What do you all think? Persona 5 ok for a 12 year old? He really, really wants it, but the reviews I’m finding indicate that it’s better suited for older teens. Thoughts?

I would… not recommend it for a 12 year old. It contains like, actual Mature Themes. Not like “Tits and blood!” (Not that these are entirely missing) but like, the very first section of the plot surrounds a teacher who is… heavily suggested to be coercing students to have sex with him.
