The excellent Persona 5 became the first JRPG in more than four years (after Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch in February 2013) to reach the top spot in the UK retail charts this week, while the top seller of the last two weeks, Mass Effect: Andromeda, tumbled down to fifth (-53% in sales), in what is likely another tightly contested chart. The re-release of Lego City Undercover managed to score eighth position on the all formats chart, but was only ranked second in the battle of Lego games, with Lego Worlds in third.
Other new releases this week included Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition (23rd) and Yo-Kai Watch 2 (splits SKUs meant only Bony Spirits in 36th was ranked). Below you can see the charts in full:
