    one of the best games I've ever played. The gameplay loop in tartarus is addicting, not to mention the amazing music throughout battles. The day time loop of grinding social links and social stats never gets old, either. The story is one of the best, themtically, and the ending is a tearjerker that will stick with you for years. Cannot recommend enough.

    Beyond excellent remake of an already legendary game. Over 80 hours of gameplay and story if you don’t skip any cutscenes.

    A great revisit to the world of Persona 3. The game recreates the story of the base game with some welcome gameplay updates that make your time in the world less tedious while still retaining the charm of the original. While the game does only include the base game content the FES content like The Answer has been announced at the time of this writing 03/08/2024 to be released soon as DLC. While this could have been included with the game to begin with (especially at the $70 entry price point) and can be seen as a nostalgia money grab like many other companies have started resorting to, for a newcomer this is still a great game therefore 4/5 -1 one star for money grab. If you’ve played the original and don’t care for the updated graphics not enough is changed for this to be a day 1 $70 buy

    So glad P3 got the remake treatment. P5 is one of my all-time favorite games and I struggled getting into the original P3 given its age.

    This remake should be the faithful remake with updated graphics every developer team should aspire to mimic with the same level of care effort and quality. If i were to recommend and introduce someone into the series this would be the go to option next to royal.

    Let me take you back to the early 2Ks when life was good and the sunshine wasn't burning holes your skin and the water was clean and crisp straight from the tap, where cheese in a a pizza crust was still something to admire and you could still get an enchirito from the bell, when the movies weren't just enter another generic marvel title and you could still when a free fry from the monopoly game at macs, a time when kids snacks were okay to be loaded with sugar and soda water ran like waterfalls from machines everwhere, a place where one could call home a friends house down the street. How could we forget those times, just let them go so easily anyway what were we talking about? Persona 3 Reload, oh yeah, it's good but the original flavor is better.

    I’ve been a fan of persona since I can’t tell you how long. I best 3 on portable and now reload came and I legitimately could not put it down. If you’re returning to this story the changes made are insanely good and blend into the story, if this is your first persona /megaten game then you’re making a great decision. I have beaten this already but I will be doing another run through.

    If you're a fan of Persona 5, the original P3, or haven't experienced any Persona previously, this game is absolutely worth your time. A great introductory point with plenty of extras to keep fans of the original on their toes. The music, visuals, gameplay loop, and characters are all fantastic. If you're a fan of JRPGs you owe it to yourself to give this game a shot.

    I'm only a few hours in, but so far, it's an amazing first experience of Persona 3. It's insane how well this game looks on the ps5. Almost everything so far has voice acting, and the english cast is great (Akihiko is the highlight). I not ready to recommend it or not recommend it at the moment since I'm not finished with the game, but from what I've seen so far, it's 5 stars.

    PS2 classic Reloaded

    Persona 3 was a turning point for the then fledgling spinoffs of the SMT series, introducing a plethora of game mechanics that have become staples all the way up to most recent entry, Persona 5. Now, the 2006 PS2 classic has been rebuilt from the ground up showing off a fresh flair and style for the current generation of consoles. Along with a plethora of quality of life changes, some picked from P3's many enhanced ports as well as changes made to the gameplay for the later installments of the franchise, Reload offers an experience that will be both familiar and new to any veterans of the franchise. For anybody cut their teeth on Persona 5 or its Royal updated port, do be warned that the dungeon crawling experience of Tartarus is a wildly different beast from the slow descent into the depths of Mementos. Likewise, players will find their after school activities not having nearly as many restrictions compared to Persona 5. Combat is fun and engaging and requires a good bit of strategy, and there are a myriad of ways to improve your party and acquire skills to make encounters go by faster.

    Very well done, and worth playing as a fan of the game. Bummer they couldn't roll out everything that happened with FES and Portable, but it still has the quality of life improvements that make it a fun way to reexperience the story.
