Persona 3 Reload is a remake of Persona 3, an iconic 2007 jRPG. It was developed by Atlus, the company in charge of the franchise.

Plot

Persona 3 Reload is set in a fictional Japanese town of Iwatodai, home to an unusual phenomenon. Every day a Dark Hour occurs at midnight, an additional hour during which most people turn into coffins. The exceptions are several students from Gekkoukan High School, who have other issues to deal with during that time. Each Dark Hour their school turns into a massive tower called the Tartarus, filled with monsters called Shadows. They're opposed by the SEES (Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad), a group of students tasked with fighting the monsters. They fight using the titular Personas, reflections of their hearts which reveal themselves in face of danger.

Persona Game Series

A series of jRPG games overseen by Atlus. The series was launched in 1996, by the game Revelations: Persona, which is a spin-off of the brand Shin Megami Tensei (originally known globally as Revelations). The production, which debuted on PlayStation consoles, was so successful that it eventually gave rise to a new, separate series. Although from the beginning the series was associated with PlayStation consoles, over the years it has also made its presence felt on other platforms.

Pure Nintendo: 9 / 10 by Kirk Hiner

Persona 3 Reload's strengths are in its details. The game's turn-based combat and social aspects should become repetitive, but they build effectively throughout. More importantly, the style, story, and characters are continually compelling, driving to a finish that will stick with you well after the game's finished.

Full Review

Metro GameCentral: 8 / 10

A solid, if strangely incomplete, remake which matches Persona 5 for presentation and has some of the most interesting and varied social link options of the whole series.

God is a Geek: 9.5 / 10 by Lyle Carr

  • Character Development and Story: The game is noted for its strong character arcs and emotional storytelling, with many players finding it deeply engaging and memorable. The themes of friendship and personal growth resonated with many.

The main cons of the game

  • Pacing Issues: Many reviewers pointed out significant pacing problems, particularly in the middle of the game where the story felt slow and stretched with long stretches of inactivity.
  • Tartarus Dungeon: The dungeon-crawling aspect of Tartarus was frequently criticized for being grind-heavy and repetitive, with some players feeling it detracted from the overall experience.
  • Social Links: Some social links were perceived as weak or underdeveloped, and the time management aspect of building relationships was noted as cumbersome, especially for newcomers.
  • DLC Pricing: The separate pricing for additional content, particularly "The Answer" epilogue, was seen as a negative aspect, with many feeling it should have been included in the base game.

The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users

  • Female Protagonist: Many players expressed disappointment over the absence of the female protagonist option from the original FES version, feeling it limited the narrative experience for some.
  • Additional Activities: Several reviews mentioned a lack of free time activities and locations to explore, which made the game feel less immersive compared to other entries in the series.
  • More Engaging Social Links: Users felt that the social link system could have been more robust, with more character interactions and depth to keep players engaged throughout the game.

Summary

  • Overall, Persona 3 Reload is recognized as a well-crafted remake that successfully modernizes many aspects of the original while retaining its core emotional impact. However, it faces criticism for pacing issues, repetitive gameplay elements, and the absence of certain features that could have enhanced the overall experience.
