Persona 3 Reload is a faithful remake to the original and absolutely succeeds in matching and surpassing the original in quality. The story and characters are the most emotionally driven that they've ever been and with the updated visuals and combat it works to make a very enjoyable and worthwhile game. Due to it being a remake, there are certain parts of the game that don't age particularly well, specifically Tartarus is an absolute slog that feels terrible to play through and ends up being generally unrewarding. A stellar game, held back slightly by some outdated aspects.
