Persona 3 Reload is simply put one of the most perfect games ever made. This game is one of the very few stories to make me almost tear up with its grippingly tragic story of the pain that comes from loss and the beauty that comes from life. There is not a single element of this story that I would change as every single character serves a purpose to the overarching narrative and immerses me deeper into the story Persona 3 wants me to witness. There are a few standout characters who stick with me throughout my entire playthrough and whose personal stories can feel very real at times making me more invested in these characters then I am for characters in most of the media I have played, seen or read in my life. The ending to this game will always remind me how well this series balances its genuine heart warming themes with its more depressing elements. Although some of the original soundtrack is superior, equally, there is enough new music in this game to keep me invested in the game. The gameplay is an upgrade in most areas from Persona 5 and obviously even better than its original ps2 counterpart.

Overall I give it a Masterpiece rating
