If the goal of Persona 3 Reload is to modernize a classic JRPG from the PlayStation 2 era for a new generation of players, then it is undeniably a success. While there may be some legitimate disappointment over the lack of content from Persona 3 FES and Portable, what is here is more than enough to cement Reload’s status as a solid remake that delivers the now definitive version of Persona 3.
Persona 3 Reload is by far the best game in the franchise. With plenty
of new content, significant visual and performance improvements,
fine-tuned adjustments in all gameplay systems, and a captivating story,
it feels fresh on today's consoles. Addictive and stylish, Atlus's JRPG
is more than just a well-crafted remake, it's one of the greatest games
of the decade.
Amazing game, great characters and engaging story. The way the game works, switching you back and forth between combat and social life makes it never get old with many characters to interact with making you want to go back and play more after finishing your first run. Please play this if you haven’t!
Depois de terminar o Persona 5 (base), eu me apaixonei pela franquia e imediatamente comprei o P3 Reload na pré-venda. A expectativa era alta e o jogo se manteve à altura aqui. Os visuais, tanto da interface quanto do jogo, são absolutamente incríveis. A tradução para português ajuda demais a recomendar o jogo,Sobre o jogo em si, é um espetáculo de história, visual e jogabilidade, só que me fez apreciar ainda mais o 5 e entender porque o 5 foi tão arrebatador em tirar a franquia da bolha. O início do 5 é muito avassalador e o 3 ainda tem uma estrutura muito lenta em comparação… os personagens são muito cativantes, mas os próprios vínculos sociais do 3 são bem abaixo, por serem os primeiros da franquia (salvo algumas poucas exceções que são muito acima da média). O tártaro acabei gostando bastante, apesar de ter odiado os Mementos no 5. A forma como você ganha as cartas é viciante e engajante, apesar de bem repetitivo. A história é ótima e o final é bem acima do 5, o que me surpreendeu muito.Gostei demais do jogo, mas talvez não tivesse aproveitado tanto se fosse o meu primeiro contato com a franquia. De qualquer forma, o trabalho de revitalizar um jogo tão datado para os dias atuais, sem perder a essência do original é um trabalho incrível por si só. Excelente para quem já tem contato com a franquia ou JRPGs no geral, recomendo muito para estes.
Revisiting a classic is an exciting proposition, yet there are always concerns about respecting the original. Persona 3 Reload doesn’t quite address all the shortcomings of its previous renditions, nor does it include all the extras added over the years. However, it’s another incredible take that stands proudly alongside the other stellar versions of the game. With all of its new additions and features, especially the updated visuals, rewind function, and new battle mechanics, Reload is the best way to experience Persona 3.
A great remake that updates the Atlus classic to modern times with a new and stylish audiovisual section and with a multitude of interesting novelties and improvements. It is not the definitive version of this wonderful RPG, but it is the best and most enjoyable one, with an unforgettable story and characters, although the “dungeon crawling” in the Tartarus tower may not connect equally well with everyone.
As with all Persona games, Persona 3 Reload takes its time, both with its 80 hour story and its slow progression throughout the ingame months. If that's your thing, then there's an amazing game here with an interesting story, fun characters and outstanding music. The combat doesn't always hold up, but it mostly does and it's fun when it works.
If you’re already a Persona fan, there’ll probably be enough sheer Persona-ness for you to forgive all the shameless grinding and recycling. For curious newcomers, a lot will depend on whether or not the look and sound of the game push your buttons. If it doesn’t, steer clear, as I definitely wouldn’t recommend it as a gameplay experience. And if it does, you might enjoy it, but the more refined Persona 5 would still be a better entry point to the series.
Just like P4 Golden and P5 Royal, Atlus made another masterpiece with this one.
If you enjoyed any of the previous Persona games, you will feel right at home with this one.
It's also a great starting point if you're looking to get into Persona games.
Very good and faithful remake. Brought down by it being a remake of persona 3 so it has alot of trash in it from the original. Huge oversight keeping the original social links in because half of them **** balls.
Love the persona series. I will say though I am very disapointed at the removal of multiple features. Atlus has this habit of reselling the same game and removing important features; in this case certain social links, the FemC, and also the answer. We may or may not get these things as dlc but overall its a business model I can no longer support. It leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. Newer fans may enjoy this one if they have yet to experience it. The same might not be true for veterans who have played the originals or even p3p.
This game is a huge steaming pile of garbage. The greedy developers are charging $70 for an indie quality mobile game. The graphics are a joke. This whole "art style" stuff is just an excuse for developers to be cheap and lazy. When I pay $70, I expect top-notch AAA quality. The physics are trash. The animations are laughable. The soundtrack is horrible. The "triple brown meow" song is cringeworthy. The songs are even worse when you engage in battle. The "Meh meh meh meh" and "beh beh baby baby beh" songs are next level cringe, it sounds like it was recorded by a bunch of goats/sheep using autotune. The dialogue is cringeworthy. You cannot enter buildings or rooms in real-time. It is the same garbage as GTA San Andreas where the protagonist opens a door and the screen fades to black. And just like San Andreas, the shop interiors are somehow magically bigger than the strip mall itself. I remember when so many people criticized Life is Strange for its terrible lip-syncing, but for some reason people are quiet about this game's terrible lip-syncing despite the fact that this game does it worse with the price being nearly triple that of LiS. ● Judging by what I have seen online and the massive praise for Persona 5, I believe this game is an internet darling. Are you freaking kidding me? How is it games like Saints Row, GTA Trilogy remaster and Starfield get roasted for their quality while the Persona series gets a pass, despite these games being full-priced? Whether you like this game or not, there's no denying the game's quality is on par with shovelware games. Case in point, take a look at the non-character NPCs, they don't even have a freaking face. It's the same garbage as Persona 5. To make matters worse, the faceless NPCs look worse than the ones in the GTA 6 pre-alpha leaks. That is embarrassing. Not even EA or COD devs are willing to sell you a game in its pre-alpha state for $70. It only gets worse from here, these NPCs walk in one direction and magically disappear. When I was talking to characters, those faceless NPCs were magically walking through me rather than walking around me. The developers were too cheap and lazy for AI pathfinding. These cheapskates refused to have every line voice acted and the protagonist is mute. ● There is no multiplayer. So once you beat the story, there is literally not a reason to play this game again. Charging $70 for a game with no replay value is a cash grab. The story is trash. The gameplay is boring and repetitive. When I pay $70, I expect a combat system with depth and detail. All the developers did in this game is put pretty lights during every move, to give players the illusion that the game is fun. None of that is fun for me. This game uses the laziest form of combat imaginable, and that's turn-based combat. Sometimes when I attack a short enemy with the sword, the protagonist just brandishes the sword against the air instead, and somehow that magically damages the enemies. It's pathetic that even with laziest combat system, they are still too lazy to make the moves compatible with short enemies. The textures in this game make me want to puke. I got this for $40 but it's still too expensive at that price. I don't recommend this game at all, unless you want to support laziness.
SummaryYour story begins again. Memento Mori.
