I would have loved Persona 3 Reload when I was 14. Around there, I’d say I was most in love with the series, and Persona 3 stood at the top. I’d go as far as saying that with the first NieR and Metal Gear Solid 3, Persona helped shape what I thought stories in games could be.

Then, the game was remade for the PSP with Persona 3 Portable, which last year was rereleased on…

Atlus’ Persona games are one of those enduring series, and the company has already relaunched the last three entries across current-gen consoles, almost entirely unchanged from the original releases.But with Persona 3 Reload, the company chose the most confusing (and influential) entry to remake. There are some big changes you may not even notice if you haven’t…
