Persona 3 Reload is probably the best way to experience P3 for the first time, but there are plenty of reasons it's not perfect. I love that they kept the story pretty much the same with maybe a few additions to add onto the development of Strega, but that also means it has the same issues as the original. The gameplay is more fun, but it's also not that challenging after a while. The boss fights suffer most because they were so easy that I had to purposely underlevel myself at a certain point to feel challenged. The social links are really damn good this time around, and they have fun stories. Overall, this game is probably the best way to be introduced to P3 and a good companion piece, but even as far as remakes go, it's not the best out there.
