Still sorting through my more complex thoughts about this one (and might make an entire video at some point), but it's definitely the definitive way to experience Persona 3 unless you're a glutton for weird game design. For everything lost, for every cut mechanic and awkward Unreal Engine-lit environment, there is also something beautiful gained. It's a fool's errand to expect any remake to evoke the exact vibe of the original experience, but Reload maintains the heart and soul where it matters.
