Summary

  • Persona 3 Reload offers a captivating reimagining of a genre-defining RPG with modern graphics and gameplay.
  • Deciding which version of Persona 3 is best is not simple, as both have unique qualities that make them stand out.
  • Direct comparisons can't definitively determine which version is better, as each offers a unique experience worth exploring.

Persona 3 Reload is being touted by Atlus as the new, definitive version of Persona 3, but deciding which of the many iterations of the game is the "definitive" one isn't quite as cut and dry as it might seem. To look into it, I played both Persona 3 Reload and Persona 3 Portable to try and see which one was better.

As is always the case with direct comparisons like this, finding an answer is a little more complicated than definitively saying that one is better than the other since that fails to asses a piece of art as a whole.
