I recently reviewed Persona 3 Reload and was blown away by how much it improved over the original while remaining faithful to the source material. The story and characters have been expanded with additional cutscenes and lore, the gameplay is faster-paced and features exciting new mechanics, and there's a ton of quality-of-improvements to make the game more inviting for newcomers while removing elements that held the original Persona 3 back.

I’ve found that having now played a Persona game for each of the last three Persona 3 Januarys in a row, the series, and Persona 3 Reload especially, makes for some of the best video game escapism you can find. And that’s an extremely valuable selling point during a month that can be a real slog.
