Students who can enter a hidden hour at midnight climb a tower full of shadows while living out a normal school year by day. Reload is a full remake of the 2006 PS2 classic that started the modern Persona formula.
Kit's verdict · 8.8/10
A slick, faithful remake of the most haunting Persona.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Gorgeous modern presentation and new soundtrack versions
- Sharp combat with Theurgy finishers
- Moody story about mortality
Not so much
- Tartarus floors get repetitive
- Missing the PSP version's female protagonist route
Play it if players who want the classic Persona experience with modern comforts.
Skip it if anyone who dislikes long grinding sections in one dungeon.
