    It's literally just a PS2 game, it's clunky and looks hideous, the story is shallow, you just walk around a dull wasteland and do turn based battles, thoughts I'd like it because of Persona but I didn't I rarely drop games but I dropped this a few hours in

    As a remaster, it's serviceable. As a game, it's still great. Some of the quality of life improvements in this remaster make this unique JRPG more accessible to the general audience without losing anything from its PS2 charm. If you want a different kind of JRPG (no heroes, no saving the world), this is your chance.

    Shin Megami Tensei III is the best game in the series, but it deserves more than what this remastered version offers in technical department.

    This game has such a rich history and I sincerely wish this remaster reaches people who appreciate it or who never had access to it before – after buying it on sale, of course.
