    Great RPG but weak port. The game runs great in PS2 but it has a lot of lag in Switch. And it's expensive for a old game

    70 dollars for the version with dante... I know it's a cult classic but this is a ps2 game. I know they added voice acting, easy mode, improved lighting and textures and widescreen support but come on.... 70 dollars for a ps2 game?! Day 1 dlc is pretty bad in general but this is one of the worst examples I've ever seen.

    Slow, repetitive and clunky. Not quite sure what the hype is with these guys. I didn't like P5 and I don't like this.

    Storywise, this classic jRPG is more relevant today than it was in 2003, as its tale of global apocalypse turned out to be a quite fitting metaphor for what we have all experienced in the last 12 months. Nocturne’s age is obviously noticeable, but for a game this huge the quality of the remaster is acceptable, even if Atlus’ enormous work only managed to turn the clock back by a couple of years.

    Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne is rereleased as a HD Remaster in all but name. It is still the same great-but- niche JRPG from the past, though. (Issue #4, p.60]

    Shin Megami Tensei is back on modern hardware and modern players will have their fair share of problems with it. I’d recommend this only to very patient, challenge-hungry JRPG veterans.
