    The Answer gets a facelift with the same coat of paint that Persona 3 received, but retains all the shortcomings that made it the most divisive extra content in the series.

    Episode Aigis is a great addition to Persona 3 Reload, if only for the additional story content and new battle challenges. But this episode sheds too much from the base game, leaving a tedious adventure in the wake for those looking for The Answer.

    Despite all of this, Episode Aigis is still The Answer at its core, and its core is Twotarus. There are a few interesting story beats here, but you could just as easily experience them from watching a cutscene compilation, rather than running around the dungeon listening to them exclaim, “Oh, a treasure chest” and “A shadow. Should we fight it?” on repeat between being jumpscared by enemies that body you off screen. Episode Aigis is undoubtedly the best way to play The Answer and see its story, but if you don’t like Persona 3’s combat, you really need to ask yourself if it’s something you want to play at all.

    Persona 3: Reload - Episode Aigis is a decent finale to a game I adore, but there were too many times where I felt it was taking away more than it was giving. The story is absolutely worth finishing, and if your favourite part of the base game was Tartarus you’ll have a blast, but if you’re like me and prefer a balance between business and pleasure, you may be disappointed by what the DLC offers.
