Despite the fairly high price point set for Persona 3 Reload's Expansion Pass, if you enjoyed and finished the base game, I can't help but recommend purchasing this. Every other DLC (including wave 1 & 2 of this pass) has been a mix of costumes, BGMs, and fan service Persona, which are all neat to have, but ultimately don't serve a purpose outside of changing up the Tartarus grind. However, Episode Aigis -The Answer- is a continuation of the main story, and serves as an excellent epilogue that every Persona 3 fan should experience. In this DLC, we're given a new dungeon to explore, a new party member, new Theurgies (some of which are Fusion Spells from past versions of P3 not in the base game), and even new side story content that wasn't present in the original version of Episode Aigis from P3 FES. I honestly can't emphasize enough just how important this part of story is to Persona 3, and am glad ATLUS was able to bring it to P3R.

Also WTF, Joker from Persona 5 is here!?

The Ratchet & Clank series is a classic Playstation platform shooter that was finally brought to PC, and I had an incredibly fun time playing R&C: Rift Apart on the Steam Deck. It basically ran perfectly, with the exception of a few small hitches during super action-packed scenes. Despite this game being the 12th entry in the series by Insomniac Games, I would still recommend this game to newcomers because of the enjoyable gun gameplay loop; and the fact that this is a story about being in an alternate dimension means it's almost a soft retelling of our protagonists' history.

Here's are the important graphics settings I chose for optimal Steam Deck performance as well:

Display Mode
Display Resolution: 1280 x 800
Refresh Rate: 60 Hz
Vsync: Half Refresh Rate
*Half refresh rate sets the actual fps to 30, and I also disabled the Steam Deck's built in frame limiter

Upscaling
Upscale Method: IGTI (Insomniac Games' Temporal Injection)
Upscale Quality: Ultra Quality
Dynamic Resolution Scaling: Off

Texture
Texture Quality: Medium
Texture Filtering: 2x Anisotropic

Light & Shadow
Shadow Quality: Low
Ambient Occlusion: SSAO
Screen Space Reflections: Off

Ray Tracing
ALL OFF - This eats your performance

Geometry
Level of Detail: Medium
Traffic Density: Low (Medium should also be fine)
Hair Quality: Very Low (Hard to notice higher quality difference with smaller screen & upscaling)
Weather Particle Quality: Medium

Time waits for no one.
All are equal in its flow, all lives borne to their ends.

You, who would protect the glimmer of the finite future.

You have a single year...
Go forth and live in the time given to you.

Even in these halcyon days of repose,
let your heart guide you, and never stray from its path...

An incredible experience worthy of the Psychological Horror tag as it counts down how much time you've spent doing nothing, and you reflect on the time you've wasted as your impending death timer ticks down.

I don't even play Overwatch. I'm just here to jump on the hate train.
I dislike cash grab games, especially one that showed such blatant disregard for its playerbase.

Go play Team Fortress 2 instead.

With the scenario writer being Makoto Kedouin (creator of Corpse Party), you should have an idea of what to expect from this game. Personally, the story was interesting and engaging enough to want to play to the end, but what drags the pacing down is the level design that can get pretty maze-like (not in a good way). The combat mechanics are fairly neat and fun to play around with, especially the with the knockback/ricochet aspect; but I will admit that it started to become boring for me near the end of the game.

Overall, I can't say I regretted playing the game. And for those that just care about the story, set the difficulty to easy and follow a guide once you get bored of the JRPG element.

Released back in November 2009 for the Playstation Portable, Persona 3 Portable is an enhanced version of the original Persona 3 (not Persona 3 FES). As a result of hardware limitations, many things were cut, such as overworld traversal; however, we did get the female protagonist in exchange with many brand new social links with our party members.

Even after 10+ years, P3P is a great, albeit dated, game. My main complaint is that this PC port with supposed remastered graphics actually utilizes a lot of AI upscaling, which makes many of the backgrounds look quite terrible.

With Persona 3 Reload in the horizon, I still think P3P is worth a playthrough if only for the female protagonist route which wil not be included in the upcoming P3R.

If you preordered the Digital Deluxe Dood Edition back when it was available, you can find the 10 songs here:
**[Your Steam Directory]**\SteamApps\common\Disgaea PC\soundtrack

And of course, the remastered songs are great.

An incredibly fun and beautiful game that suits all types of players, even beginners / casuals that don't have a lot of experience with gaming in general.
