17 years on, Persona 3 Reload: Episode Aigis is a faithful remake that does little to save the expansion from its black sheep reputation

A party consisting of Metis, Aigis, Yukari, and Akihiko prepare for an all-out attack.

If you're a Persona old hand, let me save you some time. Based on my hour playing it, Persona 3 Reload: Episode Aigis is an exactingly faithful recreation of Persona 3: FES's The Answer expansion from 2007 in the remake's souped-up engine. That means a lot of combat with the new mechanics you've come to rely on in Reload—theurgies, shifting, being able to actually control your party—all grafted onto a structure and narrative nearly, nearly identical to the original add-on.

If you've already played that original add-on, you almost certainly know whether that appeals or not. Fare thee well, reader, you can stop here.
