"Returning to this pivotal Atlus JRPG well over a decade after its original release, Shin Megami Tensei 3 Nocturne HD Remaster has never been more accessible. Nocturne is unabashedly old-school, in both good ways and not-so-great ways. The gameplay adjustments …"

"Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster offers something a bit different here in 2021. By today&s;s standards it&s;s a very hardcore, old school RPG; an adventure that&s;s both unwelcoming and uniquely intriguing - even engrossing once you&s;re invested. But …"
