Episode Aigis is a decent DLC for a splendid game like Persona 3, to put it in the shortest possible way.

A painful but necessary final reflection, in a DLC expressly aimed at fans.
Persona 3 Reload's Episode Aigis - The Answer DLC may be lacking some social elements, but it's hard to deny more great Persona combat.

At best, it's an intriguing but flawed epilogue; at worst, it's a completely unnecessary addition to a fantastic game.
