METAPHOR: REFANTAZIO REVIEW
Metaphor: ReFantazio is an incredible game, that implements many quality-of-life improvements to the Persona formula, while enhancing that experience to create an exceptional fantasy RPG. Metaphor delivers a captivating and memorable villain, with a lovable ensemble cast, and brilliant soundtrack, all of which work together to craft a compelling fantasy adventure.
Metaphor: ReFantazio is one of my favourite games of 2024, and if I ever sit down to articulate my favourite video games of all time, Metaphor will be in the mix. Persona fans will absolutely adore Metaphor, but this experience is much more than a reskinned Persona game. Metaphor is a tremendous RPG in its own right, that will leave Persona and fantasy RPG fans completely enamoured, with over 100 hours of quality content to appreciate.
