Metaphor: ReFantazio Launch Edition - PlayStation 5

Metaphor is by far one the best games I've played I really enjoyed the creativity and the character design Story is simple yet entertaining

After seeing the reveal almost 2 years ago and keeping up with a lot of the trailers I can say this game does not disappoint in the slightest. I am a huge fan of developer Atlus' games, with Persona 5 Royal being my favorite game of all time, so I was going in with high expectations and somehow this game managed to surpass all of them in virtually every single aspect. The visuals and art are unmatched, the gameplay is fun and stylish and the story is unlike no others. It is a worthy purchase filled to the brim with content and a metanarrative that is sure to stick with you for life. Metaphor has one of the most poetic and profound messages in all of gaming, and it is not afraid to tackle themes like racism and inequality , and it does so in very smart ways. It has a message rooted within the ideals of a just society, and it is a must play for any JRPG fan, or RPG fan in general. Do not miss out on this game.

Been wanting to try an Atlus RPG for a while and figured now was as good a time as any. My biggest concern going in was the time management mechanic seen previously in the Persona series, but so far it hasn't been a problem. I usually tackle the core objectives early and I'm left with plenty of spare time to develop character bonds and wrap up side quests until the next objective is given. One early recommendation is to escape/retry enemy encounters if the enemies land the first hit as even on the easy difficulty it will leave you on the back foot for the rest of that encounter. To give a comparison, the combat is similar to the job system from final fantasy 5 so the overall challenge is more dependent on finding which classes/moves are most effective in a given area zone/dungeon. Don't want to spoil too much so I'll just say that its a fun time with beautiful visuals, a great story, and a surprisingly flexible battle system. Would recommend.

Its a super fun jrpg and the story is great

Looking for something to scratch that itch until Persona 6? Play this. Wanted Persona games to feel a little more like Final Fantasy? Play this. Wanted a Persona game with the grotesque body horror of a Soulsborne game? Play this. Metaphor has all that, it's got the gameplay and mechanics of modern Persona games, all the way down to a talkative helper character, a plethora of different races and lore rich fantasy locations like Final Fantasy, and monsters called "humans" that really defy description. The game also has more of a challenge than Persona games. Usually the first time-limited "dungeon" can be gone through pretty quickly leaving a lot of time to do other activities on the outside, but here the first such dungeon is a tower you have to go to the roof on with only a few items that can replenish small amounts of MP requiring frequent exits to replenish MP and return the next day. This was an unexpected challenge that I enjoyed. It's overall a fun game that I might even replay again right after.

Great game, atlus knows how to make good rpgs

If you're a fan of the Persona series you'll like this. Gives a fresh spin on the same trope we've been enjoying for years. Gets rid of the same yet beloved demons we've seen for so long and adds new creatures, antagonists and elements to combat. Same stylized, flashly appearance we've grown to love with its own unique twist. Has life activies like building relationships and pursuing side quests but not as in depth as p5 (which some people find trivial), and definitely more than SMT 5 (which the lack of made the game feel somewhat lacking). The story is fun, though I admit feels childish at times. Yeah guys are getting assassinated and there's a darkness to it like all Persona games, but my only gripe to be honest is I feel sometimes like the naivety of the main character and his companions at times can be cringe and off putting. Regardless I enjoyed it overall, and there's ample game play you'll get from it. Took me over 100 hours to complete the game. I would say gameplay wise, it's a perfect middle ground between the Persona and Shin Megami Tensei series. Was fun to play something with an entirely new setting from these creators, with the same gameplay and vibes we've grown to love through the years. While not perfect, it is very good.

Perfect item +++++ Thanks from SSS Soccer Studio

This is one of the best game you could get among games that released in 2024. No Atlus and their hit series Persona fans should miss out on this. Great music, story, and gameplay. Only negative thing I could think of is somewhat meh graphic compared to other current gen games, as it uses their own graphic engine from Catherine, but that does not mean it is ugly to look at. I strongly suggest you to try this game if you have not yet.
