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

Great game. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys a good story with smooth game play.

Game was great and really time frames for each mission make you plot out choices for bonding and grinding. I liked it a lot.

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.

Christmas gift for my boyfriend. He's been wanting this since it came out. Disc was in place and case was in great condition. :)

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.

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.

Feels very persona-like, obviously, which is very welcome but at the same time Re:fantazio has been a breath of fresh air for the JRPG genre. It's wonderful for cozy gamers who delight in a good story and immersive world, but also offers somewhat of a challenge for hardcore gamers (though this is debatable). Pros - Delightful graphics and views really capture the idea of a whimsical fantasy - Combat system is fun and fluid - Character designs and voice actors are back to back incredible - Captivating storytelling that draws you in to find out more - Countless dungeons and lots of interesting NPC's to talk to - Enjoyable Social links Cons - Generic fighter archetypes (Warrior, thief, merchant, etc) with not much changes to their designs as you level up - The origin of the conflict is not clear and you simply have to accept it as it is - Sometimes the game feels too easy even on the harder difficulty - Side quests give you a lot to do but as you actually work on completing enough of them, they all start to blend in with each other Overall really solid game and ideal for a cozy gamer that wants a storybook game. Can definitely compete with Persona as one of my favorite RPG's and I'm very excited hearing about the possible sequel entry.

Good RPG very nice story & gameplay

Similar game play to the Persona and SMT series in a new setting. Good story and fun to play.
