‘Metaphor: ReFantazio’ Is Set to be an easy game of the year contender
Can you believe that once upon a time, people genuinely thought a non-Persona RPG from some of the Persona folks would crash and burn? Utter insanity! The game, right now, has a staggering 90+ aggregate score between Metacritic and OpenCritic! Don’t get me started on the love the game’s received on Steam!
“After 77 hours I caught credits, having spent most of last night enjoying the last couple of pretty large and challenging final dungeon areas and the many great cutscenes and boss/optional battles that ensued. The ending to the game was incredible and satisfying as hell. One of the best endings in an RPG – honestly one of the better stories told, in many different and interesting ways,” said Steam user, Felix Krowe.
“Between the gameplay (I really felt like I was having legit fun with the combat even in the final dungeon and the final boss; I felt constantly rewarded with better gear, powerful jobs to explore, cool skills and synergies and upgrades to how the game plays all along the way even up to the final hours – a rarity in an RPG) and the story as well as the characters (there isn’t a one I don’t love) this is S-Tier indeed. I can’t believe 6 months ago I’d never even heard of this and now here we are. Highest recommendation. Probably going to end up being my GOTY.”
Now, you can argue about the name being “bad.” But otherwise? Not a mediocre bone in Metaphor: ReFantazio‘s body!
