Metaphor: ReFantazio is everything I hoped for and more. The art style is stunning, the soundtrack is incredible, and the mix of turn-based and real-time combat keeps battles exciting. The story and characters pull you in right from the start, and it feels polished in every detail. If you enjoy JRPGs, this is a must-have for PS5!

Great game! It’s like most jrpgs it’s going to be a long playthrough but the story and gameplay are worth it! Atlus does it again! It was shipped fast and I didn’t have to pay any shipping costs! Glad to see physical media hanging in there!

Metaphor: ReFantazio is an incredible RPG with a beautiful fantasy world, stylish visuals, and strategic turn-based combat. The characters are memorable, the music is outstanding, and the journey feels epic from start to finish. It blends exploration, storytelling, and gameplay perfectly, creating a captivating adventure that’s hard to put down. It perfectly blends the mechanics of persona into this fantasy setting and I can’t get enough of it.

Great story, world and characters. It has a great UI and fighting system also. Taking the persona system to medieval future was a perfect fit. The only issue comes in the form of the presentation. Not sure what happened graphically while it doesn’t running the game it just seems like a missed opportunity. 8/10

Still playing through and enjoying every second of it. Probably the biggest surprise of 2024, did not expect this game to be such a huge win for Persona fans!

Such a phenomenal game. If you know nothing about Atlus games such as the Persona series just as I didn't, you will still enjoy this game. The combat is wildly rewarding as are all the ways you can choose to spend the limited time this game gives you. Choosing what to do and what not to do is a big part of the experience. The story, characters, and all the voice acting in this game are totally top notch.

35 or so hours in, Metaphor is excellent, creative, and a blast to play. I enjoy the main cast, the general gameplay, the combat, art style, story, and OST. If you like Persona or SMT, this is likely another winner.

I generally haven't been sucked into Persona or SMT games, but Metaphor: ReFantazio is really doing it for me. The music is great, the presentation is really stylish and distinctive, I'm enjoying the story, and -- at least on hard difficulty -- every battle feels like a puzzle to solve. I'm only 10 hours in, but I am absolutely loving it so far.

One of the best RPGs I’ve ever played. The team from persona 3-5 really struck it out of the park here, even better battle system that’s closer to SMTs and a really good story

If it wasn't for FF7 Rebirth, I would have voted for this game to be game of the year. It's story telling is 10, the combat and turned based system is a 10, build crafting is endless. Only downside is sometimes you can go long swathes of 2+ hours of story and can feel exhausting. That's typical of Atlus games though. Must buy.

Is this game perfect? No, it does feel a bit rushed sometimes in some resolutions. Have I finished it? Not yet, but im enjoying myself.
I touched base with Persona 5 a while back, but I'm considering this my first real Atlus game. It isnt hard to get used to the pass system and paying attention to weaknessess. I love the Archetypes. Being able to set up a party with exactly what you need feels satisfying.
And Hulkenberg. And Basilio. They're my favorites. And of course the MC is just a little babby.

This game is life changing! Quite possibly the most amazing game ever made. This game is as hot as the sun and will burn itself into your psyche like a puppy wagging his tail you won't be able to put this game down like it's cold drink in "H E double hockey sticks" this game plays so smooth it's as smooth as silk and as cool as the other side of the pillow. This game makes other games look like monkeys made them in a room with no windows and lights. You play this game if you are as American as apple pie only this game wasn't made in America, so yeah deal with that like you would deal with the elephant in the room. When you play this game you will be riveted the screen like one of those 80's Garfield window hangers. Look just buy the game or you'll look like a lame gamer who doesn't play big boy or girl games.
