I play this game for a week, say its the best JRPG I've ever played, then stop for a month, then play it again and say the same thing. Not the game's fault I just think I have adhd or something.

Metaphor: ReFantazio I'm writing this review as a first-time JRPG-player. Metaphor: ReFantazio is in many ways an absolutely incredible game. However, it did almost wear out it's welcome near the end for me. I am overall very positive on the game. I heard about it through a podcast, the host talked about the story in the game and it piqued my interest. Lucky for me, there was a free demo for the game's first 8-10ish hours. I tried it and I was hooked and bought the game. The story in Metaphor is beyond anything I've ever played. It's a new world, vast and interesting, and it has many weird elements that at first make you wonder and think - and throughout, and by the end, makes you tear up. The characters are amazing. There are so many twists to the narrative, that you aren't really sure where it's going for the most part, and that was very refreshing to me in an RPG. It's told through amazing anime cutscenes, voice-acted lines and, a bit unfortunate, through a lot of heavy reading. I've played many text-heavy RPGs, so I don't mind, but it's no secret that it takes away from the immersion that it's not voice-acted through and through. The game's narrative is what kept me coming back to it to see it through when I was a bit annoyed with the game. The way it works with metaphors and fantasy and in some ways involves you, the player (not the character you play), is very cool. Gameplay/combat was fun for the most part. I enjoyed it very much throughout the majority of the game. Unfortunately the game wants you to play many different classes on your characters, which I'm not fond of or used to in Western RPGs. Some later bosses were super annoying, being immune to all damage types but one, so if you haven't unlocked or trained certain classes you were just kinda out of luck. I scraped by after many attempts and levelling other classes, but it was really annoying. Near the end of the game, you get put through very long, very arduous dungeons that you just wanna get through to see the ending, but they bog you down for 10+ hours easily. In particular the last few dungeons had you fight the same bosses you have defeated throughout the game, but harder versions of them. Some of the dungeons were very long or annoying, and in some cases I left the game for days or weeks before I came back to it (to see the story unfold/finish). Visually it's not the greatest game in terms of graphical fidelity - but it is carried by it's artstyle, which is phenomenal. Everything from the world, the cities, even the menus ooze that particular anime style and it's super cool. The sound design was great and the music was bangin'. The combat music especially had me hyped quite often, though by the end also became repetitive. It took me about 82 hours to complete the game (10 hours in the demo) and I did all quests I came across. I would recommend the game to anyone who likes a great story. If a sequel were to come out, it's an instant buy for me. Maybe now that I am familiar with this particular type of JRPG I would be less annoyed with the class mechanics, long dungeons and ardous fights, since I know what is expected in these types of games in terms of character, party builds, etc. Overall I had a really good time and would rate the game an 8/10 as a first time JRPG-player. I understand how for many it was their game of the year 2024. I am definitely keen on checking out more JRPGs after playing Metaphor: ReFantazio.

Nov. 2024

Amazing JRPG! Finally, we're free from the high school setting that often defines Atlus games. Metaphor: ReFantazio offers a refreshing escape with its rich, imaginative world and engaging narrative. The combat system is a standout feature, blending strategy and fluid mechanics that keep battles exciting and dynamic. The soundtrack perfectly complements the game's surroundings. Character development is also present throughout the game, creating more impact on the story. And of course, the exploration is very fun. Overall, this game is a must-play for any JRPG / Persona / SMT fans.

Nov. 2024

I went in to Metaphor knowing almost nothing about it, and ended up being surprised by a personal contender for game of the year. The game is beautiful, moving, and has a delightful cast of characters. The combat mechanics are also fantastic (I'm always a sucker for a FF3/5 style job system). This game recaptured a love for optimistic JRPGs that I haven't felt since playing Skies of Arcadia as a kid. 10/10, would highly recommend
