Metaphor: ReFantazio

Lullaby/10.

It's great.

probably my favorite game of all time

Metaphor: ReFantazio is easily one of the best games I’ve played. The story is beautifully written from start to finish. Hoping there's a sequel down the line!

Quite long journey for me, this review is coming from someone who did not play any ATLUS games before and rarely plays JRPGs. First of all, the story was very good. I've spent way too many days playing till late hours just because I was curious what will happen next. Some characters resonated with me more than others (Basilio best bro), but most of their stories were interesting. Combat was balanced for me, as there were times where I felt too powerful, and moments later I got my ass handed down to me by a boss. I did not know that preparation before the boss fight was really the key. Getting information on bosses and theorycrafting best team comp before the battle was just as fun as challenging myself with randomly picked teamcomps. I do have couple of areas that I wish were improved: 1. More OST - the soundtrack was fire, but hearing it over and over for 100 hours is pretty tiring, the game is afraid of silence, but felt like there were only handful of tracks in the game. Hearing epic music during random conversation with NPCs felt awkward at times. 2. Visual fidelity - anime cutscenes were great, but the gameplay graphics could be improved by a lot. It runs great on handhelds, but I wish there was more detail in game assets and world 3. Player choices - they don't matter most of the time. If that's the case, why would I be bothered to even choose? 4. Dungeons - they felt like a slog at times, uninteresting and either too short or way too long Either way I enjoyed my time spent with the game.
