Metaphor: ReFantazio

Por ahora está fantástico.

Simply marvellous. This game really is a breath of fresh air and was extremely addictive. If playing a Persona game makes you feel that way, then there is a good chance Metaphor will too. There are some differences though, and this isn't merely "Persona, except in a fantasy world". A disclaimer that I used a spoiler-free guide to play because I wanted to do as much as possible in a single playthrough. I took about 117 hours, of which about 10 hours was grinding because I wanted to max out all the Archetypes for myself and all my party members (completely optional). Metaphor has, IMO, a much better and more thoughtful story, as well as much better worldbuilding. It's by no means perfect, but I think these are the selling points of this game. The lore in the world of Metaphor is quite fascinating and creative. Characters are overall pretty charming, and the antagonist is charismatic with relatable motivations. I also have to highlight the great music that accompanies your exploration of this world. I'm very happy that Shoji Meguro completed work on this game despite leaving Atlus before this game was completed. The dungeon crawling is different from Persona. There are a lot more dungeons; many shorter dungeons and several VERY long "story" dungeons. I kid you not, I spent over 6 hours in one of the "story" dungeons... The dungeons are labyrinths of varying complexity, but remind me of the overworld in Shin Megami Tensei 5 Vengeance, in that you can explore and see items and enemies on the mini map. If that's a dealbreaker for you, then you'll find the game quite draggy, since the game is about 50/50 dungeon crawling vs spending time doing stuff, doing quests, and increasing social link levels. Overall, I highly recommend this game. It is definitely worth a try, especially since there is a prologue demo to help you decide if it's something you'll like.
