Critic Reviews
By Joe Bariso
Metaphor: ReFantazio is a shining example of what RPGs are capable of and what stories are. Why they matter to us, and why we keep coming back to them.

Metaphor: ReFantazio is a great game and almost mandatory for fans of Japanese RPGs. With this game Studio Zero shows that they can easily address serious themes and make a game that is right on almost every aspect. It is a game with very small valleys and gigantic heights. Normally I would not quickly name a game of the year. For Metaphor: ReFantazio I make an exception for the first time. As far as I am concerned, this game is the game of the year in a year full of excellent titles.

Atlus strikes gold again! With many thought provoking themes and ideas Metaphor just gives the player enough reason to believe that video games are an artform and could shape our future in many ways. Fast paced battles, a masterful score and an otherwordly art direction seals the deal for this epic JRPG adventure to be the most powerful contender for GOTY for sure.

Metaphor: ReFantazio continues Atlus' generational streak of stylish, remarkable JRPGs. Persona and Shin Megami Tensei fans will feel at home but this new fantasy world is gracefully transformative and rife with meaningful subtext.
