Metaphor: ReFantazio - ReviewMetaphor: ReFantazio is a strong RPG that builds on the Persona series with less repetitive structures and more animated cutscenes, though its heavy combat focus may not appeal to everyone. While it offers dynamic gameplay and improved dungeons, character interactions may lack the memorability of Persona 5.
