WTMG’s Leo Faria: “It might not be as charming, stylish, or memorable as Persona, but Metaphor: ReFantazio plays better than any other JRPG made by Atlus I can remember. In terms of writing, I can safely say that this is one of the most interesting and engaging plots in any JRPG, ever, even if, at first, it feels like its premise won’t ever make sense. It’s a bit shorter and its pacing is a tad bit more concise, making it more accessible and replayable. Finally, add in a fantastic combat system, and what you have here is a bonafide hit. More than just “Political Persona” or “Medieval Persona“, it’s yet another brand new pillar in Atlus’ portfolio of acclaimed RPGs, and easily one of the best games of the year.”
