Metaphor: ReFantazio gets rave reviews from the press

Atlus has another masterpiece in store for us! The first reviews of Metaphor: ReFantazio are in, and the JRPG from the Persona has managed to take over the hearts of the press.

On Metacritic, the title averages 94% on PS5 (30 reviews), 92% on Xbox Series X (21 reviews) and 91% on PC (15 reviews). On OpenCritic, the game boasts an impressive 91% (out of 42 reviews).

The game has a great length, tackles some mature themes, has a catchy OST and some gameplay improvements over Persona. The only criticism is that there may be too much dialogue and the graphics are not that great.
