Metaphor: ReFantazio Review | TheSixthAxis

Taken as a straightforward fantasy RPG Metaphor: ReFantazio is hard to beat, as Atlus expertly merges nostalgia and modernity. If its lofty thematic goals of ending prejudice and overcoming society’s collective melancholia are too idealistic, perhaps that’s actually the sort of positivity and hope we need right now. Maybe, above all, the true purpose of fantasy is to provide comfort as we reflect on our own world. If that’s the case, Atlus’ game is essential.
