Metaphor: ReFantazio – PS5 Review | Thumb Culture

Travis Bruno of Capsule Computers writes:

“Thinking back, it’s a bit surprising that it has been eight years since the original release of Persona 5. Perhaps this is due to how the Persona series remains incredibly popular to this day or the fact that Persona 5 has been given so many revamps or guest appearances in that timeframe that it feels hard to top it. Well, one man thought the same and it happened to be the game’s director and producer Katsura Hashino who left P-Studio when he finished the game and formed Studio Zero within Atlus instead. Intent on crafting a high fantasy style game and moving away from the direction Persona was likely heading, Studio Zero spent years developing their first grand RPG in the form of Metaphor: ReFantazio and it must be said that not only have they succeeded, they’ve created the type of RPG that you just don’t much of these days, an original IP offering both quality and quantity of content with so much lore players will be delving in for more.”
