Metaphor: ReFantazio was a title from last year 2024, and as usual from developer Atlus, they delivered a title with tons of hours of fun and things to do, as well as charismatic character development and a story that grabs you like few other titles do. Little by little, Japanese RPG titles, or JRPGs, are getting closer to the West, moving from titles for a certain sector, to capture the attention of more casual players.
