Review Metaphor: ReFantazio (PS5) - Brilliant, Memorable RPG Is One of Atlus' Finest Works
More than meets the eye
Spearheaded by a trio of veteran developers best known for their outstanding work on the Persona series, Metaphor: ReFantazio is the dawn of a brand new IP from Atlus. In its structure and mechanics, it feels comfortingly familiar, but in its fantastical setting and bold style — both in terms of visuals and audio — it...

Poll What Will Win Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024?
There can only be one
We're just hours away from The Game Awards 2024, and so it's time to get your final predictions in. We simply have to ask: which nominee do you think will win the grand prize?

News SEGA Heaps Praise on Atlus Following Strong Metaphor: ReFantazio Sales
ReFantastico
Atlus has become an integral part of the SEGA machine since its acquisition all the way back in 2013. SEGA snapped the Persona developer up when its previous parent company faced bankruptcy, and in more recent years, the publisher has pumped serious resources into key projects — especially with regards to marketing. The bottom line...
News Metaphor: ReFantazio, Persona Director Katsura Hashino Is Already Grinding Out a New JRPG
Master of time management
Katsura Hashino, who, after directing Catherine, Persona 3, Persona 4, Persona 5, and now Metaphor: ReFantazio, we consider to be one of the greats, is already back at work. Intriguingly, while details regarding Studio Zero's next game are exceedingly scant, we know it won't be another Persona; what direction Hashino...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Metaphor: ReFantazio?
RPG royalty?
The latest title from RPG powerhouse Atlus, Metaphor: ReFantazio has been making big waves since its release last week. The fantasy adventure was met with near universal praise before that, racking up the kind of review scores that would suggest it's a candidate for Game of the Year. The bottom line is that everyone seems to think it's...
News Metaphor: ReFantazio Rewards Gamers for Practising Cleanliness, Good Hygiene
Read into that what you will
In what we are sure is not meta-commentary on the state of gaming conventions, Atlus has reminded us all of the benefits of bathing regularly and practising good hygiene in Metaphor: ReFantazio. We wonder how many players will find themselves unconsciously washing more regularly, having been trained to do so in pursuit...
Poll Are You Playing Metaphor: ReFantazio?
No longer a fantasy
Having first been announced by Atlus all the way back in 2016 as Project Re Fantasy, it's almost surreal to think that Metaphor: ReFantazio is finally here. The game's gone down a treat with critics — it's one of the highest-rated releases of 2024 — and the generous ten-hour demo seems to have won over a lot of potential...
News Metaphor: ReFantazio Immediately Tops 1 Million Sales at Launch
ReFantastico
Out today on PS5 and PS4 (as well as PC and Xbox Series), Metaphor: ReFantazio has immediately surpassed 1 million sales, making it Atlus' fastest-selling game to date. An undeniably impressive feat for the fantasy RPG, which is launching into a busy October schedule. That 'fastest-selling' title needs a little context, though. We need...
News Serve Real Royalty in SEGA's Surreal Metaphor: ReFantazio Competition
Well, self-proclaimed royalty, anyway
Mirroring the fantastical plotline of Metaphor: ReFantazio, SEGA is giving one lucky fan the chance to win a real-world royal title and become the "Hand to the Sovereign Prince of Sealand." That's right—you can become the personal retainer of His Royal Majesty, Prince Liam Bates of The Principality of Sealand,...
News Don't Sweat Metaphor: ReFantazio's Borrowed Persona Calender System

News Making Metaphor: ReFantazio, Persona's Immaculate Menus Is 'Really Annoying', Says Director
"It takes a lot of time"
Astonishingly stylish, Atlus is currently the reigning champion in UI design, with its legendary Persona series scoring full marks in this regard. The imminent Metaphor: ReFantazio is no slouch in this department, either, and Studio Zero director Katsura Hashino was recently asked about its gorgeous menu design, and you can...

Hands On Cyberpunk 2077, Final Fantasy 16, and Metaphor: ReFantazio All Get a Boost on PS5 Pro
Frame raters
We've spent the last couple of days putting games like Dragon's Dogma 2 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth through their paces on PS5 Pro. Those titles have been handed dedicated updates so that they can take advantage of Sony's supercharged system — but what about popular PS5 games that haven't been Pro-patched? In theory, unpatched titles...
Preview Metaphor: ReFantazio Won't Blow You Away in Its First Hour
An odd Gamescom demo detailed
Huge JRPGs from Atlus are at their slowest and most basic at the very beginning, so playing the first hour of Metaphor: ReFantazio at Gamescom wasn't exactly the most impressive 60 minutes we've spent with the game pre-release. Full of tutorials and cutscenes, we wouldn't have encountered a single battle if we didn't...
Preview Metaphor: ReFantazio Is Already a Contender for RPG of the Year
No metaphors here
Metaphor: ReFantazio is a lot. We were only allowed to spend around an hour with Atlus’ upcoming RPG at this years’ Summer Game Fest, but in that time, we ran into egg enemies wearing boots; we acted like an ass to our other party members; we made kebabs with one of or companions; we also fought squid Jesus which had a heart...
