There are still many big games scheduled to release this Christmas, and Metaphor: ReFantazio from Atlus is one of them. While the SEGA subsidiary really doesn’t want you to know the game is coming to PS5, it is on 11th October. This gameplay demo appears to be based on the Xbox Series X|S release judging by the button prompts, but that’s not massively surprising considering Microsoft has a marketing arrangement with the release.

Aside from some major performance issues, this demo has a bit of everything. You’ll see relationships being forged, turn-based combat, and even a bit of exploration. It really does appear to scratch the same itch as the Persona series, albeit in a fantasy setting. Our only criticism is that it looks a little outdated technically, even if the art direction is on point.
