Metaphor: ReFantzio PS5 PS4 PlayStation

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 of permanent stat buffs.

Scoured by GamesRadar+, the outlet noted that once you reach the meat of the game and gain access to the Gauntlet Runner, you can gain a small amount of EXP by regularly showering. Far more beneficial (and for reasons we don't fully understand), by using the toilet aboard on Idlesday, players can earn a permanent increase to their Luck stat, and this can be done each and every week. It's good to be regular.

Did you notice this small carrot Atlus put in front of players, seemingly to induce them into bathing? Make sure to scrub behind your ears before descending into the comments section below.
