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 Concord Devs Tinker with PC Files, Spurring Free-to-Play Speculation

News Sony's Porting PS2 Horror Siren to Its New PS5, PS4 Emulator
And that's actually huge news
Sony is adding Siren to PS Plus Premium from 15th October, which is potentially huge news.
