Our analysis
Mack quit Metaphor: ReFantazio after 23 minutes and calls it garbage, citing relentless heavy dialogue, the anime style, a child protagonist, and combat and graphics he hates, while saying fans are allowed to love it.
Our analysis
An enchanting, thought-provoking high-fantasy RPG that stands as a culmination of Atlas's craft, pairing sublime turn-based combat and deeply interlocking systems with stylish presentation and a memorable score. The reframing of genre stereotypes and a gripping, if linear, story make it hard to beat. Drawbacks include long-windedness, repetitive labyrinthine dungeons, over-explaining, and an underused election concept that lacks real political bite.
Our analysis
New JRPG from Persona team at Atlus with different universe and new world. Solid, compelling, lengthy JRPG with thought-provoking narrative. Fantasy world with political and social themes. Uses familiar Persona formula while establishing own identity. Good jumping-on point for newcomers while satisfying existing fans.
Our analysis
Excellent pacing, engaging story and improved social systems deliver one of Atlus most cohesive games.
Our analysis
An excellent must-play RPG from Atlas with engaging combat mechanics, compelling time management elements, and a politically intriguing story, despite minor pacing issues in the final act.
Our analysis
A strong, mature departure from the Persona formula featuring excellent character development and strategic combat, though hampered by tedious pacing, lengthy playtime, and repetitive dungeon design. The reviewer gives it an 8/10 and considers it a worthy Game of the Year nominee.
