Best review I've watched about Metaphor Refantazio. And I've watched over 10 of them. Very VERY well done and thorough. 10 out of 10 game. 10 out of 10 review.
Wow! This is probably the only video that can capsulate exactly the theme of Metaphor from what ive seen on youtube so far. And also some neat mention to Katsura Hashino, Soejima and Shoji Meguro as well. I even consider to make a review of this game myself to share with my friends but after this video, it seems like I don’t have to anymore. Great job on making this video.
What is the track called that plays at the start of the conclusion segment I've been looking for it ever since I heard it in game but can't find it anywhere. And great review by the way I hope this video encourages people who have been sitting on the fence to finally play it and experience this masterpiece!
The song is called King of Destruction and the part played in the video kicks in around the 2 minute mark :). Also thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Personally, despite FF7 Rebirth and Silent Hill 2 Remake releasing this year, I feel like Metaphor deserves the GOTY. The game feels way more personal and immersive as an RPG than any other the games I've played so far. Truly one of the few games I'd recommend people to experience once.
I haven't played Silent Hill 2's Remake but man Rebirth was also an incredible game. I absolutely would agree with Metaphor feeling like a personal RPG, and I'm glad to see that it has got as many nominations as it did at the game awards. I would love to see Metaphor win in, but I won't be disappointed if Rebirth takes it too. Happy to hear you enjoyed Metaphor as much as you did 🙂
I feel like for a 10/10 the game should succeed in all areas where it could be, and the dungeons / bounties environments were very repetitive. Consider FF rebirth which has uniquely crafted massively explorable areas, with fully voiced dialogues to boot, which metaphor also lacked. Metaphor is a fantastic game, but objectively a 10/10 I believe it is not. Once voicework is completed for all segments of the game (majority of all confidant dialogue is textbox), the dungeons are uniquely crafted, this game can be a 10/10.
I get where you are coming from and I hold both Rebirth and Metaphor in extremely high regard. But I think that how these games handle exploration is fundamentally different. Both a globetrotting adventures through their respective worlds, but FF7 takes the more traditional approach and has a good mixture of challenges, map marker objectives, and mini-games. Metaphors is more focused around its time management and having each dungeon, bounty tied to some sort of dungeon or quest. I do feel there may be some sense of visual repetition with some of these dungeons. But overall I feel there are different puzzles, and location variety with some of them being in caves, a forest or a tower, and the enemies are varied and interesting. I think the voiced dialogue is something that Rebirth has done a great job with, I think Metaphor in that respect too has a substantial amount and I get the critique, but I guess it doesn’t detract from the experience imo to dock any points. I generally don’t like number scores, but in my eyes if I had to assign a number it would be a 9 at least. Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙂

Metaphor is a máster piece.
Couldn’t agree more 🫡. Hoping it wins big at the Game Awards
Metaphor for the GOTY❤!
I'm hopeful, it is absolutely deserving of it.
Metaphor has been nominated for GOTY!
Here's hoping that it wins the GOTY 🙏 it absolutely deserves it.
