Metaphor: ReFantazio

Could we do even better than Persona 5 Royale? While the latter remains the best piece of writing we've ever played regarding adolescence, it has to be said that Metaphor: ReFantazio has taken Atlus' successful saga formula and turned it into a game that's even stronger, more immersive, more mature and, in some ways, crazier. Its minor flaws are quickly forgiven, as its gameplay is a real pleasure and its combat a real challenge. Far from being just another Persona in a fantasy world, the title can even take the time to dabble in topics such as politics, religion and discrimination, without getting bogged down in these sensitive subjects like many others before it. There's no doubt about it, this is a serious contender for the title of GOTY 2024.
