From the makers of the Persona series. Early reviews have rated it 94. Might become the highest rated game of the year Proud

enjoyable game, took me 70 hours, did most of the content, I think I prefer the story and characters to Persona 5, but Persona 5 has better dungeons

I'm right at the end of the game after about 80-90 hours. A few of those hours were due to the Playstation running the game on standby while I wasn't around. I've enjoyed the game. I agree with you regarding the story and characters compared to Persona 5.

As for the dungeons, I feel like I've been quite indifferent towards most of them in this game. They were much grander and distinctive from each other in Persona 5. Most of the dungeons in Metaphor look like the same dungeon, but randomly generated. The story has been pretty good, but...

spoiler:

Overall, I'm happy with the experience. It's a long game already, but the pacing could be better and it did feel like they rushed through the final stretch of the game. If they turn this into a series, like Persona, I hope they put more effort into creating dungeons that look and feel more worthwhile. A broader soundtrack wouldn't hurt either. Sometimes it felt like I was listening to the same 2-3 songs on repeat. They're certainly capable of at least matching Persona 5 in dungeon design and soundtrack. I imagine they'll devote more resources to a potential sequel, considering how successful this game has been.

I was quite content with the pacing but after the opera house (and this is a sentiment I've seen mentioned by a bunch of ppl) it feels like they rush through a lot of plot points, IMO probably budget issues/time constraints, the magic academy presumably would have been a proper dungeon compared to what we got and yeah, I was a fan of the OST but there's so little of it, Persona 5's was way more memorable. I think it's clear this just didn't have a similar budget to P5, but I hear its selling well so I'd expect them to have more faith in the series going forward if they go that route.
