It’s easy to see the DNA of Persona in every facet of Metaphor, from the calendar system to the stylish turn-based combat. SegaUnlike the contemporary Persona, Metaphor takes place in a rich, high-fantasy realm called Euchronia — where the king has just been assassinated. That narrative experience is permeated by one of the most impressive visual styles you’ll find in any video game. Metaphor’s battle system is both flashy and functional — with some of the most challening turn-based combat out there. Even though you’ll likely spend over 100 hours on Metaphor, you’ll hit the end credits and feel like you made it there in no time at all.
