    I wish Metaphor had amounted to more, and I’m frustrated to see yet another calendar RPG.

    It’s not a bad game, but it’s the same food they’ve made for decades.

      That’s fair. I do see how it being nominally a new IP instead of a numbered sequel the ways it overlaps with Persona feel like a bit of treading water.

      For me there is way more than enough to separate it, though. The bonkers story alone and the super political spin on it are crazy, plus the gameplay ends up being different enough.

      But yeah, it’s pretty much one of those. Still better than going full action RPG like Square has done with its franchises, though.

        I’m playing it too, mostly I’m just struggling to go whack Heismay and instead just playing Monster’s Expedition yet again.

        Monster’s Expedition never gets old.
