It's not every day that you get to rule a kingdom and save money on it, Black Friday is like that. Metaphor: ReFantazio for PS5 is available for just £34.49 at Argos, so £15 off its usual price of £49.99. While Atlus RPGs are a big-time investment, the cost of entry is a great deal.
Metaphor: Refantazio UK Black Friday Deal
From the creative minds behind Persona 3, 4, and 5, Metaphor: ReFantazio brings the same vein of drama, strategy, and lovable weirdness. The plot starts with a king's assassination (very Shakespearean), leaving the throne open to whoever can prove themselves worthy. Players play as a hopeful heir to the throne, using Archetype powers to save the kingdom and sort out its political chaos. With Gallica, your fairy companion, you'll dungeon-crawl, treasure-hunt, and make new mates.
By day, you're questing, battling foes, and looting like no tomorrow. By night, it's all about strengthening bonds with your party, honing your virtues, and proving you're more than just a dungeon diver. It's The Great British Bake Off, with swords and spells instead of cakes. I bet you haven't heard that comparison yet.
We gave it a 9/10, with the first few lines of the review summing up this game perfectly:
"What kinds of lessons do we learn from our favorite pieces of fiction? Are they simply a means for escapism and enjoyment, or can they also have a tangible impact on our lives? Having played nearly every RPG from developer Atlus, my answer to that last question is a resounding, “Yes.” Metaphor: ReFantazio ponders these questions in both concrete and abstract ways through the lens of a politically charged fantasy RPG, further proving that there’s real power in the stories games can tell."
Want the brass tax on the latest Atlus epic? Reviewer Michael Higham signs off with:
"Refining the Atlus RPG formula of weaving tough turn-based combat into compelling social sim mechanics, Metaphor: ReFantazio doesn't just send a powerful message across its political drama, it becomes a beautiful expression of the real impact storytelling can have on all of us."
Its stunning anime-inspired visuals, immersive soundtrack, and dynamic gameplay are epic. Persona fan, or do you love a good JRPG? Metaphor: ReFantazio offers an adventure worth every penny especially at this Black Friday price.
