Metaphor: ReFantazio does a lot of things right. Like, a lot. As it stands, it's comfortably my game of the year, and since rolling credits I've been desperately trying to work out where it ranks in the list of my favorite games of all time, because oh boy is it up there. Its spectacular storytelling is a large part of why I gave it four and a half stars out of five in my Metaphor: ReFantazio review, but if I was scoring the whole JRPG based on its ending alone, it would have walked away with an easy perfect score. Warning: spoilers for the ending of Metaphor: ReFantazio ahead.
