For the past couple of weeks, I've done nothing except live and breathe Metaphor: ReFantazio. At first this was so I could complete it in time for review: According to the game’s director, Metaphor is as long as Persona 5, a game that took some people 170 hours to complete. Unfortunately, Metaphor is not 170 hours long. According to my total play time it’s more like 110 hours if you do every last sidequest, major battle, and optional distraction.
