Metaphor: ReFantazio's success is further proof that politics are good in videogames, actually—no matter what reactionaries tell you

Gallica and Will look determined, facing the right of the screen, in Metaphor: ReFantazio.

Well, well, hasn't Metaphor: ReFantazio done well for itself? In case you're completely unaware, Metaphor is Atlus' (creators of the Persona series) latest RPG, a turn-based fantasy adventure through Euchronia, wherein you must vie for the throne alongside other eligible candidates. You also tear out your heart so you can turn into a fantasy mecha, it's awesome.

The thing sold like hotcakes, shunting out over a million copies on its first day, and it's been critically well-received to boot. We gave it a sparkling 95 in our Metaphor: ReFantazio review—just two points off Baldur's Gate 3, an RPG that's likely to rule over our top 100 list forever (dethroning Disco Elysium in an act of pure regicide, even). Reviews from other outlets have been shiny as well—top marks all around.
