By a country mile.
Metaphor is fantastic in that early game, loads of fun and overall I'd say it's a great game at about an 8/10 but then it goes through periods of stagnation and slogn. Atlus never promised Metpahpor would be a genre evolution or a maturing of they're particular style in the genre but they heavily implied it and yet this game delivered on exactly what they implied for Metaphor and with modern graphics to boot and no holding the player hostage for 80 hours with severe pacing issues, all the extra content is completely optional and not a nessessity to be leveled enough for the final fights. It actually is optional side content. No return of the king style climax that ends a dozen times or over spectacle in the final boss.Â
This game is leagues ahead of Metaphor. Funnily enough, it's a game that could be that padded out and stretched, not that it should, it's perfect the way it is but Atlus have no excuse now, they really need to up their game.Â
I still believe the journos only played the first 20-30 hours of Metaphor and that's why it is rated so highly rated as they scored the game on that where it could justify a 10. Look at the user scores, thst's where things are more reflective of people who've finished these games. I know only 33% of journos finished Clair Obscur cause the trophy data showed it the days leading up to release. If this was a title in an established series or from a company with a good track record this would be 95+, easily.Â

Enjoy and savour it cause experiences like this don't come often and while the game is still just as fun in replays it looses that initial magic. Do yourself a favour and stay on normal or above, the characters mechanics need timely fights to unfold properly and the passive boosts are way more meaningful when you really need to be thinking of min maxing and experimenting with them. You're in for a treat.
