Gotta say Metaphor: ReFantazio doesn't catch me nearly as much as Persona 5.
After roughly 8 hours of gameplay, pretty much everything seems worse. Main characters are boring thus far (at least the protagonist isn't silent), the fantasy world setting is meh at best, the artstyle is depressing and grey and the graphics themselves also look worse due to lots of aliasing going on.

Not sure if I'm going to finish it. Already feels like a drag.

Honestly, I agree. I finished it, but I lost my patience with it A LOT quicker than Persona 5. Persona 5 did get rather long in the tooth by the end where I was looking forward to getting done with it, but with Metaphor, I started longing for it to be over when I was only like halfway through. Kind of a bummer, cus I thought that the setting would actually speak to me more, and initially I was vibing with it. But after the first 15-20 hours or so they were clearly kinda outta ideas here, and so this world of fantasy felt a hell of a lot less fantastical than the world of Persona.

The fact this has a mid 90s meta is CRAZY. This is a posterchild 7/10 game.
