Peruna Metaphor: ReFantazio Review

A refreshingly straightforward story, wrapped around superb game mechanics. If anime-style art & tropes in storytelling are not familiar, it might take some time of getting used to, but ultimately offers a deep delve into the idealization of our modern society. The game is not subtle in this regard. Combat, though turn-based for most parts, is still fast paced and engaging. Music is one of the best this year. Character controls are great, and the world feels alive. This is one of the only games I recommend playing with the original language, because English localization didn't hit the mark all the time through the game. There were some really high highs, which made the lows even more noticable.
