Final Weapon reviewed Metaphor: ReFantazio and gave a 5/5 score, noting that it’s “a masterful RPG that defies expectations, and it’s the pinnacle of its genre. Players are plunged into an amazing and complex fantasy setting as a protagonist setting out to right the wrongs of its kingdom: the United Kingdom of Euchronia. Along the way, players meet several well-written characters, including a tremendous threat of a villain. ATLUS refined and perfected the calendar and turn-based battle systems to create an all-time classic. This is absolute brilliance.”
