Metaphor: ReFantazio, the fantasy role-playing game from Japanese developer Atlus, was one of the biggest surprise hits of 2024. Despite launching in a year filled with great JRPGs like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Persona 3 Reload, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and Granblue Fantasy: Relink, the game was still able to stand out from the pack and make a name for itself among all the heated competition. Admittedly, there weren't a lot of people who were skeptical of Metaphor: ReFantazio's quality prior to its release, considering it came from the same developers behind the critically-acclaimed Persona 5, but it still managed to exceed many fans' expectations.
