From the makers of Persona 5, Metaphor ReFantazio is easily one of the best role-playing games of all time.
The game shares many similarities with the likes of Persona 5, tasking players with completing missions within a certain timeframe. Indeed, the time management system is one of the most compelling elements of Metaphor ReFantazio, as players balance exploration and side-quests with dungeon-crawling.
It also features some absolutely incredible enemy designs, not to mention a fantastic class-style system and some challenging combat.
If you missed out on Metaphor ReFantazio when it launched last year, then the good news is that the game is currently available for the lowest price we’ve seen so far.
From now until October 16, Metaphor ReFantazio is reduced by a whopping 45% over on Steam.
This means you can pick up the critically-acclaimed role-playing game for just £32.99.
DLC is also reduced in price, including the 35th Anniversary Edition, which contains boatloads of bonus packs.
This includes Etrian Odyssey Class Costumes, Samurai Garb, the St. Hermelin High School Uniform and so much more.
You can purchase all of the DLC with the base game, or pick up individual DLC packs for as little as £2.79 each.
It’s worth pointing out that the game is Steam Deck Playable, with smaller text the only drawback to playing in handheld.
Metaphor ReFantazio has a 94% score on Metacritic. Critics praise the combat system, presentation and overall storytelling, comparing it favourably to the Persona games.
