Metaphor: ReFantazio Deserves Its Goty Nomination, But I Still Can't Play It

Metaphor: ReFantazio has been nominated for Game of the Year at The Game Awards, and although I think it deserves this recognition, I also can’t seem to finish it. This starkly contrasts its competitor and fellow Jrpg, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which I’ve sunk several days’ worth of playtime into. I’m also a big fan of Atlus’ RPGs, having played Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal multiple times. So why is Metaphor: ReFantazio giving me so much trouble?
It’s certainly not because of any technical failings. In many ways, Metaphor is a much more engaging experience than some of Atlus’s other games. It also has a topical story that feels almost perfectly timed. As a fan of political stories, it also happens to align with my personal interests. And yet, the game just can’t seem to hook me.
