Preview Metaphor: ReFantazio Won't Blow You Away in Its First Hour
An odd Gamescom demo detailed
Huge JRPGs from Atlus are at their slowest and most basic at the very beginning, so playing the first hour of Metaphor: ReFantazio at Gamescom wasn't exactly the most impressive 60 minutes we've spent with the game pre-release.
