This week saw the release of Metaphor: ReFantazio, the long-awaited new release from the folks behind Persona. It’s a game bursting with big ideas and rich themes, and we’ve got a lot to say, both about the things it does well, and at least one area in which it falls short of one of its predecessors. On top of that, we’ve also got a hands-on preview of Sunderfolk, an upcoming game from ex-Blizzard-CEO Mike Morhaime’s new company Dreamhaven. And we’ve got recommendations for a host of hidden narrative gems that deserve some attention. Click on for all this and more.
