Metaphor: ReFantazio is a stunning RPG that exemplifies almost everything that makes Atlus-developed games great. With the social elements of Persona, battle mechanics from Shin Megami Tensei, a mix of real-time and turn-based combat, and a traditional RPG class system, there is an enormous amount to love about Metaphor. Admittedly, if you are the target demographic for this kind of game, you did not need me to explain all this to you. But in the bizarre chance this is your first time ever hearing about Metaphor, please play this spectacular game. Kotaku’s Kenneth Sheppard can explain to you why you should.

Though Metaphor features numerous systems and ideas seen in other games, few mix them all together so elegantly. So if you’ve just finished Metaphor and are hungry for more, it can be tricky to identify what exactly you’re craving. Do you want more of the social simulator elements as seen in the daily life segments of the game? Are you hungry for another RPG with a beefy class system? Or are you jonesing for another game that dabbles in politics?
Regardless of what exactly you liked about Metaphor, here you’ll find ten games that should scratch whatever itch has lingered in your heart since rolling credits on your adventure with your Elda. Not every game here will be like Metaphor, exactly, but I guess you could say they’re at least similes. I’ll see myself out now, please tip the wait staff.
