"I’m not sure where to talk about the video games I’ve been playing but I do want to include some opinions." -- always here for these thoughts! (Well, all your thoughts, but especially so on books and games 🤗.)

Fantastic re: P5R. I never played it beyond the first few hours as I was just trying it out on Gamepass. However, I have sunk 12 hours into the Metaphor Re:Fantazio *demo* and I am soo excited for that to release later this week. If it can maintain what the demo shows, then it'd be a strong GOTY contender for me (although, if it's 100+ hours, which I expect it will be, then I doubt I'll finish it this year. My 150hr Baldur's Gate 3 first play through took me many, many, many months due to taking various breaks due to work and life commitments).

edit: meant to loop back around to say I should probably play P5R properly given how much I'm loving Metaphor, but that'll have to wait now that Metaphor is inbound. :)

Yeah, I might as well keep doing it here. Thank you for your enthusiasm!

My long story with Persona is that I've loved it since I watched my best friend play 4 in high school, played a bit of it too, then fell off it. Fast forward to about a year ago, one of my coworkers is a huge Persona (Atlus in general) nerd & there was a lot of buzz about 3 Reload so I figured, why not start again with 5 Royal since I already had it in my library haha. Still need to play through 3 & 4! Anyway, recommending everything Persona to you!

I'm savouring the Metaphor demo bc I don't know when I can actually play it (can't/don't want to on PC & don't own a Playstation... yet.). The gameplay is very reminiscent of Persona but of course it's beautiful & I'm curious where the story is going to go!

Well, I shall keep anything I say spoiler-free. The world and characters have me totally sold. I can't wait to see where the story goes.
