I was looking forward to your discussion of Metaphor: ReFantazio. It seems I'll pass on it. I loved Persona 3 Portable on PSP, so I pre-ordered Persona 5 when it came out. I'm 70% through, still playing. The story drags and is oversexualized. Most of the sexualization makes no sense while the game tries to take moral high ground. For example, there's a teacher who discovers that teaching is her passion and is renowned for giving great advice to students. Yet she can ends up (easily) dating a student and dressing up as a maid to hide herself (after her act is complete) to give "special massages" to her student. I'm not a prude; if this were Grand Theft Auto, it would make sense. At this point in my life, Persona's dialogue is way too slow. I didn't finish Persona 4; it was too slow, and the protagonists felt much younger, like 12, so it felt weird to look at some scenes. Persona would still be in my top series, but I feel it's too childish and maybe made for younger people. Don't get me wrong, they talk about difficult subjects, but the way everything is put together is not cohesive at all. Maybe I'll play Persona 3 Reload instead, but I'm afraid I'll be disappointed. What do you think about Metaphor: ReFantazio's story? Is it too slow?

btw great show, alien isolation 2 woot... Yes games was too long but the ambiance was crazy. To me it was a real horror game.
