Extended metaphore refanatzio review
@vaartis I was going to wait until I finished the game to read the review, but, after twenty hours of it, I decided I had enough. I found it boring and predictable.
In terms of gameplay, I hate that they went back to SMT's types of attack. (Who needs three types of physical attacks?) It's supposed to be (sort of) open world, but then they take you wherever they want because the story demands it. You can't even reach your destination through a different path. So frustrating. Of those 20 hours, at least five consisted of these barely interactive ‘cutscenes’.
The protagonist lacks anything resembling a personality, and neither of the other characters are remotely as lovable or memorable as P5R's.
That said, according to my nephew, we are the only ones on the Internet who hold these opinions, so you're probably right in what you wrote.
