WE’RE in the busiest part of the year for gamers, as the biggest games launch at the same time in the run up to the holidays.
That’s why it’s so important to try before you buy, in order to save the stress on your wallet.
Luckily, Sega has released a huge demo for one of this year’s biggest games, that anyone can download for free.
It’s called a demo, but it’s so beefy that it is longer than plenty of regular releases.
Metaphor: ReFantazio is the upcoming RPG from Atlus, developed by many of the team from the modern Persona series.
It features many of the same aspects that people love from the Persona series, such as the mix of dungeon crawling and building friendships.
However, Metaphor takes place in a completely different world with a high-fantasy setting.
Much like Persona 5, Metaphor: ReFantazio will reportedly take around 100 hours to complete, which is why the demo is so big.
The demo starts from the beginning of the game and you play through the first part of the game.
This includes the first four dungeons, as well as the ability to unlock seven of the more than 40 Archetypes.
You will also meet six of your followers, which is Metaphor’s version of the social links from the Persona games.
It’s estimated that the demo will take players four to five hours to complete, making it one of the biggest game demos we’ve seen.
It still only covers a tiny portion of the whole game, but it will let you know if you’ll enjoy the full game.
Even better, everything you complete while playing the demo will be transferred over to the game if you purchase it once it’s released.
This means even if you plan on purchasing the game, you can get a headstart without losing any progress.
The demo was originally exclusive to Xbox players, but is now available on all release platforms.
So whether you’re planning to play on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PS4, or PC via Windows or Steam, you’ll be able to grab the demo for free.
Metaphor: ReFantazio will release on October 11, 2024, so you have just over two weeks to complete the prologue before launch.
