With its nearly 62,000 peak concurrent players, Metaphor: ReFantazio is the best Steam launch ever for Atlus: the title directed by Katsura Hashino recorded substantially better numbers than the other productions of the Japanese publisher.
Specifically, the recent Persona 3 Reload reached 45,002 peak users, while Persona 5 Royal stopped at 35,474. Completing the top 5 signed by Atlus we find Persona 4 Golden with 29,984 users and Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance with 21,749.
The ones who pushed Metaphor: ReFantazio were probably the very high marks which received from the international press, but also a consolidation of the products belonging to these brands, which on the Valve platform have grown year after year, gaining more and more popularity.
Another gem?
In our review of Metaphor: ReFantazio we said very positive words about the game’s plot and its own extraordinary artistic directionalso defining the combat system developed by the developers as particularly solid and effective.
Of course, we were a little less convinced by the characterization of the supporting characters, which wasn’t always in-depth a general resemblance to the Persona series which could perhaps disappoint those who were expecting a more original experience.
By the way: if you have purchased the game and are about to play the campaign, we have just published a special with five things to know before starting Metaphor: ReFantazio.
