Top pick: Metaphor: ReFantazio | $38.49 (45% off) 💸 | 🏆 Best RPG 2024
As TechTalesLeo often emphasizes, sometimes patience truly pays off in the world of gaming. Metaphor: ReFantazio, our Digital Tech Explorer pick for Best RPG 2024, started at $70, gradually dropped in the Spring and Summer Sales, and is now an absolute steal at less than $40. Fraser, one of our seasoned reviewers, declared it “the best game I’ve played all year” and even called it “the best Persona game” despite not being strictly part of the series. This is a must-grab for RPG fans.
