I've been playing Metaphor. Huge Atlus fanboy so I'm biased but I've loved this game. Think I'm nearly done, got all companions and over half of them are maxed out. They've done a bunch of reveals (which were very telegraphed especially if you've played some of the SMT games). Got one final dungeon to do from what I can tell but at the start of the cycle.
Combat is much better than Persona due to using press-turn. I've found the S-Links are much more streamlined than in P5 as well, with the stat requirements to progress some of them being reasonable with regards to where you are in the game. I think the time passing mechanic is the best it's been since P3 tbh.
If I had to nitpick: The soundtrack is fine but not as good as most other Atlus games. Also enemy variety could be better especially if you are doing all the side dungeons.
Overall I think this game is excellent though.
