However, it is worth noting that if you are buying the game physically, you can find it for less than the RRP. Amazon in the UK for example has it listed at £54,99. Be sure to shop around if you are getting the game physically!

Metaphor: ReFantazio Digital Anniversary Edition

The Metaphor: ReFantazio is digital only and has an RRP of $99,99/£89,99.

If you are a huge fan of Atlus, getting that digital artbook and all time soundtrack is really cool. However, you are also getting an artbook and a soundtrack for Metaphor: ReFantazio as well. To be fair, the price here is not bad at all, considering all the cool extras you are getting.

Atlus and Sega always bring it when it comes to a collector’s edition and the Metaphor: ReFantazio has some cool physical goodies for you. This is priced at $149,99/£129,99.
