Metaphor: ReFantazio gives plenty of reasons why you should read books in the game. Aside from perks, lore, and skill, it gives us an achievement at the end. For the people who can’t go to sleep if they haven’t collected everything in the game, this guide will help you unlock the Bookworm Trophy in Metaphor: ReFantazio by listing all the books and the best possible answers for you to choose from.
List of All Books & Best Answers in Metaphor ReFantazio
