Just to clarify, Metaverse is an umbrella term for anything that is related to a simulated "real world" and NFT is just a part of the broad aspect of the Metaverse. If there's anything worth investing or trading in Metaverse, it's the big boys in the market such as Microsoft, Meta, Apple, Google, AMD, Intel and Nvidia that are continuously making these innovation possible and not those ponzi scheme play-to-earn games.
There is also a good read by Matthew Ball
[1] and Jon Radoff
[2] that explains Metaverse in depth and offers a fresh perspective on how these things actually work.

Metaverse ecosystem is broad with huge potentials, the way almost all big names are joining can already tell you this ecosystem has a lot to offer.
There is also room for the none branded ones who have something to offer. Just as all the previous trend where full of trash pretending to be legit, there so many metaverse fake projects out there, scammers would always want to take advantage of every situation. Investors should be more smart.
