Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has something common to all great games: the ability to make us forget the world around us, even if it's for just a few minutes, to fully absorb its ideas, and deliver a cathartic conclusion.

Clair Obscur is an RPG on rocket skates. It takes big swings and lands all of them with a satisfying smack.

Clair Obsur: Expedition 33 is a marvel of a video game. A game-changing, genre-bending masterpiece. It serves as a testament to the passion of what can be accomplished by a talented team, rivaling the efforts of giant monolith publishers that have three times the budget and resources. It converted me into seeking out other turn-based experiences, but this excellent game may have spoiled me.

Não gostei porque não A obra Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 apresenta-se como uma profunda decepção técnica e narrativa. Embora a estética vitoriana tenha sido comercializada como um diferencial revolucionário, a execução visual carece de expressividade, resultando em personagens com texturas inanimadas e artificiais. No âmbito mecânico, o sistema de combate por turnos busca uma reatividade através de parries e esquivas; contudo, a inconsistência na janela de input, agravada por quedas súbitas na taxa de quadros (frame rate), compromete a precisão e gera uma experiência punitiva e frustrante ao jogador. Soma-se a isso a natureza arcaica da estrutura de turnos, que, em vez de oferecer profundidade estratégica, torna-se um exercício de repetição exaustiva e morosidade, falhando em justificar sua existência em uma indústria que já refinou tais sistemas.
Ademais, o roteiro demonstra uma pretensão excessiva, entregando diálogos prolixos e desprovidos de substância que falham em manter o engajamento. A exploração é severamente limitada por um design de níveis rígido, repleto de barreiras invisíveis, enquanto o uso recorrente de backtracking serve apenas como um artifício para prolongar a duração do título de forma artificial. Com uma progressão morosa e um design de antagonistas repetitivo, o jogo prioriza uma pretensa profundidade artística em detrimento da funcionalidade e do entretenimento, resultando em um produto ineficiente e insatisfatório...

In my 26 years old and thousands of games played, I have never experienced something even close to this masterpiece. Absolute.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 sets new standards for the genre of turn based RPGs with regard to the story, but even more so the combat. A new, shining star, who hopefully points the way for many future games.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 feels like a real next step for modern RPG games. Sandfall has achieved something truly special.

A paradigm shift for turn-based RPGs, respectful of their heritage yet unafraid to dismantle and rebuild their foundations.

It's hard not to be impressed by Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, if only for the sheer ambition it displays. From its very first minutes, the game sets a strong, atypical aesthetic framework, almost disturbing in its tormented beauty. The universe, somewhere between surrealistic nightmare and waking dream, is unlike anything currently on the J-RPG scene. But Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is more than just a visual daring, for beneath its visual and symbolic layers lies a surprisingly dense, rich and, above all, dynamic combat system. Combining turn-based and real-time reflexes, the game redefines the genre's expectations by forcing it out of its comfort zone. But ambitious as it is, Expedition 33 is not without its faults. The game's overly linear structure hinders exploration. The environments, as beautiful as they are, sometimes suffer from a lack of interaction and a rather flat level design. The title isn't perfect, but it's terribly sincere, and above all it's a work that dares and often succeeds.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 mixes JRPG-like turn-based battles with real-time action. While I was hooked to this combat system, the story’s sudden plot twist felt forced. Although this was hard to ignore, it is undeniable that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an appealing game that delivers a strong message.

One of the greatest games I've ever played. It deserved every single word of praise plus all of the awards it got.

Bruh imagine you are at game award and Geoff literally admits he would have put TF2 but it was replaced by this **** **** ass game, that's what happened (true). Listen, I'm getting some coffee then I will try this game out— what the **** it's a whole **** €80!? And hecking turnbased? What the **** **** dude, that's not even funny at all. Thanks Todd Howard.

It’s a modern RPG with a style of a turn-based gameplay having similarity to marvel’ midnight sun. Story was good and voice acting is mediocre but gameplay is not for everyone.

More Miyazaki glazing slop. Its a soulslike/Sekiro style game with a turn based RPG skin. You have to use parry or dodge and failing those its punished excessively. Its not as punishing as Sekiro but its still annoying. Campfires, flasks, respawning enemies, unbalanced leveling, combat that swings between engaging and cheap with 1 or 2 shotting the player. The Lumina system is one of the few redeeming qualities that keeps it from veering completely into soulslike territory by allowing you to basically "glass cannon" every fight before some OP trash mob can 1 shot you. While the combat isn't outright terrible like a Miyazaki game, and it can be very engaging most of the time once you get into the rhythm, the story and setting are pretty dull after act 1. Great graphics but weird world and world design, visually cluttered and fairly empty. Boring characters mostly and a nonsense story. The story is presented primarily at your campsite, its very pretentious and the overworld is comically weird (looks like toys in a playset meant to represent scale of travel between locations), I never really cared about any of it, didn't feel urgency or interest in the antagonist or their motives. Talking to living "brush" doll humanoid... things that occupy the world with a Charlie Brown "wah wah wah" style language is extremely meh. Its decent but not even close to being the flawless masterpiece everyone is claiming. My other review, longer and rated higher, was deleted lol. Love it when this site does that.

I beat this game and for some reason my score gets deleted? Its a meh game. It gets boring and repetitive at times. Way too overhyped like everyone else is saying. It becomes a chore to beat after a while.
