Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

I'm speechless. I've rarely seen a project that exuded so much love, passion, and heart and soul. It's simply incredible what this team of just 30 (!) people has conjured up.

I could go into every aspect of the game, but rarely has anything been so close to perfection, so that's unnecessary.

If I had to highlight one thing, though, it would be the music. Wow. I've rarely heard such a powerful, emotional, and high-quality soundtrack. A special thanks to Lorien Testard, who created one of the best OSTs of all time.

This game is an absolute work of art in every respect and an absolute must-have for every non-gamer, gamer, and especially JRPG fan.

I just finished it and let me start with i don't even like turn based games and rpgs. This game is so special and well done that it made me love every inch about it. As a whole, simply it's ABSOLUTE CINEMA.

The story is complex yet clarity is on point so you never lost yourself in bombs of twists. The dialogs are very natural especially PARRIED with PERFECT voice acts. When it starts you are full with engagements, it ends with full satisfaction.

The visual designs of characters and stages are absolute masterpiece. It felt like Bioshock Infinite. The Victorian French essence feels very good. Mocap looks very professional. Animations are usually cute but can be noticed it's not AAA. Vfx in both cutscenes and in gameplay are pretty damn good. The graphics tho has obvious technical difficulties and i blame Unreal Engine for it. Some hair renders are terrible, anti-alisigns are even worse. There are some noticeable visual bugs but all acceptable.

The score, music, va, sfx are all beyond good and need award for that. Nothing else can be said.

Gameplay is amazing, as i mentioned, i don't even like turn based games and i couldn't stop play and enjoyed every second of it.

This game, this way or another NEEDS to get Game Of The Year award. Because the suit-people need to see what gamers actually like: Original, brave games done with heart and done by TALENTED employees.

A small team that set out to make a great game, for gamers. The story is well-crafted with interesting characters, motives, and dialogue, the leveling and build system is enjoyable and thought-out, the combat is addicting (and cinematic), and the performances are top-notch (the voice cast is nothing short of S-tier). Beautiful graphics and atmosphere throughout make the journey stunning from beginning to end. It's a game you'll want to finish, before it is spoiled for you. Take in every moment, it's worth your time.

In a world of rushed and stale games, money-hungry companies with no imagination and agenda-filled motives, this game is the direction things need to move in.

10/10 GotY Material.

This game has blown me away Awesome graphics!

Beautiful soundtrack!

Immersive Voice acting and characters!

Incredible Gameplay!

For those who are avoiding it simply because its tagged as turn based are seriously missing out some real fun and this is coming from someone who has no interest in turn based combat I literally couldn't get far into Baldurs Gate 3 but this game has had me hooked so far. The only cons i can think of are simply a few minor bugs but lets be honest you get those in almost every new release these days. Best of all it costs less than most tripple A titles without any micro transactions.

I can't believe this masterpiece come from small studio in france I even no ideo how to describe it how amazing , beautiful this game is.

The music,the character,the environment Everything perfect This is a game should be nowadays Not try to push thing in a place where shouldn't be.

Before the game is released a lot people underistimate this just because it's turn based game include me I thought it just a decent game like others But wow the game blow my mind If i not have to going to work i will play this game a whole week,lol

Thanks to every person who make this game Hope you guys keep on track in the future

GOTY contender for sure.
