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.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - A Masterpiece of Imagination and Artistry

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 isn't just a game-it's a visionary triumph that redefines what narrative-driven RPGs can achieve. From the very first moment, it grips you with its hauntingly beautiful world, inspired by French surrealism and Impressionist art, crafting a universe that feels both dreamlike and deeply human. The setting is a visual marvel-think Dark Souls meets Monet, with brushstrokes of melancholy and wonder in every scene.

But it's not just style over substance. The combat system is a revelation-turn-based, yet infused with timing mechanics and strategic depth that keep every battle exhilarating. The fusion of fast reflexes and tactical decision-making makes you feel constantly engaged and rewarded. Each encounter is like a mini masterpiece in itself.

The story? Daring, emotional, and refreshingly original. The mystery surrounding the "Paintress" and the countdown to Expedition 33 unravels with poetic tension. Characters are richly developed, voice acting is top-tier, and the themes-fate, memory, resistance-resonate on a deeply personal level.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a rare gem-elegantly written, breathtakingly rendered, and fiercely innovative. It's one of the boldest RPGs of the decade, and an instant classic for anyone who believes games can be high art.

After playing JRPGs for years and years such as persona and such, I didn't have big expectations, and with the Oblivion remake that came out this week I was not expecting much. But OMG this game absolutely blew my expectations out of the water with how original and fresh the gameplay, battles, and story are (not finished the game yet). Honestly speaking this is probably the best game I've played in years now. The mix of JRPG/Persona gameplay mixed with the surreal French art style and aesthetic just works like a charm. This is definitely a GOTY contender and should get all the positives ratings it deserves!

*Just finished the game.. wow you couldn't make a more perfect game if you tried. I didn't see where this game was going since the beginning and it did not let up! Best RPG I think I've ever played, I won't spoil it but if you think you know what's happening, no you don't 😆.

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.
