“Year by year, She erases us.”
Once a year, the Paintress wakes and paints upon her monolith. Paints her cursed number. And everyone past that age turns to smoke and fades away. Year by year, that number ticks down and more of us are erased. Tomorrow she’ll wake and paint “33.” And tomorrow we depart on our final mission - Destroy the Paintress, so she can never paint death again.
We are Expedition 33.

Annoying combat
People seem to love the story, unfortunately for me the combat mechanics are too annoying (dodge/parry timing mainly) to enjoy it.

Combat Mechanics
I have only played on console (XBox Series X) and have not played on PC. If the game is differeent between the two systesms, I apologize. The game is difficult and requires learning the dodge/parry mechanic. Act 1 is the most forgiving, as i assume the game is giving the player time to learn. Act 2 takes off the gloves. Turning down the difficulty to Story mode did not help. It was ok for a while, but I learned that some Boss fights REQUIRE you Parry to do damage and survive. Otherwise, the Boss (+minions) will overwelm you with their attacks. Even in Story mode, the Parry (very small window of opportunity) was not something I could replicate time and again. I was able to get the dodge, but that only allowed me to survive a little longer. To beat the game, you will have to Parry (no damage to your characters and increased damage to the Boss). Since it's turn-based combat, the fights last a long time with plenty of opportunities to mess it up. I don't care about being the best and only wanted to finish the game. Definitely rent or borrow this game!!!

Great game, terrible optimization.
There's an amazing game hiding behind this unoptimized slop. Fix the optimization and it will be a 10/10 game.

It's like playing out a movie
The game has tons of high quality cinematic. The facial animations are amazing along with solid dialogue and story. It looks even extremely gorgeous. Each environment is unique and something out of a fairytale. Each character is very fleshed out which I really like. But Lune is the best. I love Lune.
