Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Description
“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.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a ground-breaking turn-based RPG with unique real-time mechanics, making battles more immersive and addictive than ever. Explore a fantasy world inspired by Belle Époque France in which you battle devastating enemies.
Reactive Turn-based Combat
In this evolution of JRPGs, real-time actions enhance the heart of turn-based combat. Craft unique builds for your Expeditioners that fit your playstyle via gear, stats, skills, and character synergies. Open an active dimension in combat - dodge, parry, and counter in real time, chain combos by mastering attack rhythms, and target enemy weak points using a free aim system.
“Tomorrow Comes”
With only one year left to live, join Gustave, Maelle, and their fellow Expeditioners as they embark upon a desperate quest to break the Paintress’ cycle of death. Follow the trail of previous expeditions and discover their fate. Get to know the members of Expedition 33 as they learn to work together against impossible odds.
A Hauntingly Beautiful World
Explore an enchanting realm populated by surreal adversaries. Wander through breathtaking landscapes, from the Island of Visages to the Forgotten Battlefield, discovering secrets and hidden quests along the way. Find allies of fortune in creatures of legend. Recruit special companions to access new travel methods and discover secret areas in the World Map.

Critics reviews
Fextralife
9.5/10
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 may very well win game of the year and may do so with the staff of under 50 people, proving that passion, dedication, talent and a clear vision are far more important than a large marketing budget, scores and scores of writers and tech personnel, and a big brand to rely on. I can’t wait to see what’s next from Sandfall Interactive and hope it looks a lot like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

10/10
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a rare RPG that feels mechanically bold, emotionally grounded, and unforgettable long after the credits roll.

70/100
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's gorgeously realized world is let down by its emphasis on combat, marred by a few fatal stumbles.

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

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.

Highly overrated
The game isn't well optimized, that's a fact. If you have a GPU capable of running at 4K with DLSS, you'll get good results. Otherwise, the visuals will be a complete mess, with grainy shadows and lots of jagged edges. As for gameplay, Expedition 33 offers many ways to improve your character, including attributes, weapons, skills, and pictos, but none of that really matters if you can't manually dodge your opponent's attacks. It's a novelty in the genre that works at first, but becomes increasingly tiring and punishing as the game progresses, because even if you already have a well-developed character, you'll have to learn new attack patterns with each new opponent. The agenda is present in the dialogue, in the well-known way of portraying the man as emotional and even somewhat idiotic, and the woman as rational and wise, but in smaller doses, as they've already realized that overdoing it doesn't sell. In short, it's a good game, with a story that makes you want to see the end, but I abandoned it because the gameplay is important to me; otherwise, I'd prefer a book to read. It's definitely not GOTY unless the level of competition is very low.
