“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.

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.

Can hardly see
There is so much bright bloom everywhere I can hardly see and I can't tell if the game is meant to be like that. Graphics in general seem weird and contrasty. I'm on an RTX 3080 Ti so it shouldn't be this bad. It doesn't support HDR either. It's not yet supported by Nvidia's optimizer tool despite being out for like 6 months now? I'm only a few hours in and the story seems interesting but gameplay extremely linear, but also very confusing. They don't ever really explain how to do anything or what all of their weird in-game terms mean. Fighting is boring as well. Shoot, attack or skill, dodge, repeat. I'm only a few hours in but I'm not really enjoying it. It also crashed about that time as well, while no other games crash on my system. I'm kind of regretting this purchase and only sticking it through to see why others think it's so great.

Not playable
Toxic mechanics build around parry and jump parry. Without these techniques one simply can not beat the game.
