Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Looks Stunning, Hits Hard, and Feels Fresh on PS5 - Push Square

Push Square: "Regardless of whether you’re a big JRPG fan or not, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a game you should be looking out for. Its impeccable art design and high-concept premise make it incredibly easy to be drawn into its world. Great character drama and a growing depth to character builds and combat will invest you even further. We may have only scratched the surface with our demo time, but if Sandfall Interactive is able to keep it up over the course of the full game, we could be onto something truly special here."

Cant wait to play this day one on game pass!

Same here. This is what I was wishing the newer Final Fantasy games would have ended up being. Will play it day one on GamePass (Series X) and buy it on Steam as well for my collection.

Awesome! All the success is well deserved. My GOTY right now. Damn what an amazing game

chrisx14h ago

I'm one of those 2 million. I played my part. Its a great game. Turn based souls game 😹

FACTUAL evidence7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

Played my part as well. I was probably the first person in my city to buy it. Soon as the shop opened I went to get it.

I’m hoping FF17 is like this, especially with the world map. It’s so OG FF it’s unreal. It’s one of my fav RPGs of all time right now. I’m impressed with really nothing negative to say about the game.

Hopefully we get more high budget RPGs like this one. I would love to see Sony start making turned based RPG exclusives again like the good old ps1 days.

It's a great game no doubt well deserved success but i must say i'm in act 2 right now and i don't quite get the super crazy reception for the game, i mean 9.7 on user reviews on metacritic is insane.. seems a bit absurd.

TricksterArrow15h ago

It’s OK if something is not for you. It’s still a 9.7, though.

Levii_9213h ago

What do you mean it's not for me xD i like the game a lot. How did you get that from my comment?

TricksterArrow13h ago

“I don’t quite get the reception. 9.7 is insane and a bit absurd.”

Your words.

The game deserves the 9.7.
You are still entitled to your opinion, though.

I swear you internet dweeb love to read things that aren't there. He said he didnt think irs as good as everyone's making it out to be. Somehow you guys are reading "I hate this game"

jznrpg15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

There is no game for everyone. I’d guess a lot of the reviews are from people who like turn based to begin with but either way it’s a well made game

CantThinkOfAUsername13h ago

A lot of tourists and casuals are playing this game. They pretend there were no good turn-based games since early 2000s.

jukins13h ago

I'm in dame boat. Good game but to me its not as good as people are saying. Writing falls off in act 2. Feel like this game got extra points because it was made by a small team and a bunch of people who think this kind of turn based is completely new. Then there's the issue of the "troll era" where everyone wants to hate the big dogs like final fantasy so they'll latch onto anything just so they can say its better

cironn5h ago

Or... OR... Maybe, just maybe... People really like this game a lot. Crazy, huh?!

jukins3h ago

No i get it its a great game. I dont like turn based really at all but this one is well done. Again you guys are reading things that aren't there and kinda proving the point.

Goodguy012h ago

For a $50 game and done by a small studio, I'd say that's enough to justify the scores. There is no perfect game out there but I believe the game deserves what it's gotten. I am a little critical of some of the scenes and dialogue but the overall story and gameplay really make it up for me.

Just ordered myself a physical copy, but it isn't due to arrive until the 24th May. Gives me time to complete The Last of Us Part 2 (I know, I know, I'm behind the times).

ravens5213h ago

How're you liking Tlou2. One of my favorite games.

Kurisu6h ago

I haven't quite made my mind up yet. I'm not too far in to the game, but so far I'm not enjoying it as much as the first. It almost feels like I'm forcing myself to play through it, whereas the first game gripped me from the get go. I've watched the first two episodes of the new series and I've enjoyed comparing the events of the game to the adaptation, but I won't be watching anymore episodes until I'm further in.

BLow11h ago

You're not behind, you are a gamer who has a backlog. Believe me you are not the only one. I have a lot a games I need to play. Quite a few are still shrink-wrapped lol. Enjoy Tlou2.

Kurisu6h ago

Thanks! Yeah, there's no rush to get to things. Honestly I've not been feeling in the gaming mood as much recently, but I'm looking forward to getting that feeling back.

arissaseah5115h ago

It's a great game and finally, it's achieving all the success and recognition.
