Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is exceeding all expectations, both critically and commercially. That means it’s selling out at retail, with many fans unable to get their hands on a physical PS5 copy. Writing on X (or Twitter), developer Sandfall Interactive has acknowledged the issues, and says it’s working hard to rectify them.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a surprise hit on PC - but how well does the game run? Alex Battaglia investigates for the Digital Foundry tech review.
Shaz from Pixel Swish: "For all its inspirations and nods to gaming's past greats, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 never feels derivative. Instead, it stands on its own as a product that feels thoroughly unique, and is a triumphant achievement for Sandfall Interactive."
The success of numerous original titles and the failure of several live service games demonstrate a strong demand for story-driven experiences.
I just checked and the PS5 version is currently sold out at Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop for me.
Good thing I preordered it. The game is amazing!
Always great to see an amazing game selling out of physical copies. Easily my GOTY and probably my favourite game this generation.
This game IS art. I'm savoring every single bit of it!
