The levels of praise for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 have been off the charts since it launched a few weeks back, and now that more people are rolling credits on the RPG, it's getting some additional Game of the Year talk.
Case in point: Kim Hyung-tae, director of Stellar Blade and founder of its developer, Shift Up, has taken to social media in order to express his love for Sandfall Interactive's debut.
Sandfall's CEO admitted that he felt a little burned out by JRPGs and talked about the dilemma with turn-based gameplay.
I like both, it's very much all about execution though. Plenty of turn basedand action games I fine absolutely boring and generic. You need to nail the gameplay and mechanics. Sandfall did something amazing by combining a mix of some of the best combat systems out there and made it real engaging and entertaining for huge turn based fans and even real time.
Parry is also a big one, I think all games need parry lol.
I like all types of RPGs- action, pure turn based, hybrid. Quality is what matters to me
Whatever is developers vision works best. Gaming industry is big enough where we can have multiple genre exist
I mean, people have only just f*cking cried about it for ages when things go real-time… who would’ve thunk giving people what they want would make them buy something
In this generation I don't mind turn base if the battle system plays like Persona 5 & Expedition 33. I also enjoyed the 16 year old turn base
battle system in FFXIII which was the Paradigm system.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 brings to life a dark yet colorful fantasy world, with amazing gameplay, meaningful relationships, and a general sense of wonder in one of the decade’s finest games, then paints it bleak with its final unsatisfying stroke. That’s not a fun conclusion to have to draw after being so deeply invested in the title - I badly wanted it to be the incredibly rare 10/10 game that it almost managed to be. Instead, it lands itself as an(other) almost masterpiece; one that feels absolutely incroyable while playing it, but left me with mixed feelings afterwards – and not in the way the developers intended."
Top Score is a feature that highlights the best recent video game music reelases and classic soundtracks as well.
The year isn’t close to over so it’s a little premature to be calling for GoTY already.
I still have to start the new dynasty warriors game, get doom, looking forward to lost souls aside, playing south of midnight and honestly Clair definitely set a standard that’s going to be tough to top. But, it’s not impossible for sure
i do too, this game, fuck me sideways.
only a few games give me that sorta feeling, i couldnt stop playing.
the music, fuuuck so good.
the story, the characters, fhe battles ,so good.
i love this game so much ha
This is my GOTY so far. Ghost is a day 1, i still have to finish ds1 so i probably wont be there day 1 for ds2. I kno Ghost is gonna be amazing, but its gonna be hard to top this as my goty.
