Thoughts about Clair Obscur:Expedition 33?

I'll be honest, the first time I heard about the game was when someone said that 'Clair Obscur' sounds like a True Crime YouTube channel that makes three-hour long videos on murder-mysteries that go no where. But since then, I've seen some more footage of it and I'm quite interested now. I'll put it on the wishlist for a sale to come by.
 
Definitely interested, but I'm absolutely drowning in my backlog atm so it'll be a while before I get it. I also generally wait for a sale before buying most anything these days. Hope it's successful!
 
I picked it up. Intriguing enough to hook me early on. The combat looks engaging and fun with a different spin on turn based. Premise sounds cool as well. We'll find out how it is tomorrow ::smirk1
 
At first sight, not really a fan of the art direction and color palette, also the camera seems too hectic during combat, but let's see how it turns out

Not Day One for me. My backlog is colossal. In wishlist. Waiting for local reviews

I don't have a PS5/Xbox, so my only option is PC, but my computer is too old to run newer UE5 games. I'm going to have to get a PC upgrade one of these days, but money is tight for me right now. Still, its one of the games I plan to get as soon as I upgrade.

So far I’m really enjoying it!

That's good to hear.

All my favorite podcasters are going to bat for it, so I'm pretty much sold.

It’s definitely worth the hype so far.
Excellent tutorial and I usually hate those!
Well realized combat mechanics that don’t feel half baked.
And a story with a decently engaging and likable cast.
Seems like a Homerun thus! I’ll have more specific thoughts down the line.
 
I pre-ordered it today after the reviews came out. Had a good feeling for this ever since it got announced but art, style and voice acting alone wouldn't have been enough. Glad it came together from such a small team on their first project being released at a good price point.
Good things generally come from the smaller first time studios these days I reckon. We had Stellar Blade from ShiftUp and Black Myth Wukong from whattheirname.
