Expedition 33

Woah. Would you really put Expedition 33 in the same class as the other two? This is the highest indirect praise I've seen of the game.

    absolutely!

    it's of course a very different game from the other two but brilliant nonetheless

    i dislike turn based combat, i dislike jrpg, but Expedition 33? i adore. the world building, the story, the voice acting- are absolutely incredible. It's one of those lightnings in a bottle that suddenly appear out of seemingly nowhere

    Yes. The story is gut-wrenching, the world is rich and engaging, the gameplay is interesting. If I had one complaint it’s that the rare platforming segments don’t quite work… but being a masterpiece isn’t about perfection, it’s about impact, and Clair Obscur hits like a hydrogen bomb.
