Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 | PS5

Inspired by classic JRPGs and action titles alike, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a turn-based RPG that will set you on a harrowing journey you won't soon forget.

By the time the credits rolled, I didn’t just want a sequel. I wanted a whole series.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 PS5 Review You know those games that you fall in love with at first sight? There’s that initial trailer and you know you will love that game? That’s how I felt when the announcement trailer dropped in June 2024 for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Absolutely everything about it screamed “This checks all the boxes and more.” After my time with Clair Obscur, I see just how correct I was back in June 2024. That’s not to say that there aren’t shortcomings, because there are. However, this tragic story more than deserves your attention, and the gameplay loop provides just enough challenge to keep you tweaking your builds. Clair Obscur is nothing short of special. For spoiler reasons, I am staying intentionally vague. While I don’t always think that seeing spoilers ruins an experience, several aspects of this game rely heavily on what you discern on your own. Please bear this in mind while looking at anything regarding Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, here or otherwise.
