Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
 

So.... I came across this game on the Playstation Store yesterday, after watching some trailers and gameplay I immediately pre-ordered it (Comes out in 10 Days). Looks to be a Dark Fantasy RPG that seems inspired by a myriad of of other games (Most obvious ones being Persona and Final Fantasy) and has an awesome voice cast (including Charlie Cox and Andy Serkis). And it looks like it's only gonna be $50 at release (On PS5 you can preorder right now at 10% off if your PS Plus), so call me cautiously optimistic! When it comes out, I'll let everyone know how it is!

That looks....wild.

Posted this in the main games thread a while back, looking forward to it. It will also launch on Steam later this month.

This usually is the type of game I keep an eye out for, I'm surprised that I hadn't even heard of it until this last weekend. (Honestly, a bit glad I didn't though so I didn't have to wait around for months for it, it's just a bit of a happy surprise now)

Ya it looks interesting as in it isn't really a genre other than kinda Final Fantasy like. I like games that think outside the box, kind of exciting.

This comes out tomorrow, who else is excited for it? I might pause my Last Epoch addiction to play it or add it to the list of man I need to play this soon. Good Times! :)

Might be Dark Souls like, I might also be too old to git gud :P

I was hoping it isn't turn-based. What a shame.

Souls like turn based sounds like torture.

Ya I am too old to git gud, BUT someone mentioned it can be turned into turn based. I'll wait to confirm that for sure.

Ok so game has a difficulty setting and you can set it to story mode to make combat much easier. Also has an option to do offensive timings almost auto but defense you can only turn to story mode and greatly reduce the damage you take from attacks. Also story mode makes combat much easier as the timings aren't near as hard. Hope that helps for the Dark Souls type of combat haters(To which I'm mostly one)


Combat is still pretty annoying tbh.

Cheat engine auto dodge and auto parry if you're feeling frisky

I played it for a good hour yesterday, it's interesting. Still getting the timings down when to parry and when to dodge, so it's like FFX meets Lies of P, both games I really love.

Good things can happen if you leave Ubisoft, maybe we will see more talented devs leave AAA studios and make great games.
