Clair Obscur: Expedition 33–the actual review, part six

This is definitely the last review post on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive). I am saying it with my tongue firmly in my cheek. Yesterday, I was talking about the level design–which I think is the worst element of the game. Easily. By the way, Ian sent me an article about how parrying is the worst… Continue Reading

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33–the actual review (part four)

I’m back, and I’m going to do an actual review of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive). This is the first day I’ve not played it since I started playing, and it’s with a sense of relief that I’ve put it down. I’m trying to decide what to play next because Nightreign (FromSoft) is dropping… Continue Reading

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33–the review, part three

I have more to say about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive), apparently. I’ve done several posts with ‘quick looks’ at the game, plus two review posts.

I beat Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive). The end. Ha! Of course that’s not the end; it’s just the beginning. I haven’t written about this game since I finished ACT 2, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been playing it. There will be spoilers, maybe, if I decide to get deep into the story.… Continue Reading

I truly think I’m done with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (part ten)

I am so tired. I think I’m done with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive). For the first day since it came out, I did not play it as soon as I could in the morning (afternoon, really). I did dip in a bit before writing this, but I just felt empty as I did… Continue Reading

One last post about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, part eight

I think this will be the last post I do about Clair Obscur: Expedition 22 (Sandfall Interactive), at least for now. I rudely got spoiled about something in the RKG Discord channel, and while it was not unexpected, it really put a sour taste in my mouth. That’s mostly on me, though. Even though the… Continue Reading
