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
I finished the second act of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive), and boy, do I have a lot to say about it. First of all, they had a cutscene at the end that went on f-o-r-e-v-e-r. This is not a bad thing, necessarily, but it was, ah, self-indulgent, to put it kindly. Oh, and… Continue Reading
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
Back again with yet another post about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive). Here’s yesterday’s post in which I talked about some of my frustrations with the overworld. I want to be clear that I think the overworld is mostly pretty great. It’s just has a few things that make it excruciating, sixty-plus hours into… Continue Reading
Not surprisingly, I have more to say about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive). In yesterday’s post, I was mentioning a few things that I didn’t like about the overworld. I was Googling something related to the game (spoiling myself about some of the bosses in the meanwhile, unfortunately, but this is always a risk… Continue Reading
Yes, I’m writing more about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive) because I can’t stop playing it. I want to stop playing it, mind, but it keeps pulling me back in. The game still said I had played 18 hours, and the last achievement I got was from something late in the first act. I logged out… Continue Reading
I can’t quit Clair Obscur; Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive). I keep saying I’m going to quit in, and then I think, “Hm. Maybe I’ll do a bit more.” And then I do a chunk more. By the way, I’ve apparently played 18.3 hours according to Xbox Game Pass. This can’t be right. I’m pretty sure… Continue Reading
I have a hunch this might be my last post about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive). Why? Because I just fought a major boss early(?) in the second act, and I hated every loooooong minute of it. I know this is a thing with JRPGs. Boss fights that take an hour, I mean, and… Continue Reading
I have mentioned a few times that I have a love/hate relationship with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive). Now, I would switch that to a hate/love relationship. I know that sounds melodramatic, but it’s a matter of degrees. I have always been very divided about this game. I have said in all my prior… Continue Reading
I know I have written a lot about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive), and I have more to say about it. I’m stlil playing, but the dichotomy I felt when I first started playing it has only grown. I would say I have a love/hate relationship with the game, but it’s really the combat.… Continue Reading
