It's already in the middle of the year and the players are still talking Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Since the opening in April. This will remain true until the end of the year, or some other RPG prices, for example Outer Worlds 2, Borderlands 4, or Pokemon Legends: For?
What about the rest of the time? Is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 I am going to achieve a critical amount and talk about age, just like Pinnacles in the RPG Empire as Final Fantasy 7, Baldur's Gate 3and Persona 5? Only time will say, but for now let's go through everything Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 does it right.
Active struggle
I can't be tired of the tensile foundation
Super Mario RPG: Legend of Seven Stars He is well remembered for many reasons, but his permanent legacy has always been his active fight. Ten years later Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 He seems to draw on Maria's past with his battle system based on turn. Some skills require players' accuracy and proper timing will increase the power of the attack.
Even more important is that timing avoids or parries Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 It will help keep the party alive longer. This active style of the battle system prevents aging, because the players must always stay on their feet instead of crushing the same several offensive buttons from the menus again and again. Fighting design is simple and complex at once.
Every playable figure is different
Go beyond the classroom
Turn -based combat systems can revive things with a class system and Final Fantasy is one of the biggest examples. Although classes are not part of the battle system, most RPGs based on turn have characters that can have different roles but perform the same way. There is where Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 It differs from the past and creates its own unique character model.
Every playable figure in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 It works differently than the last. For example, Lune could be called a magician figure, but her spells create something called spots that are used to create stronger attacks. With Monoco, players can steal enemy skills and also have to manage a bike that can strengthen certain attributes. Some characters are easier to understand than others, but they all have a value beyond typical class roles.
The last best game with the world map?
Hopefully not
It has been using RPG, Japanese or otherwise, has used a map of the world in its traverse system. Even Final Fantasy Since then one has not used in their main games Final Fantasy 9 on PS1, even though it appeared in some spinoffs as The world's final fantasy. Final Fantasy aside, the map of the world Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 It helps him give a clear taste of other modern RPGs.
It is an open world with a lot of places to go, but never feelsing up. It's mysterious and attracts players to explore more and more. The entities that surround the world map are intense than players can take them like Spron or SerpenPhare who are two of the most powerful bosses in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It only turns out that the future of RPG and games is not in an adventure in the open world completely. There are still ways to make world maps convincing.
Artistic style
It's not a graphic powerhouse
With such a meteoric rise to success it is difficult to believe that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 He was not developed by AAA studies as Square Enix. Sandfall Interactive calls AA at best and there are things that make it less like a game with a large budget. Graphics do not move the boundaries on the PC or current consoles, but may not.
It will age like a gentle, popular drink among the French, because the artistic style is clear and postponed. There is no symmetry for characters, enemies or world. It is strange, frightening, lacking bright colors, but to explore fun no matter. Lack of faces in some enemies adds a layer of souls to the project, which could not be a mistake. Although interactive call Sandfall Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 AA, it's an AAA experience through and through.
Music
Feel it in your soul
The design is something that can be seen, but does not have to hold a candle for music. There's so much, and it's not just one genre. Monoco's battle theme is a great example of electronics. A standout piece of the whole game is “Lumiere”, which is remixed and used several times.
Sandfall Interactive knows how many fans love the soundtrack, even goes so far that it promotes a joke trailer for vinyl starring Ben Starr, which plays delivery Clair Obscur: Expedition 33And Jennifer English, who plays Maelle. Thanks to the composer, Lorien Testard, fans will listen to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Soundtrack for years. It can be the greatest heritage of the game.
Loss
Metaphors on metaphors
Finally, there is a story of love, loss and revenge. It is all one big way for the Desendre family that overcomes the death of their beloved verso. The heart of his death was so great that Aline, mother, created this world to continue her heritage forever. This causes a tear in a family that creates a war in a painting world Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
The most tragic is that the citizens of this world have no idea that they are not real. Questions about humanity and what it means to be alive will appear. It is a real existential crisis, but as a grim game can be, it is not afraid to throw some humor, such as the need to fight, or Esquie's dream miracle. While the final message is a little confused, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 It can be studied and used as a great metaphor for things that players experience in life.
