Explore Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a thrilling journey in gaming that blends mystery and adventure. Discover what makes it unforgettable.
The gaming world experienced a surge of excitement and innovation in April. The month kicked off with the release of Blue Prince, a game that quickly became the year’s top critically acclaimed title. This was followed by the unexpected launch of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. However, April had more in store for gamers, with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 emerging as a standout experience. This game has not only met but exceeded expectations, earning descriptors such as ‘masterpiece’ and ‘game of the year’ from critics. It even surpassed Blue Prince in critical acclaim.
The game’s strong reception is evident in its outstanding sales performance. Sandfall Interactive, the creative studio behind this title, announced that over 1 million copies were sold within the first three days of release. This impressive milestone is particularly noteworthy given the game’s development by a small team of approximately 30 individuals, and its immediate availability on Game Pass.
Based in France, Sandfall Interactive is comprised largely of former Ubisoft employees. Their creation, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, is classified as a turn-based RPG. However, it distinguishes itself by incorporating real-time elements into the traditional turn-based format. Players engage with timed combat mechanics and must execute rapid responses during both offensive and defensive maneuvers.
The game’s narrative is a key component of its acclaim. Set in a mesmerizing yet unforgiving world, it explores a universe where a mysterious entity known as the Paintress dictates the age at which individuals will die each year. Expeditions are launched annually to uncover the mysteries of this grim system, yet they consistently end in failure. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 follows the journey of the 33rd expedition, a group determined to defy their predetermined fate and alter the course of their existence.
