Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 offers an intriguing tale of a group of adventurers seeking to confront the Paintress, a deity whose paintings limit human lifespan. The game features a diverse cast, including Gustave, Lune, and Maelle, whose tragic journey is underscored by the idea of fighting for future generations. While combat incorporates modern elements reminiscent of Paper Mario, coupled with a rich narrative inspired by iconic JRPGs, the gameplay remains engaging despite inherent frustrations. Overall, the game promises a modern twist on a classic genre with immersive storytelling.
"Despite heavy losses, protocol is to keep moving forward, and that's because the expeditions don't seek out the Paintress because they believe they can be the ones to stop her; they do it to lay the groundwork for those who, they hope, eventually can."
"The French RPG is clearly inspired by the Japanese greats like Final Fantasy and Persona, but its Paper Mario-style timing elements and wealth of original mechanics keep its grind engaging and decidedly modern."
