"Fresh off its Game of the Year win, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has a new, free update that adds additional levels, upgrades, and boss fights to . If it's been a while since you checked in with Verso, Maelle, and the rest of the expedition, maybe, I dunno, go practice your parrying before you head into the new content, because even the sickos who were already dodging the game's most elaborate onslaughts are having trouble with these challenging fights."
"Look at how long this combo goes on in the new Duollistes fight: Some of the update's challenges come from a seemingly never-ending barrage of attacks, but a lot of its fights are pretty standard Clair Obscur fare in that they trick you with multiple fakeout attacks , baiting you into dodging and parrying before an enemy actually strikes, throwing off your rhythm and leaving you open to attack."
""I love this game, truly," they wrote. "This update is great, but these bosses are too much. Unless I spend a full 9 to 5 learning the reaction times only a robot can reach, I will never beat them. I already have to spend the day searching for a job and going disappointment after disappointment, I'm not mentally strong enough to suffer through these bosses afterwards, all it's doing is making me not like the game... which is something I don't want to happen.""
The free "Thank You Update" for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 adds additional levels, upgrades, an Endless Tower with revamped boss battles, and new boss fights and secret battles. Late-game encounters now include longer combos, fakeout attacks that bait dodges and parries, and one boss attack that can nuke the entire team. The update raises difficulty beyond previous late-game challenges, creating demanding, reaction-time-focused fights that even experienced players struggle with. Some players find the new boss run excessively punishing and demotivating, reporting frustration and inability to beat encounters without near-perfect timing or extensive practice.
