Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Important premise: the following review is based on my personal experience. Everytime I write a review, I try to be as objective as possible, in order to not let my personal tastes taint the objective quality of the product.
Graphics
Very high graphics quality. A noteworthy job has been done, especially about the details regarding lights, shadows, colours, particle and environmental effects. A praiseworthy attention to detail has been put in every location, leaving no stone unturned. The facial expressions in the cutscenes are of great quality as well. It is possible to witness a strong artistic inspiration in many places of the game.
Score: 9.7 / 10
Narrative
The narrative rhythm is well matched with the gameplay, creating a good balance between the player's interaction and the progression of the story. The subject matters of the story have been tackled in an intelligent, sensible and skilful way. The dialogues are of great quality, and the characters are well portrayed.
Score: 9.6 / 10
Gameplay
The difficulty level is impeccably coherent with its description. The software optimization is very good (on a machine that surpasses the recommended requirements, it is possible to play at 60 fps with half settings on "high" and half on "maximum"). The fighting system is creative, functioning, varied and designed to be friendly with any kind of player.
Score: 8.7 / 10
Sound
Fautless voice acting. The sound effects are very clear, clean and detailed, favouring a great immersion in the game.
Score: 9.3 / 10
Music
The product has many, high / sublime quality soundtracks, each one coherent with the circumstance during which it's played.
Score: 10 / 10
Overall
On the overall, it's a game I'd recommend to try to any player, regardless of personal tastes. It's a product of great quality, with excellences in more than one field.
Score: 4.7 / 5
