The game is really good, since everything is so good, I'll just mention what I did not like:
- The party of characters uses a weird number that doesn't let you have a nice second team.
- The colliders of the objects on the ground feel clunky, and you get stuck sometimes.
-
a masterpiece love letter to the jrpg genre improving on the formula at every turn
I don't leave reviews, but I made an account just to post how overwhelmed I am by CO:E33, it's my GOTY by a country mile and the most fun I've had in ages. I've played through it twice already, it's simply that good.
Expedition 33 is, quite frankly, unbelievably good. The team and Sandfall Interactive have put together a game that is greater than the sum of its parts, which is no small feat considering each of its parts are all 9 to 10 out of 10 already.
If I could give higher than
After more than 30 hours of play, I can tell you that, whether it's for the artistic direction, the narration, the gameplay or the soundtrack, this game should be classified as a UNESCO world heritage site.
THIS is what game should be. This is exactly what Square Enix should have done. This game is just the peak, I have 34 yo, playing since 7, and this game hits hard like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 7/9, Octopath Traveler. I don't get this addicted since Elden Ring. Congratulations
This game is amazing. The writing, the atmosphere, the characters, the ost and the battle system are all top notch. This is up there with BG3.
Very fun game with good storytelling and well done linear pathing. The most fun I had with the game was over the first 70% or so of the game before it begins to wear thin. Could have benefitted from some additional RPG elements and varying gameplay to keep it from

--me constantly
This game blew me away right from the beginning to the final Is sing it's praise more
If can’t see this not winning GOTY. I will recommend this game till the day I die
It's an adventure full of excitement, excellent characters, and incredible dialogue. It also feels like a classic JRPG—the thrill of checking out new powers and their synergies, and trying increasingly powerful combinations. One of the best games I've ever played, 100% recommended
This needs to be played to be fully appreciated. Reviews and previews do not do it justice....like at all.
I almost wasn't going to get this game and at the last minute decided to based on a promo song I have heard from the game.
The previews do not sell the game.
Brilliant story, gameplay, art style, soundtrack and characters. Also, good performance and nearly no bugs at near launch. Brilliant use of real-time defense mechanics to keep the turn-based more interactive. Remained consistent througout the game with nice twists in the story to keep me wanting to find out more.
Don't see the hype it gets most overrated game this year just waiting for GOY and ER
It's an immediate all time favorite. If you love turn based RPGs, this is the one.
