In the weeks immediately following its release, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has earned itself a lot of accolades. It's already sold two million copies, achieved the almost unheard of feats of its physical copies selling out and beating its own Steam concurrent player count in its second week, it now has the best user scores on both Metacritic and the PlayStation Store, and it has achieved acclaim from both revered Japanese developers and the French president. Not bad for your studio's first game.
A life to dream, hey.
The long list of achievements doesn't end there, though, as Clair Obscur now has higher Steam review ratings than many of its JRPG contemporaries.
Before we start, yes, I'm aware Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 isn't a JRPG. Its style and inspirations, though, are very much of JRPG nature, and thus, it deserves to be compared against them, so I will.
Over the last few days, according to SteamDB, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has risen to 92.52 percent positive reviews on Steam. It sits with "Very Positive" reviews, but more impressively, scores higher than many, many JRPG franchises.
On Steam, the highest-rated Final Fantasy game is Final Fantasy 9, with 92.2 percent positive...
