RedLanternKing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Review

Having seen all the hype and all of the praise this game was getting imagine my surprise to find that this is infact one of the worst games I have ever played. Everything in this game is covered in a layer of wet for some reason, flat monotone pallets. Character designs aren't bad, just genuinely uninspired. I kept saying the music was its saving grace since the music in the first two zones is wonderful. That all changes when get further in. The music goes from being a wonderful representation of the world and environment to this mismatch of genre and tone. Don't worry it's not all doom and gloom! They're are plenty of jokes to try to balance their attempt at edgy storytelling! Let me yell you, it is about half a step up from marvel humor. Minor spoiler for the first 20 mins: you're character is a coward, leave it to the French to write a story where a while army loses a fight. Write what you know i suppose. Combat: man they hyped this up, it's a rhythm game. Just dodge to the tempo and you win! Which is exactly what I want in a jrpg... the ability to only put my controller down on my t turn. Like ddr or guitar hero? You'll live this is essentially the same. Worth the rise of persona hand i had hoped the industry would take after that, a more fast paced and satisfying style of turn based I would say try it on game pass to save for money , but even that's a waste. Overall: I'm passing a kidney stone and that's more enjoyable then this mess
