Tahseen Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Review

Nov 13, 2025
One of the only JRPG that I actually enjoyed.. or is it more of an FRPG? Either way, its an amazing well written masterpiece with such a moving soundtrack and a gorgeous belle Époque art style. It’s got a story that pull at your heartstrings and takes what seems to be a basic tale of vengeance to a whole other level. Alongside an ensemble of some of the best written and acted characters I have seen in a long time. The gameplay is not something I thought I would gel with. I don’t mind turn based combat but having to make builds and do math is not my strong suite. I definitely stuck with it and got a hang of it, but if it wasn’t for the stellar story I probably would have dropped it like all the other JRPGs I’ve tried. I cannot explain in words just how “Incroyable” the games narration is and am beyond ecstatic that I give this game a go. To think I could have missed one of the most influential games of the year all because I’m afraid of a few numbers. 10/10 The French really pulled this one off.
