Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

The dodging strat is OP. If you have enough stats and good at timing, you can go through the entire game dodging everything. Graphics are great, persona remakes can learn a lesson

This game has went way beyond what i have expected. as a big fanboy of persona games, the turn base felts similar but with a twist, its also has real time mechanics. The art is top notch, music amazing, and everything in between. This game came out of nowhere and just blew my mind away. My title 'When a game studio decides to have enough' if you know the story, you know, if not, I would suggest checking the story behind the game and the studio

I played around 10 hours of this game. Many of my friends told me it gets better and that I'm missing a lot. Fine, I don't disagree with them, maybe it does, but it's just not for me. This game is trying to be too many things at once. Its trying to be a turn strategy game, a timing game, a real time game, and much more. When I got this game, it felt like it was a JRPG but western, like a WRPG if that word even exists. Music is great, characters are awesome and voice actors are amazing. Everytime someone spoke it was like watching Castlevania Netflix Series all over again. But as the game progressed, it was trying to do too many things, get overly complicated in some parts, and dull in others. This is basically a persona game, mixed with other JRPG aspects and with souls like atmosphere and style. Things got repetitive and the only thing I was looking forward is progressing the story. I had similar with persona 3 game where it started to lose itself. Also as you travel, it becomes some sort of a minimap explore adventure game, rather than an open world, which no problems there, but it just feels out of place. Maybe I will come back to this, who know, but for now I dropped this game, and will give it a go maybe end of year.
